Episode 60: The Informer

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1935 John Ford movie
The Informer. The story of Gypo Nolan, a disgraced IRA man of war
in 1920s British occupied Ireland and his willingness to sell out
his comrade best friend for a small reward. Victor McLaglen gives
an all-time great sweaty performance as Gypo and his descent into
guilt, remorse and whiskey until atonement is the only option. An
underappreciated classic from John Ford.


Other topics include lessons in Irish independence, Ti West’s X
Trilogy, visiting the Vista and the Music Box Theatre, more 80s
hair metal, Riot Fest, The Scissors in Chicago, and the new Films
of Faith Scorsese collection.
