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

Saw this in my Google Reader, haven’t listened to the podcast yet, but had to comment anyway because The Departed is one of my all-time favorite movies. The story, the all-star cast! I mean, what a good movie for your 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon game!
Like you, I loved Mark Wahlberg. And Jack Nicholson… oh my – he’s never been so bad. I mean, this is worse than Joker bad in the Batman movie.
Looking forward to hearing your review.

I’d check out “Casino” if you liked it. Very good modernish Scorsese film.
