b'Once was a 2007 musical drama directed by John Carney. It featured Glen Hansard and Mark\\xe9ta Irglov\\xe1 of folk act the Swell Season in starring roles as two struggling musicians recording a record, and tensely working through mounting romantic feelings. Produced by the Irish Film Board on a shoestring budget, it was a considerable commercial and critical success, and received numerous film awards, including an Academy Award for Best Original Song, via the now iconic folk ballad "Falling Slowly".

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott go guestless and celebrate a year of podcasting with a screening of Once, directed by the same filmmaker who did their first episode\'s film Sing Street. Join them as Scott questions the timeline of events, Lilz relates to the busking life just a little too much, and both engage in truly questionable Irish accents.
