Houli and his son Paddy are together again for a lively Hibernian Radio, talking movies, Irish America, and the upcoming Irish American Movie Hooley Film Festival, September 25–27 at the Wilmette Theater. They run through this year’s lineup, including Once We Were Punks, John Ford: Dreaming the Quiet Man, Belief, and Ghost Writer. They then get into what it means to be Irish American in 2026, why fewer Irish Americans are telling their own stories, and how YouTube and modern technology are making it easier to bypass Hollywood’s gatekeepers. Naturally, the conversation wanders into Chicago politics, public safety, post-COVID Chicago, the River Shannon Pub, and a few old South Side memories.Plus, Mike and Paddy look ahead to their Hibernian Media sponsored October Ireland trip and close things out with their traditional community obituaries.
