So does this mean Boomers are gonna hoard all the jobs, even in death? We need UBI now!

That being said, from what I've read, Pesci has worked very little since the turn of the 21st century. My guess is this didn't meet his standard to break his semi-retirement, and he wasn't wrong, it sounds like.

Isn't Pesci almost entirely a musician these days?

Yeah, I suspect he came out of retirement for THE IRISHMAN because of his towering respect for Martin Scorsese, only to realize he'd been roped into a special effect extravaganza every bit as cynical and calculated as Scorsese accuses Marvel movies of being.

Since Barry Levinson is no Scorsese? 🤷‍♂️

I don't recall the Irishman being "Marvel-y" . .it was just, kind of boring and forgettable. I remember after watching thinking it was OK. But I have zero desire to watch it again, whereas I've seen Goodfellas and Casino probably over 100 times.

I don't know why Alfred E. Dopey showed up in the email version, but I hope he makes a cameo in every single review moving forward. And any politically-themed posts, where he will seem even more appropriate.

Also, I was previously unaware of this Alec Baldwin reality show. And now I will go back to continuing to being unaware of it.
