This week, it's the Corruption Themed Trilogy: WOLF OF WALL STREET, THE IRISHMAN & KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON!

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

*Why are these well-intended misfires somewhat dull & rather inaccurate?

*Why does Wolf of Wall Street feel as divisive as Scarface?

*Why were some of the actors in The Irishman unfairly thrown under the bus for playing underveloped characters?

*Why did Scorsese get too derivative of his own style here?

*And a neat clip at the end of a Scorsese 2019 BBC1 Radio Interview where he discussed the on-going arguments about running time and movie lengths.
