It is always, always a big episode when a new Martin Scorsese movie comes out. We dig deep on the director's 30th feature, "Killers of the Flower Moon," out in theaters. Then we talk about the Errol Morris documentary on John LeCarre, "The Pigeon Tunnel." And a reboot! We look back on Jim Sheridan's 2002 drama "In America."

But we go longest, as you might suspect, on the Scorsese movie..
