The Brow Month rolls on as we head back to where it all started—Mean Streets, Martin Scorsese’s gritty, raw, and deeply personal dive into the New York underworld. This is Scorsese before the Oscars, before the epics—just restless energy, street-level drama, and a young De Niro already stealing scenes.

We break down the film’s rough-edged charm, the Catholic guilt simmering under the surface, and how Mean Streets planted the seeds for everything from Goodfellas to The Irishman.

It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s pure Scorsese—and the brows are already in full power mode.
