Ep. 546 - The Irishman (GUEST: Melissa Tamminga from Seattle Screen Scene)

As 2019 comes to an end, David, Devindra, and Jeff evaluate the
merits of "worst of the year" list. For the feature review, the
cast plus Melissa Tamminga, writer for @SeattleScreen, discuss
The Irishman, the latest crime drama directed and produced by
Martin Scorsese. Does the three and half hour Netflix epic live
up to its spiritual predecessors Mean Streets and
GoodFellas?
