The movie this week is The Departed, chosen by the legend Crack Amico himself. Within moments we’re off into Leonardo DiCaprio’s bizarre bedroom rituals (earbuds in, podcast on, vape cloud rising) .
A tissue break later, we’re deep in Boston accents that play like a Dunkin’ Donuts ad, and the homoerotic scrums of rugby.
From there, we imagine a Baltimore remake where Alec Baldwin yells about diabetic test strips instead of microchips, debate whether Nicholson’s dildo was ever in the script (spoiler: he brought it from home), and get lost in the IMDB trivia rabbit hole of Wahlberg attacking extras with kendo sticks. Then, Nicholson’s Lakers courtside energy bleeds into his robe-and-lobster lifestyle and we establish that ball is life.
We close with Crack Amico on music, sobriety, Marlboro Blacks as the working man’s cigarette, chasing a closet full of silk robes and kimonos, and plotting his first studio album. It's an insightful look into one of the best artists out right now and you don't want to miss it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
