This week, we Flam Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull. This upsetting movie is loved by so many critics. Roger Ebert liked it, the Academy Awards folks threw two trophies at it, and Spielberg described it as “a masterpiece.” But is it even worth watching? Listen to the real heroes to find out.

Outstanding questions (locally sourced):

* Is this episode about Taxi Driver or about Raging Bull?

* Why can’t Lamotta’s wife stop cheating?  

* “‘The black and white of Raging Bull isn't just black and white - it's silver and midnight and smoke and sweat.’ - David Thomson​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​. Seriously?
