After rifling through the suggestion box, I've decided to take the enthusiastic advice of my stalwart listener and e-mail correspondent, Glenn, and dedicate an entire series of commentaries to the work of Martin Scorsese. Since an earlier episode of the podcast already tackled a Scorsese film (1986's The Color of Money), we've given ourselves an inadvertent head start. With a filmography spanning several decades, Scorsese has made (in my opinion) four undeniable masterpieces and no fewer than a half-dozen arguable masterpieces. We'll definitely go off the beaten path in this series, as we've done already with The Color of Money, but this episode proceeds right to one of the more predictable entries from the "undeniable masterpiece" pile, 1990's gangster epic Goodfellas. The commentary explores the film's fidelity to the source material (the true-crime book Wiseguy), the ways in which Scorsese and The Sopranos both understood the profound surrealism that must be inherent to life in the mafia, and why that scene in which Ray Liotta talks directly to camera is so satisfying. The track was recorded while viewing the Region 1 DVD of the film, and the sync point is just after the MGM logo has faded to black.
