Heat: 1 line what-if ×1

  1. what-if (what-if): Heat → Gangs of New York. Listener's 10-percent-better idea: Heat without the Portman storyline or with Vincent doing coke, Gangs of New York with Cameron Diaz recast.
    “how heat would be 10% better if they either dropped the Portman storyline, or had Vincent doing coke, or gangs of New York, if Cameron Diaz was recast.”

Megalopolis: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (passion-project warning): Gangs of New York → Megalopolis. Decades-long passion projects rarely pan out; Megalopolis is the cautionary example.
    “Has anyone been like, yeah, that was it. nailed that. Megalopolis.”
    The Big Picture · The 25 Best Movies of the Century: No. 11 - 'The Wolf of Wall Street’ · 0:26:47 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

One Battle After Another: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (passion-project parallel): Gangs of New York → One Battle After Another. PTA has been trying to get One Battle off the ground for ten years as Scorsese did with Gangs for decades.
    “I mean, PCA has been trying to get one battle off the ground for 10 years.”

The Color of Money: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (blank check scale): The Color of Money → Gangs of New York. Gangs of New York is Scorsese's true blank check, a nonfiction book about Bowery gangsters he wanted $100 million for.
    “But that movie was so risky and he had tried to do it for so long, like his blank check is gangs of New York.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Color of Money with Chris Ryan · 0:18:50 · unknown (0.35 sure it was them)

The Departed: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (audience anticipation): The Departed → Gangs of New York. Simmons felt the same big-names anticipation for Gangs of New York as for The Departed.
    “the other time I remember feeling it was gangs, gangs of New York in 2002”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Departed’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:02:01 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

The Last Temptation of Christ: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (money): The Last Temptation of Christ → Gangs of New York. Last Temptation put Scorsese in debt until Cape Fear; Gangs put him back and The Departed got him out.
    “He says the movie put him in debt and like he didn't come out of it until he made Cape Fear.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Last Temptation of Christ with Jamelle Bouie · 1:59:52 · David Sims (0.40 sure it was them)

The Wolf of Wall Street: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (career origin): The Wolf of Wall Street → Gangs of New York. Leo arrived in Scorsese's world at Gangs of New York, which led to The Departed, Shutter Island and better Leo roles.
    “if he doesn't make it, then you don't get the departed, you know, and you don't get Shutter Island and you don't get all these much more interesting Leo performances.”
