Mystic River

Episode 16,   Oct 16, 2023, 02:00 AM

Clint Eastwood gathers a mightily impressive cast for this slog of a crime drama – Sean Penn supplies the ham, Tim Robbins the cheese, and Kevin Bacon, oddly, brings the bread.

Joe & Adam dive head first into the 2003 adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel Mystic River and ponder the journeyman status of Eastwood, not before they get waylaid by an apology to Bradley Cooper, and hugely sidetracked by a thick slice of Oscar chat.
