A minisode covering a host of movie and TV-related topics: the Swedish film Border, Black Panther's questionable quality, True Detective Season 3 is boring but The Americans is great, the end of HBO's prestige period, and Isaac's feverish consumption of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America.
This movie went through SEVERAL iterations in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a time series, which began with Once Upon a time in the West (1968), then continued with Duck You Sucker! (Once upon a time the Revolution) and this movie, Once Upon a Time in America, being the magnum opus of the series. Join us as we delve into the various incarnations of the movie, how deeply the studios cut the movie, until we finally reached the vision Leone intended. Come join us for...Once Upon a Time in America!!!
