“The Irishman. Okay. This is one of the other movies that I went back the next day and saw again. Certainly one of Scorsese’s most underrated, I feel like it’s underappreciated. I mean, it’s about death and it’s about coming to terms with your life ending. One of the great De Niro performances. That phone call he makes at the end is heartbreaking. And it’s a Martin Scorsese mob movie with no rock and roll in it, and I think that is significant. I think it’s an extraordinary movie.”
