Wonder who he will go to for mob guys? Matt Mccoughney would be decent

DiCaprio will be one as he's already worked with him numerous times. Am I right in thinking he did the Departed? If so, Matt Damon is another.

Zerozerozero coming to sky looks solid!

Watching The Ripper documentary. Really interesting. The look at life in the 70’s is a bit scary as well.

Yea life in the 70s was hugely different to now. We have so much stuff today that nobody was even thinking about back then.

I watched it in three parts. Also recommend it. The special effects to de-age and age them is fantastic.

Same here. Took me a while to get into it if I'm honest and while it was good, I wasn't blown away. If anything I think the fact they used De Niro and Pesci/Pacino for parts they were clearly too old for took something away. At some point Scorsese is going to have to find new go to mob guys.

The length of it put me off for a long time as well but it almost feels like a mini-series within a film I think. It goes at a nice pace, for a 3 and half hour film if that makes sense.

It's definitely worth watching if you can find the time.

Finally finished the Irishman last night. Not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a film so much where nothing really happens but in a way I don’t think it needs to. Every main role is played by a legendary actor and they all play them so well. The one thing I love about Stephen Graham is that it doesn’t matter whether he’s in a film with a massive Hollywood budget or a gritty Shane Meadows channel 4 drama, he always plays his character so well.

Just finished Knives Out. Brilliant film.

Started the Lillyhammer series on Netflix today, been on my list for ages. I am a huge fan of the Sopranos so was a bit worried about this.

Much better than I expected it to be, it is a comedy, but holds up well. Will be giving it at least 1 full season.

Ryan

@matt-wood Will add this to the list!

If anyone is a fan of Noomi Rapace (underrated actress imo) I can recommed 'Close' on Netflix as an easygoing watch. Also something a bit more out there from Noomi, 'What Happened to Monday' is really good.

John Folan

Death to 2020 is excellent

Ryan

I watched 'For Life' on sky recently based on a true story, they've added a lot of additional bits to it for TV purposes but it's a solidly good show!
