I’m with Thomas Flight here. I feel like I’m in the 0.001% of people who adore this movie and watch it often. Weirdly enough, it’s turned into kind of a comfort movie. The Irishman still so perfectly fits in the mob movie genre, with its flashy music and spurts of bloody violence…yet it ends up giving us a story that’s so much more reflective, haunting and powerful than any movie in the genre before.
You are tremendous pals, the only hope for the near future is hear you in more talks. It is a value for conscience and come back with information that develops love for cinema. Thanks for your work in this kind of analysis.
how is the depicting of women dated in a movie where that is the whole point? the men end up alone and lonely contemplating what they have done in once upon a time in hollywood.. also a masterpiece which scorsese loves
I love The Irishman, though not perfect/at the height of Scorsese's masterpieces. I love its inherent sadness and deconstruction of the gangster tropes. I just found it so entertaining to watch. Don't like to sound critical, but I am always surprised at the superficialities that Tom can SEEM to fixate on when discussing films when he's such a broad and exciting, indepth thinker (although you both make really valid points about the de-ageing effects) I can be the same to be honest anyway, so I can't talk myself :p
It would have been a masterpiece without the de-aging. What an absolutely brutal decision to cast those old timers. Imagine this movie with a Tom Hardy or someone middle aged who could easily be made to look older. As you point out- perhaps this was all an intentional decision by Scorcese... almost had to be it was so blatantly terrible. I wonder what his thoughts were sitting in the editing room watching a decrepit deniro pretending to lay down a curb stomp- so cringy... probably regret.
I miss this podcast so much, you two are my favorite film creators and this was by far the podcast I most looked forward to.
please continue the podcast! You guys can articulate feelings and thoughts that i have after seeing these films better than anything else ive found
Is the podcast still continuing? Haven't seen any updates on here, the website or on Nebula.
Yeah I've been wondering the same thing. I was really enjoying these and I hope they bring the podcast back
When will be the next episode? I love listening to you guys.

For the de-age scenes I tried to imagine he is remembering and his mind is fading away to suspend my disbelief a little
Love the grand “Boy with Apple’ painting.

“The Outfit” was a pretty solid gangster movie from the 2020s.
Jesus Christ I hate the fools who focus on the de-aging instead of the great story. It shows me they can't dive deep into a movie
It might just be me but I was pretty bored with this one. I felt like the switch to cold blooded murder was way too quick for me personally
