Listen "Goodfellas"
Episode Synopsis
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a podcast host. Being a podcast host to me was better than being the president of the United States!
Mynty Cicero returns to the podcast to discuss Goodfellas and, more broadly, the legacy of organized crime, the mafia, Martin Scorcese and his gangster movies. We go over the “film bro” persona that has been much discussed over the last 20 years and what role Scorcese and Goodfellas played in this. Bree tries to convince Mynt that Ray Liotta is a good actor. Is it OK for non-Italians to play Italians? How about all the Jewish stuff in this movie? Also, is Christopher Nolan the brutalism of directors?
