Let's Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast

Just a trio of good fellas talking about some ... not very good fellas, but a very, very good movie. Joining us this week is podcast host and friend, Nick Mear, talking about Martin Scorsese masterpiece "Goodfellas." We talk about the film's many great moments, continue to prove that Scorsese is a feminist (yes, really), and the great injustice that it didn't win the Oscar for editing.

Our final stop on the road to Goodfellas is François Truffaut's Jules & Jim. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie it becomes abundantly clear what Martin Scorsese has lifted from it for his own picture, but there's plenty more to dive into besides that. We discuss the chaotic and interesting relationships in this movie and coin a new phrase, "Marty-splaining."

We're on the road to Goodfellas, taking a quick diversion into 1960 heist movie, Ocean's 11. Joining us for this discussion is The Man, The Myth, The Mumford, Harley Mumford from the Fandomentals podcast.
We talk about what makes a perfect heist movie, and why in this rare case, the remake is actually better than the original.

We've got a rare double feature for you this week as we talk about 1951's People Will Talk (starring Cary Grant) and Martin Scorsese's 1990 documentary Made in Milan. It is a curious pairing, but join us as we try and make sense of it, talk about why Cary Grant was born to be in movies, and why you can always rely on Marty to do the absolute most, regardless of the project.

This week, Sarah and MJ are taking to the streets of New York to discuss one third of the anthology film New York Stories (they discuss the other two shorts as well). Marty contributed a short film called Life Lessons to this project, and it's a doozy. They talk about Marty's use of music, his signature style present in even his short works, and the nature of art, creation, and inspiration.
