    Episode 48: The Wild Bunch

    For this week's episode, we've rounded up our very own Wild Bunch with Nick Mear joining Sarah and MJ to discuss this classic Western movie. Not only was this movie a huge influence on Scorsese, but apparently influenced every movie ever.

    Episode 47: The Age of Innocence

    Opinions are divided amongst your illustrious hosts this week! Join Sarah & MJ as they discuss Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence. They discuss the film's not-so-subtle symbolism, the acting performances, and find some similarities with another pod favorite movie (and Daniel Day-Lewis starring), Phantom Thread.

    Episode 46: The Heiress

    We're back with another companion film and fiendishly, Martin Scorsese includes The Heiress on his list twice ... for The Age of Innocence and Killers of the Flower Moon. We're talking about it (mostly) in relation to the former, however, it is hard to ignore some of the similarities with KOTFM! We discuss Olivia de Havilland's astonishing performance, why this movie felt stressful to watch, and much more!

    Episode 45: The Leopard

    We're starting the journey towards Marty's The Age of Innocence with Luchino Visconti's 1963 movie, The Leopard. This wasn't a film we enjoyed all that much, but we did get to appreciate another appearance from pod fave, Alain Delon and one of us got to admire the incredible restoration work Marty and The Film Foundation did!

    Episode 44: Cape Fear

    Sarah and MJ are joined by Martin Buddery to talk about Marty's remake of Cape Fear! They discuss the knife's edge between heavy and fun in this film, Spielberg and Scorsese trading projects to get this made, oddball alternate casting choices. And, of course, the classic episode of The Simpsons.

    Episode 43: The Night of the Hunter

    The Night of the Hunter was chosen by Martin Scorsese as the companion film for his own Cape Fear, and we were HYPED to talk about this 1955 masterpiece. Joining Sarah and MJ is the man who (quite literally) wrote the book on Cape Fear, Rob Daniel.

    Episode 42: Goodfellas

    Just a trio of good fellas talking about some ... not very good fellas, but a very, very good movie. Joining us this week is podcast host and friend, Nick Mear, talking about Martin Scorsese masterpiece "Goodfellas." We talk about the film's many great moments, continue to prove that Scorsese is a feminist (yes, really), and the great injustice that it didn't win the Oscar for editing.

    Episode 41: Jules & Jim

    Our final stop on the road to Goodfellas is François Truffaut's Jules & Jim. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie it becomes abundantly clear what Martin Scorsese has lifted from it for his own picture, but there's plenty more to dive into besides that. We discuss the chaotic and interesting relationships in this movie and coin a new phrase, "Marty-splaining."
