Bloody. Unnerving. Thrilling.
Thirty-plus years after its release, Goodfellas still packs a punch. Or should I say a kick in the head? Martin Scorsese directed the movie. Based on Wiseguy, a book by Nicholas Pileggi about the gangster Henry Hill, Goodfellas stars Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and Lorraine Bracco. The movie is renowned for its tracking shots, a wise-cracking and crazy-violent Joe Pesci, a shocking opening, complex and shifting storytelling and a heady mix of intimidating Italian guys.
In this episode, I interview Glenn Kenny, the author of Made Men: The Story of Goodfellas about what he learned while researching and writing his book. Kenny is a film critic whose work has appeared in the New York Times and RogerEbert.com.
