“YOU ARE NAHWT A CAHWP!!” This week we try to find the rat in our deep dive into Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. Many think it’s a masterpiece, we don’t. Listen as we try to figure out the hype, discuss why this film isn’t a Billy Bob, point out Jack’s physical limitations, and discover Cole’s true feelings for Mark Wahlberg. As a bonus, we have a Quick Burn to talk about Celine Sciamma’s incredible “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”. I hope Celine and the entire cast and crew are listening because we couldn’t love this film more.

If any of you guessed “Cast Away” on the last episode, then you, YOU HAVE MADE FIRE!!
