    Episode 50: The Horse Thief

    We're now on the road to Kundun and the first movie paired with it is 1986's The Horse Thief, the movie Martin Scorsese calls his "favorite movie of the '90s" (no there isn't a typo in that). It's a curious movie but one that HEAVILY influenced Scorsese, not just for Kundun but across his career. We also bring things more up to date to discuss Marty's recent AI controversy.

    Episode 49: Casino

    Joining us this week to discuss Casino is film critic Kelechi Ehenulo. There's much to discuss in this epic not-quite-3-hour-long movie including why it's another feminist masterpiece from Martin Scorsese (yes, really), the incredible trio of performances, and how it compares to Goodfellas. Stick around to find out what bombshell fact leads Sarah to possible violence and who she might have to fight in the desert as a result. Follow Kelechi on Bluesky and Instagram, and read her reviews here.

    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!
