I Heard You Paint Houses - A Miniseries Edit of "The Irishman"

Tagline: Time changes nothing.

Synopsis: A straightforward edit that does no more than cut up The Irishman at key places, transforming it into a 4-part miniseries.

Intention: There's no denying that The Irishman is a long film. While I'm of the opinion that watching it all in one sitting is the ideal viewing experience, it's easy to recognize that not everyone has the time, or attention span, to do that. Cutting The Irishman into a well-timed, four-part miniseries, however, allows for the film to be enjoyed in perhaps the second most optimal method. My edit, I Heard You Paint Houses, aims to do just that.

Changelog (spoilers):
Disclaimer: This is a very uncreative endeavor. All I did was find the places to cut beginnings/endings, and do some minor technical stuff to make it 'flow'.

Thanks to shows like The Mandalorian, a variable episode length is now something we have to work with!

Special Thanks: @Dunerfors on Twitter, who formalized the concept last year, and provided timestamps for an 'impromptu cut'.

Please PM me if you'd like a link. And, since The Irishman is only available on the 'boutique' Criterion, please attach any proof of purchase/ownership to ensure OTS rules are enforced.

So it appears I deleted this edit from all my drives and devices... if anyone still has it on their end, could you please drop me a line? Thank you!

Edit: Resolved! Thanks to @ThomsThinema for helping me out with recovering these (i.e. re-uploading all the files for me from his hard drive). Incredible help.

Anyone who wants the edit can of course now send me a message for it, and I will be able to provide a link this time...
