For this week's second podcast review, myself, Casey Lee Clark, Dan Bayer & guest Candice Frederick discuss Trey Edward Shults' third film "Waves."

For this week's second podcast review, myself, Casey Lee Clark, Ryan C. Showers , Cody Dericks & Tom O'Brien talk about Martin Scorsese's latest film "The Irishman" reuniting him with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and for the first time ever, working with Al Pacino. A Netflix film with a production budget of over $150 million, heavily involved CGI, a sprawling story that takes place over several decades, packed with heavy themes and meta-commentary, Scorsese's late career gangster film has been hailed as a modern masterpiece. What does the NBP team think about it though? Kick back and a take a listen as we chat about Scorsese's near three and a half hour epic. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
