Five For Your Radar: Peaky Blinders on Netflix, Tom Dunne in West Cork, Tony Cantwell...
Project Hail Mary and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
Adapted from Andy Weir’s novel by Drew Goddard, and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Spider-Verse franchise), the near three-hour stars Ryan Gosling as lone astronaut Ryland Grace, who awakens with amnesia on a spaceship light-years from Earth. He gradually pieces together his mission: to save Earth from a mysterious phenomenon causing the Sun to dim and triggering a catastrophic ice age. He must use his scientific knowledge and ingenuity to find a solution, potentially with the help of an unexpected companion.

One third of the podcast, Tony Cantwell brings his new show You Cry Weird to De Barra’s on Friday. It dives into the bizarre things that have made him cry — from dog documentaries to drunken treadmill disasters and childhood mortification. Full of wildly personal stories, surreal sidesteps and more tangents than a men’s beach in summer, it’s chaotic, heartfelt and hilarious. The show also promises puns.

Released in cinemas a couple of weeks ago, this feature-length finale arrives on Netflix on Friday. In the rubble of 1940 Birmingham, amid the Blitz's fury, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is torn from his self-imposed exile when his estranged son Duke (Barry Keoghan) becomes entangled in a treacherous Nazi scheme to flood Britain with counterfeit currency. Will he reclaim the Peaky Blinders' throne or set fire to everything he's built? By order of the Peaky Blinders.

Irish Examiner columnist Tom Dunne (Something Happens) and Fiachna Ó Braonáin (Hothouse Flowers) team up with multi-instrumentalist Alan Connor (Late Late Show House Band, Sharon Shannon) for an evening of songs and stories. Old classics and favourites are promised alongside three-part harmonies, road tales, humour, and emotion — and they promise you'll be home by 11pm.

Féile Fearann Rí is a community-based traditional Irish & folk music festival on Cork city's northside, featuring musicians of all ages (including local schools). It launches at 6.30pm at Hollyhill Library on Wednesday, March 25, featuring traditional music, song, and storytelling with Clare Sands and the Gab. The Gala concert the following evening is at Farranree’s Church of the Resurrection, headed by Clare Sands. The weekend continues with sessions, workshops and a Rí Rá Mná live podcast recording at the Kabin Studio.
