For the first time on Our Hero De Niro, we have a special guest—Mike's cousin Ashley! She helps us make sense of the 2022 "thriller" Savage Salvation. Does this film offer any commentary on America's opioid epidemic, or is it just a tax write-off? How does Robert De Niro look with a mustache? And who is director Randall Emmett, anyway? Join us as the three of us try to unravel it all while attempting to salvage what's our sanity.
