About this episode

***Originally published in December 2022***

Crime World 'boss' Nicola Tallant hosts this special, live edition of The Dingle Whiskey Movie Club from a packed Sugar Club in Dublin. Over the past five weeks our expert panels have rated and reviewed some of the most famous mob movies ever to grace the silver screen - from The Godfather to Goodfellas, to Scarface and Casino, it was an offer we couldn't refuse. Now, before a live audience, the Crime World 'Capos' discuss some of the real-life gangsters that inspired the movies, and why many of the characters have parallels in the modern-day underworld.
