“It is an obnoxious way to tell a story…” - Andrew on the film's structure
On this week’s show, Listener Request Month 2026 makes the chicken come home to roost as we are finally forced to chat about Troy Duffy’s 1999 dorm-room-poster-movie, The Boondock Saints!
Why in the world did they think this ‘re-cap the crime’ format needed to happen? Why is Rocco’s character name just the real actor’s actual name? Where do they get this super-human strength to rip toilets out of floors and jump off five-story buildings with ease? And what’s with Troy Duffy’s hatred of the Mafia? PLUS: If you get bit by a Muppet, will you turn into one by the next full moon?
The Boondock Saints stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, Gerard Parkes, Carlo Rota, Ron Jeremy, and Willem Dafoe as Paul Smecker; directed by Troy Duffy.
Be sure to catch us on the road in Minneapolis on 3/20 and Chicago on 3/22 where we’ll be talking Conan the Barbarian and Big respectively. Tickets on sale now!
