Episode 43: THE DEPARTED
This week we discuss the 2006 crime thriller The Departed, which may or may not be Bonnie's first Martin Scorsese movie.
The film stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Matt Damon facing off as double agents straddling both sides of the law. The star-studded cast also features Jack Nicholson as a Boston mob boss, Vera Farmiga as a state psychiatrist, plus Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin as law enforcement officers.
The Departed ranks #27 on our countdown.
Join us next week for the boxing classic, Rocky.
Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.
*What is this list?
We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
