Bestest Picture

The Departed (2007) vs. The French Connection (1972)


Listen Later

It’s been another little while, but Bestest Picture is back AGAIN, baby! And this episode gets into some classic conflicts: We’ve got Cops pitted against Crime, Boston versus New York, Quick Cut editing and Slick Choreography versus Slow Burn Cinema and Standing in the Snow on a Street Corner All Night Watching a Hotel Front Door. 

Oh... there’s also a car chasing a train. 

Yup, Bestest Picture is taking it to the mean streets for two Best Picture-Winning crime dramas: THE DEPARTED from 2007 and THE FRENCH CONNECTION from 1972. 

Join Sam and Darren as they talk it all through to arrive at a decision about which of these Best Pictures is today’s “Bestest.”
