With Danny “Bagadonuts” Nagan, a real-life good fella and cohost of the Everything We Learned podcast!

I mean, it’s GOODFELLAS. If you haven’t seen it, you kinda already have. But you should absolutely still see it (take it from Jason).

Despite his status as an Irish-Italian-American, Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) is a fish IN water among the most powerful mafia family of Brooklyn. From middle school, Henry fast ingratiates himself with aspiring made man Tommy (Joe Pesci), fellow mixed-blood gangster Jimmy (Robert De Niro), and local capo Paulie (Paul Sorvino), eventually earning enough clout to bring Karen (Lorraine Bracco), a Jewish woman with a thing for bad goys, into the “family” as his wife. As he ascends the linguine ladder, though, Henry finds himself increasingly exposed: to the diminishing returns of mafia life; to the self-serving ambitions of his brothers in crime; and before the waning influence of Italian organized crime with the decline of labor power in the 1980s.

Inside the “pit of vipers mob movie” structure is a tale of self-preservation at the expense of decency, bonds broken as quickly and as explosively as they were forged, and the ever-churning machine of capital that has robbed, will rob, is robbing the modern American of their basic dignity. My dignity. Your dignity.
