Episode Two: The Departed
Good Monday to you all!
Who wants to start the week off with some Scorsese, some Dropkick Murphys and a lot of swearing?!
Oh The Departed, the movie I never thought I would enjoy. I can’t remember where I saw this the first time but I’m sure it was only so I could watch it for my yearly Oscar pool. I’m SO glad that I did though! This is a basic cops and robbers with a twist and has some of the best acting I’ve seen in a long time from some of my favorite actors.

Some show notes:
- The podcast now has a name! I Love That Movie! I tend to say that about just about everything (I love that picture! I love that blanket! I love that lamp!) so I thought it would just be an appropriately fun name!
- This movie really REALLY earns it’s R rating so be forewarned!
- Won Best Director and Best Picture of the Year 2007
- Scorsese now has just as many Oscars as Three 6 Mafia
- Mark Wahlberg = Hilarious!
- Microprocessors? Really?!
- This movie says the F word 237 times!
- Total guy flick but I love this movie!
- I watched this with some of my favorite guys so it was fun to hear what they thought about the movie while I watched it with them!
- My Leonardo DiCaprio confession. Don’t judge me! hehe
- Worst sign off so far but I promise to work on the rambling and sign offs for the future! hehe
I’m going to have to give this movie 3 out of 4 expletives because this movie is a wonderful use of the F Bomb!
Have a movie suggestion for me? I have a crap ton, so odds are I’ll have your movie! If I don’t own it I’ll find it, watch it and if I love it you could see it here!
Here is an awesome music video I found of the movie with a great little ditty by an awesome band, Dropkick Murphys. WARNING: There are a fair amount of F bombs dropped so maybe wait until the little ones are out to the room to watch! hehe
