EP. 113 Pistols at Dawn

from Better Than Average Hosted by Chris and Jay

This week on Better Than Average, we’re diving into the gritty brilliance of The Departed—Scorsese’s crime epic packed with tension, double-crosses, and some unforgettable performances. From there, we head down a rabbit hole into the world of dueling culture—how honor, pride, and pistols preserved honourable discourse amongst the politicians of 1800s America. Finally, we unpack a curious pattern in Jay’s recent movie recommendations… and let’s just say, it gets weird. Be sure to check this one out, it’s not perfect, but it is Better Than Average.
