Happy Wednesday Screenagers! The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking Goodfellas.
Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 40: Goodfellas (1990)
This one is for all of the wiseguys! As far back as we can remember, we always wanted to be gangsters. We enshrine our first Martin Scorsese picture into the Canon this week. Gus Prum (@lilgustaffson on Twitter) joins Raf to talk about the 1990 mobster classic and do some unofficial promo-ing for the Criterion Collection. Gus also talks about his work in nature documentaries, growing up in the NYC tri-state area, and what makes Thelma Schoonmaker the most famous film editor of all time.
