In his short career as a writer / director, John Michael McDonagh has brought them 3 features, all of which have been characterised by taut narrative, black comedy and whip-crack dialogue. First up was The Guard, starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, which is officially the most financially successful Irish independent movie of all time. Then came Calvary, a darkly humorous drama about a priest tormented by his community. Now he's crossed the Atlantic with War On Everyone, another twisted comedy in which Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Peña play a pair of tearaway New Mexico cops. John's heartfelt passion for music is reflected in the wide variety of artists he's used in his work. During the course of their conversation, you'll hear tunes from The Clash, The Fun Loving Criminals, REM, M.O.P and John Denver, among many, many others. They'll also discuss his collaborations on score with Calexico, Patrick Cassidy and Lorne Balfe. See less
