Casino is the perfect sibling piece to Goodfellas. They go together so well.
Agreed. Plus the Irishman is some nice Ice Cream and After Dinner Mints to finish the meal 🙂
Actually, My Blue Heaven is the perfect sibling piece. My opinion.
@@jkhoover never saw it but I've been tempted lol I do love me some Steve Martin.
@@habitsrabbit I can't say it's the greatest movie ever made, but it makes me laugh. Steve Martin and Martin Short are awesome in it, and it is a little more fun if you pretend, that it's a Goodfellas sequel.
So true. Casino must be next.
The mother in the kitchen? Martin Scorsese's real mom.
She was in a bunch of his movies. She'll have fun spotting her if they watch more of Scorsese's stuff. :)
Plus, apparently that scene was mostly improvised.
His father plays the mobster who kills Joe pesci's character
@@eradicateoni7394 No kidding? Ya' learn something new every day.
I didn't know that, thanks I learned something new everyday
Love that you did a throwback to “Bitches leave.”
“ ****! ****! Orbital! Socket! Broken! Shattered!”I know I shouldn’t laugh at a head injury but I kinda did. 🤕
Supposedly, Joe Pesci's character was a thousand times worse in real life.
A lot of people probably were.
And much taller.
@@Theomite Correct, Pesci's physical height and build was much closer to his character in Casino than in Goodfellas.
Considering Joe Pesci is acting in a film and the real person he’s playing actually did bad things, it isn’t a stretch to think who’s worse
Moral of the story: "Don't do cocaine." Yup. That's about it.
I can tell you both from personal experience this is great advice. Cocaine in all its forms is insidious.
@@n0tk0sher I haven't fallen down that particular hole, but I have friends that have. I hate that stuff.
cocaine sucks anyways, molly is much better
"A Bronx Tale" is another good true mob story with De Niro. Amazing soundtrack.
Yeah Chaz Palminteri was great in that.
De Niro directed that as well!
This is a "prequal" to the Steve Martin movie, "My Blue Heaven"
lol
exactly lol ,
Dude. Lol
Super funny 😄😄😄😄
6:02 I once helped reconstruct a guy's orbital socket with tiny little titanium plates and screws after it was shattered in a bar fight when he got hit in the face with a pool cue. Also had to remove his eye because it was ruptured like a water balloon and use a bone graft from the crest of his hip to give him a new cheekbone.
On to more positive matters, I have to say that Emily looks gorgeous today, and it's good to see Matthew looking so chipper after his disc injury. Hope you're doing great big guy.
There are a few react channels where one person hasn’t seen the film and the other person has.
I got to say, you are stone man. You give her absolutely nothing to work with LOL. You don’t even look over at her to see if she’s enjoying a moment that you like or think is a big moment. Bravo!
Btw, I fully intend this as a compliment 😊
Fun fact: The mom in the movie is actually Martin Scorcese's mom. Awesome reaction! Thank you for sharing.
I remember the real Henry Hill used to call and go in to the Howard Stern show a lot and whenever he did some other mob guy that knew him from the old days would call the show and threaten him. And this was years after all that business happened 😆
They were pretty empty threats. I think the guy just wanted to hurl abuse at him but if they really wanted to kill him they had every opportunity to do it, he was a pretty easy guy to find. They were pretty serious about killing him for a few years after he ratted but after a while they just gave up, everyone he got in trouble were dead or back out or never getting out and nobody left really cared enough to bother to hit him. Mikey Franzese was even in prison with Henry and their was an active contract on him for any mob member to kill him on sight but Mikey didn't care enough to do it, he actually made friend with Henry instead.
@@JosieSchuller The guy who threatened Henry was almost certainly not part of the mob. Like Henry said in Goodfellas, "if they were wiseguys, I wouldn't have heard a thing." Real mobsters don't call into Howard Stern to threaten people. They would have just whacked him as he was walking out the studio if they really wanted to.
@@lucydog3376 Interesting, thanks for the info. 👍
@@Abcdefg-tf7cu Yeah, you’re right. It made for good radio though 😄
"Babish made this." OK, I LOL'd at that. Actually I think that prison sauce recipe is how I discovered his show.
"I thought he was Cool." Well, he's real cool, might say Cold; even frozen.
Dammit, I knew I liked y'all. I was a chef for 30 years. Everywhere from my hometown here in northwest Pennsylvania, to Nashville, TN. Every time I see that scene of them walking through that kitchen I yell, "Get off my hotline!" LOL
My favorite part was when the thunder happened and your cat went to Matthew “Dad, I’m scared” 😭
The comedian at 5:13 is the legendary Henny Youngman. He was the master of the one liner. "Take my wife - please" is his best known joke.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.
