    On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1935 John Ford movie The Informer. The story of Gypo Nolan, a disgraced IRA man of war in 1920s British occupied Ireland and his willingness to sell out his comrade best friend for a small reward. Victor McLaglen gives an all-time great sweaty performance as Gypo and his descent into guilt, remorse and whiskey until atonement is the only option. An underappreciated classic from John Ford.

    Other topics include lessons in Irish independence, Ti West’s X Trilogy, visiting the Vista and the Music Box Theatre, more 80s hair metal, Riot Fest, The Scissors in Chicago, and the new Films of Faith Scorsese collection.
