Reel 35: Scorsese and Christianity
Martin Scorsese has never shied away from the fact that he is a Catholic, and that his religion oftentimes informs his work. There are few places where it’s more overt than in the two films we cover this week. First we have 1988’s The Last Temptation of Christ, which portrays a side of Jesus (Willem…

Reel 34: Epic Altman

Reel 31: Pacino and DeNiro Together
It’s not our worst title, but it does get to the point. Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro appeared in four films together. And that’s if you count The Godfather Part II, in which they shared zero screen time because they appeared in separate timelines. So that really makes three, including a 2008 movie called Righteous…
