About this episode

In this St. Patrick's Day special, Colin discusses Irish movies while being sober and answers various humorous questions.

Happy St. Pattys Day! Or is it St. Paddys ? St. Patrick drove all those snakes off the island; the least you could do is spell his name correctly. Contrary to everything he holds dear Colin is dead sober right now for this episode and he talks about the reason why. Then, as Mick at the Movies begins to wind down its epic run of episodes, it ends in the only way that makes sense, Colin talking about Irish movies. What follows is a personal collection of movies with terrible accents and focused specifically on an era where being Irish meant shooting guns, taking shots, and a superior technical efficiency in making car bombs. Questions he answers in this episode: Is Colin really sober? Why? Does Colin whistle by blowing out or sucking in? Did Brad Pitt listen to Tommy Lee Jones' terrible Irish accent and then pull up the Usher "Watch This" meme? Is Sean Bean Irish? When Colin tells Tim that they won't have time to get to Tim's Billy Bob Thornton rankings that he added to the outline five minutes before recording, does Tim cut off one of his fingers and throw it at Colin's door? This episode includes AI-generated content.
