When I think of the St. Patrick’s Day influence on pop culture I think of a cereal, a bar of soap, and a film starring Jennifer Aniston.

Who can forget the movie Leprechaun from 1993? What a difference 16 years makes, especially when it comes to Jennifer Aniston’s career.

Then there is that bar of soap that leaves you feeling “Clean as a whistle”. Irish Spring has changed a lot since their retro TV commercials. Visit GetIrishNow.com  and they’ll teach you how to meet a lass, defend her honor and even show you how to get a raise.

Blue diamonds, green clovers… that yummy high fructose corn syrup mixed with Red Dye #40. According to Wikipedia Lucky Charms Cereal has been referenced in pop culture media many times. From the films Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, to TV Shows like Family Guy, and the Simpsons. There’s even a song entitled Lucky Charms by The Moldy Peaches.

There are so many great movies out there with an Irish theme, some subtle and some blatant as the Blarney Stone.

For the John Wayne enthusiast there’s The Quiet Man with one of my favorite actresses Maureen O’Hara.

Who could forget Far & Away  starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Remember when they were the paparazzi’s favorite couple? Wow that does seem far and away now doesn’t it?

If you’re a Boondock Saints fan I’m sure you’ll be popping in your DVD to watch Sean Patrick Flanery  and Norman Reedus. Don’t forget to show off your favorite Boondock Saints T from Hot Topic.

Let’s listen to Van Morrison, who is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter, sing the title song from his album in 1972, Saint Dominic’s Preview.

We could have an entire site devoted to the Irish in pop culture. I end this post with a song by The Pogues. Play it this Tuesday Morning. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

In 2000, The Boondock Saints wasn’t a mainstream movie but it did become a cult hit. Eager fans have been asking director Troy Duffy for a sequel and finally he’s giving the fans what they asked for with The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.

Lots of great actors were involved with the first movie, and most will be returning, Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flannery and Billy Connolly  to name a few. I was excited to read that one of my favorite actors from The Breakfast Club, Judd Nelson, has added to the cast.

I cooked up some questions for Troy Duffy, and the cast of All Saints Day for the live video cast that will be held on Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 at 3pm EST Check it out and see what HIH question they choose.

UPDATE 12/10/2008: Troy Duffy did answer my questions. Listen for questions from housewifeinhollywood.com towards the end of the video conference, near 01:04:38.
