👨‍🍳A two-course meal: 🇮🇪BANSHEES and THE MENU movie reviews

Today, Anthony and Eddie review both THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN and THE MENU, in theaters now.

Show notes

Today, the guys discuss THE MENU, starring Ralph Fiennes. "Young couple, Margot and Tyler, travel to a remote island to eat at Hawthorne, an exclusive restaurant run by celebrity chef Julian Slowik, who has prepared a lavish molecular gastronomy menu where food is treated as conceptual art, although his approach to cuisine has some shocking surprises for the wealthy guests."

Also, Anthony talks about THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN. "Two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them."