‘My Blue Heaven’ with Steve Martin is even funnier than this one 🤣
“Our future home” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gorgeous!
I couldn't but my finger on it until just now, Emily reminds me of Alex Borstein
I completely agree!!!
I was gonna say Rosanne
Thank you for another great reaction of another great film.
Emily, I love your reactions especially when it's a comedy. Seeing Matthew desperately trying to keep a straight face when a funny part is coming up is priceless.
This movie is a masterpiece. Off topic, Emily's hair looks amazing. So shiny. Much dazzle.
Cool shirt. Makes me nostalgic for Adult Swim
That’s an incredible voice you have. I’m just 50 seconds in and I’m already awestruck.
"Wait, I thought he was cool?" - Emily
Me looking at guy in the freezer...he's cool alright!
Her hair looks so beautiful! Wow! The color and shine.
I love this movie.
Since Emily's partial to comedy, you gotta follow it up with "My Blue Heaven".
yes, this.
On of Scorceses best films. Another great reaction video. Some trivia for you guys. Joe Pescis mom is played by Martin Scorceses mom, who also made all the authentic italian dishes for the movie. The voice on the phone telling them that Tommy got whacked was Scorceses dad. And the DEA agent convincing the Hills to go into witness protection was the actual DEA agent that arrested Henry Hill and talked him into witness protection.
Fun fact, Tommy's mom is played by Martin Scorsese's actual mother, and I believe that actually is a painting she created.
I agree with two things posted already: "My Blue Heaven" would be great to do; and Em's hair looks fantastic!
"Spider"(Michael Imperioli) also went on to play a pivotal role in "The Sopranos."
Fun Fact#1 The dinner scene with Tommy's mom was all improvised. And the mother was played by Martin Scorsese's mother. Not given a script she made her own dialogue
Fun Fact #2 In the Prison scene, Vinnie who makes the sauce is also Martin Scorsese's father.
Fun Fact#3 according to former mobsters they said that Goodfellas is 90% more accurate than the Godfather.
Fun Fact #4 half of the cast of Goodfellas were part of the Sopranos series and the GTA series. Frank Vincent plays Vito Leotardo in the Sopranos and Salvatore Leone in GTA. Ray Liotta plays Tommy Vercetti in Vice City.
I was just about to shut down things and go to bed, but had to check in case you two posted.
YES!!!!
Now, on with the show!
Nice haircut, Emily. ;)
My Blue Heaven with Steve Martin essentially continues this story. Sort of.
Yup. Kinda.
You just gotta watch "My Blue Heaven"
Interestingly, the reason that drug dealing was frowned upon really had nothing to do with the drugs, it was because the resulting sentences were so heavy, the odds of someone cutting a deal with investigators to get out earlier was exponentially higher.
The Steve Martin comedy My Blue Heaven is technically the unoffical sequel to Good Fellas, because Martin's character is the based on the same book, and he's playing the same character as Ray Liotta.
Wouldn’t it be that Goodfellas is a prequel to Vinnie / Henry’s story since Blue Heaven came out first?
Prison for a mobster was like an involuntary vacation. Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia was described as one of the most hellish prisons in the U.S. (and inspired the horror game The Suffering). When Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion he was sentenced there, but his room was dolled up to the nines. It had furniture, rugs, and a fancy radio. Regular cells had nothing but a bed, four concrete walls and a little hole in the ceiling for light.
Edit: I'd recommend the film Find Me Guilty, with Vin Diesel
I love that scene with Tommy's mom. She was so sweet :)
Mrs Scorsese herself!!
Another great crime drama film to check out that features both Ray liotta & Robert DeNiro, along with Sylvester Stallone, Kathy Moriarty, Robert Patrick, Annabella Sciorra, Michael Rapaport, Janeane Garofalo, Noah Emmerich and Harvey Keitel is the 1997 film called COP LAND...(directed by James Mangold - the director of Logan, The Wolverine, Walk The Line, Girl Interrupted, Ford v Ferrari and the upcoming Indiana Jones 5 movie)....I recommend watching the director's cut instead of the theatrical version of COP LAND, it is slightly longer and has several extra character moments which were cut out of the theatrical version due to making the film run a little shorter. The director's cut is a much better improvement over the great theatrical version. The director's cut takes a great film and makes it even greater.
Y'all would be pleasantly surprised by that film. It is very underrated (and it is also one of my most personal faves)....
I caught that subtle Robocop reference! Nicely done Emily.
There is a universal truth to what you said about the Spider situation. The only way to handle somebody like Tommy is to not be around them because no matter what you do or say or don't do or say you will always be wrong.
