Rico travels to Dublin and Belfast, and hangs with an epic lineup of local heroes, to learn how Ireland went from a backdrop for Hollywood romantic comedies to one of the hottest film cultures on the planet. Featuring directors Rich Peppiatt (Kneecap, 2024) and John Crowley (Brooklyn, 2015), super-producer Ed Guiney (Poor Things, 2023), and acting legends Fiona Shaw (Hot Milk, 2025) and Carrie Crowley (The Quiet Girl, 2022).

Part travelogue, part deep-dive storytelling, the latest season sees host Rico Gagliano jet off to Ireland, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Istanbul, to learn about their cultures through the lens of cinema. Season 8’s guests include actors Gael García Bernal (Amores Perros, 2000) and Fiona Shaw (Hot Milk, 2025), writer/directors Rich Peppiatt (Kneecap, 2024), Evan Goldberg (The Studio, 2025) and Halina Reijn (Babygirl, 2024), producer Ed Guiney (Poor Things, 2023), production designer Eugenio Caballero (Roma, 2018), and a host of other filmmakers, programmers, academics, cinema owners, critics, tour guides, and festival directors.
