THIS is entertainment, folks! We're taking a swing at Martin Scorsese's masterful 1980 boxing biopic RAGING BULL (from a script by Paul Schrader) with film critic and Heavyweight Champion of the Podcast, Bilge Ebiri!!! Join us for a wonderful conversation about Scorsese's wild years, ROCKY, memory, the word "doggerel," and more.

Plus, Bilge tells us about something he did that may change the podcast forever. Like, for real.
