Goodfellas

The ReconCinemation team unites to begin their 5th season!

With the tragic loss of the great Ray Liotta, the team felt it was only fitting to look back and not only Ray's greatest role, but arguably his greatest film: the iconic GOODFELLAS! Jon, David & Brent reflect on Ray's incredible career & his journey into Goodfellas, Martin Scorcese's evolution through the 1980s, Robert DeNiro's status in 1990, the return of Joe Pesci & more! Plus, a deep critical analysis of its  lasting power, the beautiful visual imagery of the film, echoes of the French New Wave, why this isn't just a "gangster film", comparisons with The Godfather & The Sopranos, early memories, how it has aged today & so much more!

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a podcaster... it's GOODFELLAS!
