For those who don’t know, when Sheeran tells Hoffa he “Also does his own carpentry” after Hoffa says “I heard you paint houses?”. That means he disposes of the bodies himself. In case anyone was curious, that’s what that means. Edit: Gun prices in the 60s & 70s weren’t as expensive as they are today, but they were still a decent price for any normal blue collar working man. For these guys, you have to remember how much money they were making between their regular job & money made not so legally. For instance, Frank, he was making so much as a Local Teamsters Union Leader/President (whatever his position was), plus whatever he makes doing hits. The amount of money he was paid for each hit, take out the money to replace the firearm used, still going to have 90-98% of what you were paid. That’s depending on the amount paid & amount spent on whatever firearm you used. Plus, being that you’re in that life, there was probably a wiseguy who sold new & used firearms cheaper than store price. Hope that helps answer the question you asked about firearms and ho2 much they’d be spending on them.
You were COMPLETELY correct not to see this movie until you had seen all the many movies of these guys you've been doing on this channel! What a loooong journey it's been! Lots of long - but great! - mob movies with these great actors chewing up the scenery. And with all the research you did? You will be the ONLY reactor to get some of this stuff. Ok, settling in now to watch!!!
Even though some people have found The Irishman boring, this movie is a masterpiece, which featured a formidable cast + Joe Pesci's return. Thank you for uploading this video.
I really feel that it was a cinematic sin not to release this in cinemas nation wide. They ended up I'm just CA and NY and a Netflix release that Thanksgiving. It's such a sin this was a masterpiece
tbf back in the day local police was known to turn a blind eye to a lot of mafia activities, and that probably included ignoring a murder weapon hotspot
Holy smokes, your intro is INCREDIBLE. The viewer immediately relaxes because they can see how much you already bring to the table, as far as mob knowledge./ Holy moly, Shelby, I'm getting CHILLS watching you watch this, you are actually making me like this movie even more!!!! You have so much of this history at your command, you know more than 90% of people who watch this film, plus you've gone through this whole journey with all the artists involved, there is NOTHING you are missing in this movie. The only thing to mention is that Scorsese started out with Keitel! And De Niro's first movie with Scorsese is "Mean Streets"....starring Harvey Keitel! (he's also in "Taxi Driver" and three other Scorsese films, also worked with De Niro on at least one other movie). So THEY have a long history together, as well! / Oh my GOSH, you are a FANTASTIC reactor, holy moly. What a difference it makes when the reactor knows their stuff. You are TEACHING us, as we revisit this movie! I've seen it twice. And it's a joy to revisit it with you. Looking forward to part 2.
This film is so rich and full of feeling. The de-aging thing was Scorsese's only questionable decision; it didn't work good enough to be worthy of the film, especially when De Niro is having to be physical...he moves like his real age.
Hoffa’s reaction to JFK being assassinated was meant to imply he at the very least knew it was happening, possibly was involved in it, he didn’t seem surprised or shocked at all, just went to the TV to make sure the job was done, then when he heard he was dead he just went back to eating
Russ gave precise instructions for the the job either the guy with the ears. But for later in the movie when Russ needs him to kill Jimmy, Frank has to ask numerous questions to even understand what he needs to do.
Still not many reactions to this movie. The “mob journey” was fun ending with this! Very fun and glad I found your channel :) Edit: I’m sure it’s been mentioned but w all your knowledge and mafia know-how you’d should react to Boardwalk empire or sopranos!
Rachell Maddow did excellent programs on both Nixon and Agnew. On the Watergate tapes Nixon is told that it would take 1 million dollars to silence the Watergate burglars. Nixon responded: "We could get that."
I love how you can see they move like 80 year old even when they are young, but i wouldnt want it any other way. I love this movie it hits where it needs to. I would kill for more de niro etc movies. Dont even have to be mafia i just want these legends.
They almost had Ray Liotta in this movie , Ray wanted to be on this movie so bad . He was actually supposed to play the part of Mark Walberg in The Departed. RIP Ray Liotta 😢 still shocked 😲
I believe I may have once seen the foot of the guy who really killed Hoffa back in the winter of '75. I was with a friend who was shopping for a new radio for his van and we were in a parking lot of a strip mall on Woodward Ave. in Pontiac MI, when i noticed a white Caddy way in the back of the lot covered in snow even though it hadn't snowed in a week. So it was obviously abandoned. We left and came back a few hours later to get the radio he saw at that store but this time the car was surrounded by cops and they were pulling a body out of the trunk. And I later found out the dead guy was some well known mafia hitman out of NYC. So given how close in time this was to the Hoffa disappearance and the location of the parking lot, which was only a few miles from the restaurant where Hoffa was last seen, I've always wondered whether this was the guy who hit Hoffa and that maybe he was later hit by the mob to separate them from the killing. As for the movie, I think the actors were way, way, way too old for their parts and the technique they employed to try to make them look the appropriate age was not in the least bit convincing. It was in fact so bad and so distracting for me i found it impossible to get into the movie. The critics at the time however never mentioned this. And I suspect they were all just scared of what might happen to their careers if they trashed a demigod like Scorcese, so they praised the movie instead. It is the only explanation I can conceive of to explain the high rating this movie got from them and the Academy. It's all politics.
Props to you for being the first TH-cam film reactor to actually watch this!!! Even bigger props for knowing the history behind what's happening. Great commentary all around. :)
Thank you for reacting to this! I always watch this while eating a lobster roll and drinking a mojito for St. Patrick's Day or the anniversary of this movie itself. Definitely a modern gem and you have to watch it more than once to fully digest the story. Great flick. Much love from MD.
You should really take a look at the Oliver Stone epic "JFK". From the comments you've made here I think you would really enjoy it. That movie had a huge impact on folks of my generation who remember vividly the day Kennedy got shot, because it was the first time the general public got to see the Zapruder film of the assassination. For over 20 years they had withheld it from the public only showing still photos of it claiming it was too grisly or that they didn't want to upset Jackie. But in finally seeing it in Stone's movie and realizing for the first time that Kennedy was very obviously killed from the front and not the back as the government had claimed it really had a chilling eye-opening effect to know that we'd been lied to all that time. And we are still being lied to. It's only gotten worse. So it is even more topical today I think than when it was released. And I would love to see the reaction of someone of your generation to see if it has anywhere near the effect. And it stars a Joe Pesci, too. A young Joe Pesci, not one who's been subjected to Scorcese's horrid de-aging process.
Great movie. The only weak scene was when Deniro beats up the store clerk while his daughter looks on (terrible choreography). Everything else was masterful.
I don't understand the hate for the CGI, maybe its because I know how much work it takes from studying in my free time, but it looks great! its not perfect but for de-aging a person? its amazing.
So I've been becoming a fan of your channel love your reactions and energy about the videos you do. So, do you do just mob movies (which I love btw) and a little bit of horror? If you're open for suggestions I would love to give some.
There's an inside joke here in the scene where Russ sends Frank to drive a truck down to Baltimore to run guns to the anti-Castro Cubans in Florida. Russ tells Frank to meet a weird-looking guy named David Ferrie. Ferrie was a memorable character in the web of various JFK assassination conspiracy theories, a Civil Air Patrol leader who trained Lee Harvey Oswald as a teenager and who became a dedicated anti-Communist who associated with the CIA, its Cuban militia the FRD, and various members of organized crime. Allegedly. He's a major character in the 1991 Oliver Stone film JFK, dealing with the investigation into the assassination, and in that movie he's played by...Joe Pesci.
ALTHOUGH THE NEW PARAMOUNT SERIES "THE OFFER" DEPICTS JOE COLUMBO AS THE MOB BOSS THAT GAVE THE OKAY TO THE GODFATHER SCRIPT BUT THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK SAYS THAT RUSSELL BUFFALINO WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE WHO MADE THE FINAL DECISION!!
Well then we fair I get Jimmy Hoffa is considered it is considered rather rude to be late for something it is look what most Americans yeah in Europe it's a very big deal I'm just saying I get why Jimmy Hoffa doesn't like it because well he is considered rude is considered rude to be late for something it is it's considered rather rude to do so and you're also considered a Bad Manners if you do so I'm the same way about people that are you know they're late I've always been I'm always worried about that too
To answer your question about the guns: Most criminals use cheap pieces of crap like a .32 snubbie (or in modern times, stuff like a Sigma) precisely because they can easily be dumped and subsequently re-acquired. Most high end professionals invest money and more importantly time in their piece like competition shooters with their tricked out race guns, or high end private contractors/military/police with guns that are a bit better built than your standard mil-spec beater AR or something. They've already run it through its paces and had to replace sights, barrels, grips, etc from shooting the hell out of those guns. Now, those higher up on the totem pole could afford to arm their personal goons with nicer stuff. But for your standard hitters like Frank? Forget about it. Frank went for common, disposable guns for that exact such purpose. Nothing about his guns is unique, they're all as bland and forgettable in the film as can be (which I personally think is a nice touch). Most films would have a signature gun, but Frank's guns are so often skipped over there's usually not much covered about them other than "it's a gun". Which makes sense given the movie takes place from his perspective and he doesn't value firearms all that much.

