The Irishman | Let Us Explain

The Irishman | Let Us Explain

THE IRISHMAN (2019): Young Robert De Niro, middle-aged Robert De Niro, and old Robert De Niro star in the new Martin Scorsese movie The Irishman.

Zach was at the World Premiere for the New York Film Festival, so Art asks what to expect, how it compares to movies like Casino & Goodfellas, as well as if it's worth seeing this movie in a movie theater before it hits streaming.
