On this episode of 'Revisiting the Oscars' we're back to the mid-2000s for Scorsese's only Oscar win for 'The Departed'.
We may have recorded this at Christmas time but there's little Christmas cheer on show as the films we're talking about cover war, suicide and death by car accident, but don't worry - we'll do our best to brighten things up!
Films included on this pod alongside 'The Departed' are the globe spanning drama 'Babel', the aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 'The Queen', Clint Eastwood's Japanese war drama 'Letters from Iwo Jima' and a little independent road trip movie in 'Little Miss Sunshine'.
All this and the usual nonsense, banter and fun facts!
