Oh hello there! Welcome back to BYOB Pod. Time to delve into an absolute monster of a film as we go undercover and take on 'The Departed'.

Two films to give you the scoop on this week before we get into that though! Firstly...A big thank you to Paramount for having us at the premiere of Transformers One! What an incredible experience, and a really fun film as well. Beautiful animation and an absolute throwback - Ben and Jack get stuck into the

Then... the absolute chaos that is 'The Substance'. We really don't know how on earth you explain this other than, get to the cinema to go and watch it. It's an experience...

Right then, the main event. 'The Departed'. It's undeniably in the Ironside Klaxon bracket. Oh the cast? Scorsese, Di Caprio, Nicholson, Wahlberg, Damon. BOSH. Up for discussion: is this the greatest twist ending of all time? What is the message at the heart of the film? And what on earth is that American accent Ray Winstone?! An all timer of a soundtrack and some outrageously good performances to choose from for MVP. 300m at the box office nearly 20 years ago is not too shabby either!

Enjoy the pod... Homework wise... we're looking at a bit of a belter next week.. Jurassic Park! (Da da- Da da - Da da da da da da da)
