The Crimes Of Johnny Depp (feat. Murray Pomerance)
Episode 17
Johnny Depp’s acting career may be remembered most for the whimsical and fantastical roles via his Tim Burton partnership, but he’s taken turns as three violent gangsters, as well. That’s where we turn our steely gaze this week. The Whitey Bulger biopic “Black Mass” hit theaters this month, Depp portrayed an elusive John Dillinger in 2009’s “Public Enemies,” and 1997’s “Donnie Brasco” is an underrated mob movie.
Noah and Chance are joined on this week’s podcast by film scholar and writer Murray Pomerance, who wrote the book “Johnny Depp Starts Here.”

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel is a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
Each time out, we select three movies based around a genre and call up guests ranging from submarine captains to Oscar winners. Then, we rate the movies, weighing both technical quality and entertainment.
Noah and Chance are old friends who mostly respect each other’s opinions. Even though Chance is a fool and a traitor. Find their show presented at ThePlaylist.Net and follow them on Twitter for the latest on Noah’s literary agenting and Chance’s work in the Portland arts scene.
