## Resource

Episode 125 - Pack your bags, and make sure to pack some bootlegged whiskey, because we are headed to prohibition times Chicago to wrap up DePalma month. This week we watch and discuss The Untouchables (1987) which is one of DePalma's more well know films, stars Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert DeNiro. Based on the story of Elliot Ness vs Al Capone and the the war on illegal booze in the 20's, Deniro once again tackles the ganster subgenre. Speaking of which, we dive into Carlito's Way as the supplemental. Not only that, Brian reveals next month's theme. So tune in soon for Gene Gone Wilder month! and email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com
