OM DENNE EPISODE
Last week we bet big that Raging Bull would be the first truly amazing film of this miniseries. And this week, we’re pleased to say: we were correct! Everything seems to have come together at just the right time for this to be a truly stunning work of art: Robert De Niro’s passion, Martin Scorsese’s redemption, and Thelma Schoonmaker’s pitch-perfect editing. And that’s before we even get to Joe Pesci! We also discuss the best movie-within-a-movie movies, our embarrassing lack of familiarity with Stallone, Viola Davis’ interest in cats acting, and some theory on why black and white and color in film usually don’t mix well.

New miniseries time! We’re kicking off our series on Kelly Reichardt with her directorial debut, the festival darling River of Grass.