I love this movie, it's in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
First time I saw it I also came away kind of in shock. I didn't know if I liked it or not. But every time I rewatch it I keep liking it more. Its rewatch value is 100%.
My favorite scene is the Copacabana scene, walking in the back, through the kitchen, into the main floor all in one take. Beautiful scene!
Also love the introduction of all the guys with their nicknames scene and the "am I a clown to amuse you?" scene that followed.
Also the prison dinner scene.
I just love this whole damn movie!
On a different subject, Sunday night someone set off fireworks what felt like right in front of my house. They were BIG fireworks too, the kind you see in a show.
My poor dog was still shivering and nervous a couple hours later. She's all good now though.
Best Regards!!!
RIP Ray Liotta. Will always be one of the best....dammit
YAY!!! I’m so glad you are back and reacting to this treasure!!! I hope Matthew is feeling better.🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Is he alive? Geez, you don't watch until the end? They tell you what happened to each of them (to the time the film was made). The reason this is a classic is BECAUSE it was real. It shows how seducing the whole idea of being in a gangster "family" to a kid in an unhappy home. Then it shows how gradually over the years he begins to see just how warped that seductive life is.
It's a pretty reasonable question considering the movie is 31 years old and the epilogue is pretty outdated now that Henry's dead.
There's is a sideways sequel to "Goodfellas". "My Blue Heaven", starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis, is based on the life of Henry Hill, the same man who was the basis of "Goodfellas", after he went into witness protection program. The films' respective writers, Nicholas Pileggi and Nora Ephron, are husband and wife.
Nora passed away in 2012. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Ephron
Hey, guys! Thanks for the shoutout. Love ur channel!
The woman playing Tommy's Mom is actually Martin Scorsese's Mother!
Fun fact : The lady that play Tommy's mom is actualy Martin Scorsese's mother
This is a classic! Movies such as Boogie Nights, Black mass, and the Departed always come to mind next to Goodfellas.
Just watched Black Mass....excellent shots in that movie.
14:30 When you guys move into the new place let me know. I’ll get you a bottle of Cutty Sark as a housewarming gift.
Later he got kicked out of witness protection, for selling drugs, and was a regular for a while in the Howard Stern Show
@26:30 And we have a new word added to the English lexicon. Murdelated.
1. That's how you start a gangster movie!
2. RIP Ray!
Hill died of complications related to heart disease in a Los Angeles hospital, on June 12, 2012, after a long battle with his illness, a day after his 69th birthday.
The Steve Martin comedy, My Blue Heaven, was very loosely based on Henry Hill after he entered the witnesses protection program.
The person who told Henry about the witness protection deal was the real cop who did it in real life I think. Great movie, Casino n a Bronx Tale are also really good
I remember when Henry would call in to the Howard Stern Show and people would call in and call him a rat. 😆
Not only is it based on a true story, but the attorney at the end is playing himself. Also, they were so worried that if the real Henry Hill didnt like the movie, he was going to kill all of them
Moral of the story: don't sell cocaine and cocaine accessories.
As it says at the end of the “Wiseguys” (the book this was based on), Henry Hill proved himself the ultimate wiseguy.
That is to say: he was capable of turning on everyone he had ever been friends/partners with to save himself, taking up and living a (relatively) normal and safe life, and managed to rob their associates of the chance of whacking him in revenge.
you two are now one of my all-time favorite couples, and I come here to sometimes get away from my day. thank you both so much.
Fun Fact -- the FBI's Witness Protection guy at the end (20:50) was the actual agent they dealt with. The words he's saying to Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco are the words he said to Henry and Karen. Not an actor.
She won't like it, but Taxi Driver is a film that should be seen.
In real life, the Tommy character (who was actually quite tall in reality) allegedly tried to rape Karen, and Karen was having an affair with Paulie and told him, and Paulie sold Tommy out to the other mobsters (Batts belonged to a different mob family than Paulie).
The Lufthansa heist was in the news a few years ago as it was alleged that a mob boss was involved and that was part of the reason the money wasn't fairly split, but there wasn't enough evidence.
Jimmy was even more of an asshole in real life- the stories of him include chopping up his wife's annoying ex with an axe, and locking children in refrigerators when shaking down their parents.
Despite this omissions, Henry Hill said that the movie was "90-95% accurate" and true to what happened- although, he isn't the most reliable narrator (eg. he implies he never personally killed anyone in the movie, but he is actually suspected of killing two or three people in real life).
Sociopaths and psychopaths are different. Sociopaths are usually the product of a bad upbringing (Socio-) and are more emotional and volatile; psychopaths are usually born (Psycho-) and are more cold and calculating. Tommy and Jimmy actually represent a good example of the typical differences (there are other definitions of both terms, but those are the original).
