The Departed (w/ Heather Alarcón Higginbotham and Courtney Sevener)
Hey! On this episode I was joined by Heather Alarcón Higginbotham and Courtney Sevener to recreate the movie The Departed. Our version, just like the Scorsese classic, will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. We may have taken a few liberties with some of the characters and added a few new ones (Vincent Price makes an appearance) but I think you will agree, it came out better than the original. Enjoy!
