S4E39.5: The Irishman

This is a preview of a Bonus episode! You can find the whole thing, as well as our 5-year backlog, on our reasonably-priced Patreon! This week on the Kill James Bond Podcast, we return to the Brains Dojo. The Irishman is Martin Scorsese's sprawling adaptation of I Heard You Paint Houses, a 2004 book detailing the trueish story of Frank Sheeran, a mob hitman who was potentially the guy who killed Jimmy Hoffa. Set during the long tail of the 20th century, The Irishman conceives of all modern American history as one immense unfolding crime spree committed by backstabbing, self-interested morons. And hey, is that so inaccurate? ----- FREE PALESTINE - With the ceasefire in full effect, the media has returned to ignoring the daily atrocities in Gaza.
