Welcome to part two of our discussion of Goodfellas. We first go over some fantastic listener feedback and re-casting choices, and reveal which of our re-casting choices were the big winner. Then we go on to talk about how to respect and maintain the ‘big ass movie’ status of the original, how the movie compared to the book,  the fact that the movie meanders, but in a focused way, the effective use of voiceover and music choices in the original, and finally talk through Scorsese’s New York focused gangster film history.
