ayyy, it's time to talk marty! we brought our old pals Amy K and Anna back to discuss THE DEPARTED (2006), the long awaited best picture/best director awards scorsese had due for decades now, and of course the pussy posse. it's another classic "episode thats longer than the movie" session, so strap in and enjoy, pals! say hi to your mother for me!

help Amy K get in touch with rob mcelhenny by emailing his manager and directing him towards her project, maybe? nfrenkel@3arts.com seems legit.

Friends, we're glad to hve you here with us, at the end of all things... actually, we're still like 30 weeks away from the end of all this shit, it just feels like we're near. that's probably because we watched a trilogy of long ass movies this week then talked about them for a long ass time, with our pals Will, Brittney, and Anna! That's right, it's finally time for THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003)!!
