Charles Brandt, "I Hear You Paint Houses"


Martin Scorcese's next movie is "The Irishman," starring Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, as well as lots of other names you'll recognize (Joe Pesci, Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, Jesse Plemons, Harvey Keitel, and Ray Romano). It will be released on Netflix early in 2018.

It's based on Charles Brandt's book, "I Heard You Paint Houses," about Frank Sheehan, a mafia hitman who was involved in the death of Jimmy Hoffa. On my show, Brandt explained how he got Sheehan to reveal his secrets, whether he was ever afraid of mob reprisals, and what happened to Hoffa's body (spoiler: it's not under Giants Stadium). As you'll hear, Brandt is a helluva storyteller.
