History Banter Podcast, Episode 10: Gangs of New York (2002)
This week, Brad Folsom and I (Cameron Sinclair) return to our podcasting roots as a duo and review Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York, starring a host of big-name actors, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Cameron Diaz, and more. This film tells a tale of violence, corruption, poverty, electoral politics, nativism, honor, and a little bit of love and betrayal, all set in the Five Points slum of New York City during the Civil War. Too many themes? Maybe. But what about the history? Find out here!
