Scorsese Matches Reviews to Films
One memorable review said, "Would Remy from ‘Ratatouille’ feel at home in ‘Goodfellas’?" to which Martin seemed to agree. Another quip read,
“Chat, do I need therapy for being SO attracted to De Niro in this?”without hesitation, Martin identified the movie as Cape Fear, much to Francesca’s astonishment.
She reacted,
“How did you get that?!”and Martin simply shrugged. Francesca captioned their collaboration, "He taught me cinema, I taught him Letterboxd."
