The other day I gayly listened to the ct episode where Nick brings up the intro monologue in The Departed where Jack Nicholson N blasts, and Nick makes fun of Martin Scorcese for wanting to work in an N bomb even though the movie is about Boston Irish and has zero black people. But I was thinking, maybe the real story is that they did 175 takes and that was the cleanest one they could get out of Jack Nicholson. Like it's 3am, everyone's exhausted, Jack's still doing takes but losing his fastball a bit due to sheer exhaustion and manages to get through a take with just one single N word, and Scorceses's like ok good enough I think I can work with that, call it a night everybody. I'm gay.