I seen another comment saying this, but it is 2024, and you’re still the only person who reacted to this masterpiece of a movie. Goated
Lmao that's insane. Says a lot about people's attention span
FINALLY a reaction to this MASTERPIECE!
haha i can't believe nobody else has posted one yet
@@shelbynnave Neither can I.
same here i scrolled so far down. react to blood in blood out
Have you seen blood in blood out? thats a top 10 movie all time
I'm pretty sure you're literally the first person on here to react to this movie lol
For reaaaaal, I'm so glad someone finally did
lol I know! I searched around TH-cam before making this commentary and i was really surprised to see that I couldn't find any other reactions lol
Ik it’s sucks, like her reaction is good but it’s such an amazing movie, such a shame many people haven’t reacted to this, the gentlemen aswell!
looks like almost the last too
BRO FR like it’s been a couple years since it’s been out and no one has reacted to it yet like bruuuh
Such an awesome movie, DeNiro, Pesci and Pacino in a Scorsese movie??? Fuckin dream come true!!
It is a masterpiece.
For those who don’t know, when Sheeran tells Hoffa he “Also does his own carpentry” after Hoffa says “I heard you paint houses?”. That means he disposes of the bodies himself. In case anyone was curious, that’s what that means.
Edit: Gun prices in the 60s & 70s weren’t as expensive as they are today, but they were still a decent price for any normal blue collar working man. For these guys, you have to remember how much money they were making between their regular job & money made not so legally. For instance, Frank, he was making so much as a Local Teamsters Union Leader/President (whatever his position was), plus whatever he makes doing hits. The amount of money he was paid for each hit, take out the money to replace the firearm used, still going to have 90-98% of what you were paid. That’s depending on the amount paid & amount spent on whatever firearm you used. Plus, being that you’re in that life, there was probably a wiseguy who sold new & used firearms cheaper than store price. Hope that helps answer the question you asked about firearms and ho2 much they’d be spending on them.

