By Skye Wingfield in Books Directors Series Film ‘89 Podcast Retrospectives March 27, 2023

On Episode 95 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Skye and returning guest host Leighton Winstone discuss a film from a director whose films have already been covered several times on Film ‘89 and one who without doubt would be on the Mt. Rushmore of favourite directors for all three of them, Martin Scorsese. This episode sees the maturity of a 10 year investment, or in other words, it’s coming up on the 10th anniversary of Scorsese’s adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s book, The Wolf of Wall Street. By far one of Scorsese’s most controversial films, the legendary director re-teamed with Leonardo DiCaprio alongside a superlative supporting cast including Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau, Joanna Lumley and an Oscar nominated Jonah Hill. The guys discuss the career of the film’s lead, DiCaprio and where The Wolf of Wall Street sits in their own personal lists of favourite Martin Scorsese films.
