Episode 124: Leap Year

Episode 124 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell and their mantra of "any movie, any year, any quality" certainly gets a test this time out.

It's a Leap Year, and with an episode release date of 29th February, what better time would there be to cover LEAP YEAR, the 2010 romcom starring Amy Adams as a "stager" looking to surprise her boyfriend by travelling to Ireland with the intention of taking advantage of a tradition which allows her to propose on Leap Day. Will complications ensue with her grumpy driver Declan? Of course.

Your hosts discuss not only international incident-level Irish stereotyping but also some unexpected and equally unwelcome Welsh stereotyping, and that's just the start of this movie's list of offences. There's a very unfortunate outcome for a chicken, an odd grasp of geography, a weird anti-singleton stance and bizarre verbal assaults during dinner. All played for laughs. Unsurprisingly, Hayley and Darren had thoughts.

One HD Movie Podcast tradition we can all get behind is the music of Mitch Bain, who writes and performs the tunes you hear on the podcast. You can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
