Off The Wagon Podcast: The Cult Movies of Neil Breen


Before the Strange Ireland podcast, which focused on strange aspects of Irish history, I occasionally hosted a 'cast called Off The Wagon. Now it's back! It's more varied, less scripted, and lots of fun. The first episode is about the terrible, terrible movies of Neil Breen.


The movies of cult filmmaker Neil Breen are so bad they're hallucinogenic. Hypnotic, even. Cian and Ali can't get enough of them. In this 'cast they discuss all four of Breen's movies.

To feed his ego, Breen always casts himself as a super-powerful, flawless hero. Sometimes he's a genius hacker, sometimes a successful author, sometimes he's even a straight-up Space Jesus come to punish humanity for its mistakes. But you can be sure that there will always be lots of hacking of government and corporate secrets, lots of awkward canoodling with much-younger women, and lots of astoundingly bad writing, acting and dialogue.

The movies of Breen are like nothing you've ever seen before. He's the new Tommy Wiseau: if you think The Room is funny, Neil Breen elevates bad movie-making to an art form. Newbies and Breen-iacs alike will find something to enjoy in this deep-dive. Check out what happens when Off The Wagon goes full Breen.
