This week on Better Than Average, we’re diving into the gritty brilliance of The Departed—Scorsese’s crime epic packed with tension, double-crosses, and some unforgettable performances. From there, we head down a rabbit hole into the world of dueling culture—how honor, pride, and pistols preserved honourable discourse amongst the politicians of 1800s America. Finally, we unpack a curious pattern in Jay’s recent movie recommendations… and let’s just say, it gets weird. Be sure to check this one out, it’s not perfect, but it is Better Than Average.
