Ep. 31 - Infernal Affairs Of The Departed

Like Mother, Like Son, Like Movies

My mother has a natural interest in going back to the original versions of stories. After she has discovered that they might have been remakes or at least inspired from a previous source, she dives deep into the connections to see the whole evolution of the concepts. Some time ago she discovered that Martin Scorsese adapted his Boston crime thriller The Departed from a 2002 Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs and naturally she could not let it go until we had a podcast about these two movies. Spoilers: We don't give away any of the plot twists, so it is safe to listen even if you have not seen the movies.
