About this episode

The hosts discuss the 1993 film 'Carlito's Way', analyzing its characters, performances, and comparing it to other films.

Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down the 1993 crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller, Luis Guzman and John Leguizamo. We broke down Carlito's biggest mistakes, whether Carlito is a window or an aisle guy, how Carlito compares to Spider-Man, how good each of our intuition is, how Sean Penn played an absolute monster, whether Scarface or Carlito's Way was the better De Palma x Pacino film, whether actors should play different ethnicities and so much more!!!
