The Imbibe Cinema crew discuss Alan Parker's The Commitments (1991), which features performances by Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne, Angeline Ball, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Dave Finnegan, Bronagh Gallagher, Glen Hansard, Félim Gormley, Johnny Murphy, Dick Massey, Andrew Strong, Ken McCluskey, Colm Meaney, and more.
The featured cocktail for this post-screening discussion is The Irish Whiskey Ginger.
Jimmy Rabbitte, just a thick-ya out of school, gets a brilliant idea: to put a soul band together in Barrytown, his slum home in north Dublin. First he needs musicians and singers: things slowly start to click when he finds three fine-voiced females virtually in his back yard, a lead singer (Deco) at a wedding, and, responding to his ad, an aging trumpet player, Joey “The Lips” Fagan.
In this episode, Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival Operations Director Jonathan C. Legat (co-host) is joined by Cinema Centennial Program Director Tricia Legat (co-host), Executive Director Michael Noens (producer), and special guest Mary Shields.
Remember to imbibe responsibly! If you haven't seen 'The Commitments,' watch the film before you listen to the episode.
