About this episode
Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time. We're talking Scorsese at his absolute PEAK. We dissect The Departed scene by scene with a modern eye. Which character might be secretly gay? Did you catch the hidden on-screen tell about which characters wouldn’t make it to the end of the movie? Would you rather be Colin or Billy? So grab your cranberry juice, tell your mom you’re not gonna make it home for supper.
