On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a family quest to retrieve our lucky coin that was stolen by leprechauns. Yes, literal leprechauns. It\\u2019s the 2001 film by Paul Hoen, The Luck of the Irish.

Did anyone else have a middle school experience where your parents started shrinking, you started sucking at basketball out of the blue, your friends got on your case\\u2014and hard\\u2014about not knowing your heritage, and you were transported around the world to play classic Irish strength and endurance games, or was that just poor Kyle Johnson?

This guy has lived a sheltered and fortunate life until he makes the understandable mistake of attending his town\\u2019s Irish appreciation festival. It\\u2019s there that the lucky coin that\\u2019s passed down through his family is stolen straight off his neck by some step-dancing fools.

His life gets so hard, guys. Sooo hard! His mother starts shrinking, he meets his grandfather for the first time and that guy immediately starts growing a massive beard, and those previously mentioned fools put his family\\u2019s lives in danger! This is all done amid some pretty egregious anti-Irish joking, but hey, the early \\u201800s weren\\u2019t the most progressive years.

Being a B-movie bonus episode, we finish off the episode by crowning this film with our most sacred of rankings. Is this one a blunder, a flunder, or the lucky brilliant? Listen on to find out!
