Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other.HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2.

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time. It’s Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster.

Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time. We're talking Scorsese at his absolute PEAK. We dissect The Departed scene by scene with a modern eye. Which character might be secretly gay?

We can't be the only people who has wondered what a modern-day recasting of "Forrest Gump" would look like, right?
