In this episode we discuss Martin Scorsese’s gangster epic, Goodfellas. We talk about why it stands above the rest of the gangster genre, the book Wiseguy and author Nicholas Pileggi, Ray Liotta’s involvement in the film, and the positive critical response upon its release. We also discuss the life and career of EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg, her start in stand-up comedy, many of her iconic roles, and the film Ghost, for which she won her Academy Award.
