30: Gangs of New York (2002) "Ride or Die for Liam Neeson"
Manage episode 354709120 series 3399418
Why the Flick? is back, baby! And there's been some changes. To kick off a new season and a (mostly) new podcast, we're joined by former cohost-turned-guest Elizabeth to discuss Gangs of New York (2002). This episode, we get into Scorsese's critically-acclaimed film that shines a light on a forgotten point in American history. For one of us, it's a nearly perfect movie. For the other, it doesn't have nearly enough Liam Neeson. From gangs to war to politics, we break down the plot's murder revenge story mixed with real-life events and whether or not it succeeds. We also share our thoughts on Daniel Day-Lewis' method acting as Bill (or Billy as we prefer), Neeson as a hot priest, and a rumored TV show in the works.
