Description
Kelsi and Trey discuss Martin Scorsese's best picture winner The Departed; a pretty extreme movie about identity and best enjoyed as an anxiety-inducing bleak comedy. We explore how its both Scorsese's messiest and possibly most rewatchable project. A cat-and-mouse thriller that devolves into a thematically complicated movie about assimilation; when the cops and the criminals realize they are only nominally a family and are actually just competition to one another is when its theme of economic assimilation is most successful. Also, it's not a half bad movie when Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson, and Alec Baldwin are searching for microprahcesssors!
