Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\\n\\nFor this month\'s first throwback podcast review, I was joined by\\xa0Giovanni Lago,\\xa0Danilo Castro, and guest\\xa0Larry Fried\\xa0to discuss the first collaboration between Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese and Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro in "Mean Streets" to help us get ready for the release of their latest piece of work together in "Killers Of The Flower Moon." Shot on a small budget with very few resources, the movie may not have been the official feature directorial debut for Scorsese, but it would be the film that would put him on the map and lay the foundation for much of the greatness that would come after for both him and De Niro. Also starring Harvey Keitel in one of his best roles, David Proval, Amy Robinson, Victor Argo, Richard Romanus & David Carradine, the film is very much a snapshot of 1970s style filmmaking as much as it is a personal look at small-time crime in the streets of Little Italy New York from Scorsese\'s perspective. What did we think of it fifty years later? Tune in as we discuss the story, the performances, the themes, and scrappy filmmaking, which led to some innovative choices that helped give the film its original identity at the time of its release and more in our review. Thank you, and enjoy!\\n\\nCheck out more on NextBestPicture.com\\nFor more about Regal Unlimited -\\xa0https://regmovies.onelink.me/4207629222/937isfrg\\nNew subscribers can use code REGALNBP23 for 10% off of Regal Unlimited for the first 3 months\\n\\nPlease subscribe on...\\nSoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcast\\nApple Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2\\nSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jT\\nYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWA7KiotcWmHiYYy6wJqwOw\\nAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
