KnockBack, Episode 88: Goodfellas
Added 2019-10-17 16:01:01 +0000 UTCThere's nothing quite like a good mob movie, and when it comes to 1990's Goodfellas, there are few better. Based on a authoritative, journalist-written book drawing from historic experiences and events, and played by a series of actors mimicking their real-world counterparts perfectly, Goodfellas is one of the most quotable and beloved films of any kind in the last few decades. DeNiro. Pesci. Liotta. Sorvino. Brocco. These are powerful names in film and television, particularly when it comes to this type of fare. So go home, get your shinebox, and come on back and listen to a two-plus hour long conversation about one of Martin Scorcese's very best flicks.

2019-10-30 23:07:09 +0000 UTCI just made my girlfriend watch Goodfellas for the first time because of this episode, she loved it and couldn't believe it took her this long to see it. We both think that Zac Efron would make a good Henry Hill in a remake. Thanks for the great episode guys :)

2019-10-19 23:20:23 +0000 UTCGreat episode on the greatest crime epic of all time. Also Casino is fucking great and slander will not be permitted lol.

2019-10-19 16:38:41 +0000 UTCI loved the part about "Knowing somebody who knew somebody." I've always wondered how people in Nebraska or whatever think of Mob stuff. It probably just seems like a Hollywood invention. Growing up in the Chicago area, sometimes you'd hear or know things. Not as much as the Northeast probably, but it's been here, going back to the Capone days. (My great grandfather tended bar at a restaurant that Capone sometimes went to called Vogel's.). I was close friends with a guy in high school who was born in Sicily and his family had "old ties." Fascinating stuff, kinda like being at an intersection between these mythical Hollywood figures and where they meet reality. It's kinda neat. (Oh and growing up we always kept the knife in the box too.)

Tyler Bello
2019-10-18 19:10:04 +0000 UTCThis was awesome. Ohhh ... do I have some stories for you. 😉 Remind me about Aunt Lucy during prohibition and my uncles visits. And what I said to granny one night during dinner. 😬 And when Martin Scorcese agrees to dinner with Dagan- I’ll cook. And I’ll be silent. Maybe. 😉❤️

Steve
2019-10-18 01:11:16 +0000 UTCI had just got out of the restroom when the madlib started and was eating noodles and did one of those laughs where you sneeze spit the water and noodles halfway across the room and a few out of your nose. Such a good episode.
Jessica Gutiérrez
2019-10-18 00:51:32 +0000 UTCGuys. I was listening to this on my commute to work and was laughing so hard at the Mad Libs that I was crying (thought i was going to crash from laughing so hard). Thank you for the laugh, haven't had a good one like that in a long time!

2019-10-17 16:18:02 +0000 UTCReferencing the beginning of this episode: do not worry about the length of these episodes, homies. The recent longer episodes have been detailed and awesome.
Caleb Greer
2019-10-17 16:13:07 +0000 UTCI laughed out loud with the opening
Joey Finelli
2019-10-17 16:07:10 +0000 UTCI messed up my sleep schedule Sunday night because I started Goodfellas at midnight and HAD to finish it. I had to get my kid up at 6a and then go to work, but this movie is worth it.
