Legendary Director Marty Scorsese Schooled on Slang by Daughter on TikTok

On November 6th, 2025, acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese appeared in a TikTok video with his daughter Francesca, where the two played a game testing the director's knowledge of his own filmography. In the video, Francesca read Scorsese a series of one-line Letterboxd reviews for his movies, and he had to correctly identify which film each quip was referring to.

Scorsese impressed by correctly naming 6 out of the 7 movies, including "Cape Fear," "Killers of the Flower Moon," and "The Departed." However, he struggled with one review that referenced the Pixar film "Ratatouille," incorrectly guessing it was about his classic "Goodfellas." Francesca also caught her father off guard with a review that mentioned "pro-lobotomy propaganda," to which Scorsese disagreed, saying the viewer needed to see the full film to understand the context.