Cant wait on Part 2! Great reaction of a great Video!
Thank you!! 😁
I really feel that it was a cinematic sin not to release this in cinemas nation wide. They ended up I'm just CA and NY and a Netflix release that Thanksgiving. It's such a sin this was a masterpiece
I know it would've been awesome to see this in theaters everywhere
Saw it local art house in Nashville.
Was lucky to see it at a local theater too. Not surprising it was a packed showing of different age demographics
De Niro is unbelievable in this movie...if you see the real Frank Sheeran talk you'd see how much of a good actor De Niro is.
i believe it!
tbf back in the day local police was known to turn a blind eye to a lot of mafia activities, and that probably included ignoring a murder weapon hotspot

Scorsese really assembled the holy trinity of gangster movie actors and created this masterpiece
Russ gave precise instructions for the the job either the guy with the ears. But for later in the movie when Russ needs him to kill Jimmy, Frank has to ask numerous questions to even understand what he needs to do.
Finally someone actually has a reaction to this movie
maybe i'll start a trend lol
Just watched this last night/today. So glad there’s at least one reaction because I love to watch reactions after I find a movie I enjoy.
You are too cute! Lovey analysis! This is one of my favorite movies! Imma check out more of your content....be safe out here!
“That was the Jimmy John’s of hits” LOL!
Actually Bobby wasn’t AG during the trial with Hoffa.
He was just a lawyer on the Mcclennon committee
Still not many reactions to this movie. The “mob journey” was fun ending with this! Very fun and glad I found your channel :)
Edit: I’m sure it’s been mentioned but w all your knowledge and mafia know-how you’d should react to Boardwalk empire or sopranos!
Saw this film in the cinemas 3 times so lucky once in Sydney and twice at Avoca. Love it best experiences.
The first youtuber reaction from this movie nice ✌
9:10 I got gas in my mouth ONCE. That's enough.
Rachell Maddow did excellent programs on both Nixon and Agnew.
On the Watergate tapes Nixon is told that it would take 1 million dollars to silence the Watergate burglars. Nixon responded: "We could get that."
Kennedy is the biggest give away with him being Irish.. 🤷♂️🤦♂️

I appreciate that! thx!!
Raging Bull & Once Upon A Time In America are the only two De Niro & Pesci collabs u havn't watched yet & it's they're very first two also
Yay finally The Irishman
Been waiting so long !
Great reaction! Have you consider reacting to the Sopranos the best mob show ever😃
Thank you! And yes I may cover it in the future!
My fav mob movies of all time are
Goodfellas
Casino
Carlitos way
The Irishman
Irishman in my top 4 as well.

There needs to be more movies talking about the New Orleans mob.
Great movie. The only weak scene was when Deniro beats up the store clerk while his daughter looks on (terrible choreography). Everything else was masterful.
Agreed
It is one of my favorite movies. My 2nd favorite Scorsese film, next to Goodfellas. I adore it.
Really great film, instantly became a favorite of mines
Same here. In my top 10 for sure.
You know your shit. Love it! ❤
Oohh! I heard you paint houses!

18:02 well they did applause so it must be true
Maybe the police knew about the spot in the river with all the weapons, but they are way too many to it doesn’t help at all!
There's a story that when Jimmy found out that John F Kennedy died he had jumped on top of the table and started celebrating
Dang..... that's cold lol
I adore this movie!
it's a good one!
Same here.

You're either really smart, or you're pre watching. Great reaction anyways.
Definitely not pre watching lol, I studied the mob for awhile which is why I know a lot about the real life issues portrayed in this film.
I dunno. The de-aging looked weird. Like a video game character or something. Plastic-looking. The tech is improving, but still needs work.
That's fair, I personally wasn't bothered by it but I can see why some people would!
It gets better as the film goes on
It is a minor flaw.
I don't blame the Nave... I had to bail on this one personally.
