"In episode #108, we posed a simple question: Which movie should be turned into a graphic novel? Your responses to the question became the fodder for a great conversation. Turning the typical page-to-screen progression on its head, we dig into the strengths and weaknesses of each medium. We discuss the possibility of seeing Mystery Train, Walkabout, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Zardoz, Hero, Die Hard, and Gangs of New York crammed into little action-packed drawings. We check in with Karina for a hindsight conversation about awards season. She poses the question: Who would win in a fight,

"To review this movie it helps actually to try to figure what it is. And it is allot of things.

A classic style mob movie with murdered fathers and revengeful sons. And all this with a great cast and in a richly stylized setting. Now I am going to do what I usually do and that is to work though what I set out in that first paragraph. Trying to allot a paragraph to each thing. All the while trying to bring out an honest dialogue about the good and bad, the weak and strong et cetera of the movie. And for this one, that is going to be a bit of a monster undertaking. First, on Scorsese. I haven't seen allot by him. "Age of Innocence", "Taxi Driver" maybe some other works but not "The Aviator" not "Raging Bull" some but not all of "The Departed".

First time director Keven McAlester makes this clear in his documentary on the musician, You’re Gonna Miss Me. Detailing his rise and fall, the film has perfect pace, tone, and style.As the film progresses, it is hard to believe that the story has remained untold for so long. The band was responsible for coining the term “psychedelic rock” and is described as one of the only bands able to transition from the 60s to the 70s, two very different musical eras. Like a good musical documentary, McAlester’s film is focused on the person himself but never lets you forget about his music. Though little archival footage is used that actually shows Roky (as he is always called in the film) in action, the m ... "