Pesci won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this movie- he also gave one of the shortest acceptance speeches in Academy history ("This is a great privilege; thank you") because he honestly didn't believe he was going to win and hadn't prepared anything.
“Now you’re going to dig the hole. I got no fucking lime!” Classic!!
The reason Emily can’t be a gangster:
“I like spaghetti, but… y’know… not enough to whack a guy.“
Everytime she said "Ooof" or "Oh boy", I was saying "Oh yeah"
The cute little old lady playing Tommy's mother was Martin Scorsese's mother Catherine and the two little girls with Karen on the prison visit to see Henry were Lorraine Bracco's real daughters. One of them is Stella Keitel (Harvey Keitel being her father). Catherine Scorsese also appears in Scorsese's "Casino" and in "The Godfather Part III".
The theory about tommys death is that it was john gotti himself and his team (idk if he teamed up with sammy the bull yet but sammy and gotti were the masterminds behind the castellano hit) because he was good friends with batts, at least thats what michael franzese said
I think the structure of the movie is interesting. As a kid he 'always wanted to be a gangster'. The next part of the movie shows us why, he's living an exciting and lucrative life. The foundation of it all, the desire for money and power, corrupts things. We see this in the last part of the movie as he ignores Paulie's instructions and gets deep into drug dealing. That triggers his downfall. And the icing on the cake is he rats out his supposed 'friends'. These same friends would have killed him without a second thought if they could have, and he rats them out just as easily. His kid's eye perspective on what it meant to be gangster was just as clueless as you'd expect a kid's understanding of it to be. In the end he winds up a 'schnook' basically meaning he realizes somehow, someway despite all he did to avoid it, he's become his dad.
I feel like Maury sometimes to you guys,
"Give me my videos. I'm fine. Give me my videos. I want my videos!"
One of my favorites. Gotta from HBO and Mobsters with Christian Slater are good mob movies too.
Matthew, if you’ve seen them, I would love to see Emily’s reaction to Perfume and Predestination.
Interesting film fact....Pesci's mom in the movie who cooks for them is Scorseses mother...he puts her in lots of his films
I would love to see you guys watch Scorsese's version of Cape Fear (1991).
Great way to remake a movie.
@@jjkcharlie I didn't like it and I love almost all of Deniro's movies. I just thought he overacted the part. Mitchum I think did a much better job, hell I thought Deniro's character should have been in a padded cell. Mitchum's character was just pure evil. I guess if something seems real to me it has more authenticity.
Please react to Casino
Am I the only one who noticed that Ray Liotta and Leo DiCaprio have the same voice?
Great movie...gotta watch a movie that’s as good as his one. Donnie Brasco is a lesser watched mob movie but just as good. This his movie is very stylized where as Brasco shows more of the life of a regular mob guy. Gotta watch it
God I hate autocorrect!
Welcome back Matthew & Emily . I’m glad you watched Goodfellas
The Christmas tree shot should come with a subtitle that says "it all turns to shit from here"
Really enjoy your reactions. You are a joy and so funny. Matthews subtle looks slay me. I hope your on the mend Matthew, thoughts are with you both!
An absolute favourite in our house. A Christmas present wrapping movie every holiday season!!! lol.
One fact I didn't see anyone mention, Tommy's mother is played by Martin Scorcese's mother.
Emily, were your eyes okay? It just reminded me of how my eyes blink and squint when I don't have my glasses on. Great reaction, thanks!
This film about gangsters and shylocks
Begins with a trunk where a guy knocks.
He's stabbed and then shot
Then gets buried to rot
Just for saying, "Now go get your shinebox!"
I just heard about Actor Ray Liotta,he passed away, May he Rip, we will miss you
Love that you got to watch this Em and get both your’s and Matt’s thoughts. This is the top of a top 3 now top 4 coz of The Irishman, 2nd and 3rd being Casino and Donnie Brasco for their true to life depiction of events.
Fun facts about this, the clown scene was improv from Pesci which Scorsese loved and kept in.
Both Pauli and Jimmy were even more psychotic in real life according to hill and the film somewhat softened them up. Tommy especially who at one point in real life shot a civilian in the street just to test out a new gun. And IRL was tall almost 7feet not short like Pesci.
And Paulie was a psycho too and not just as portrayed as a fatherly figure. Henry Hill distinctly recalled one time where as a kid he was waiting in a car for him and Paulie walked into a bar and severely beat a bar maid with a bat for ratting on him to his wife about Paulie cheating with her.
Also my favourite character was Jimmy 2times, 2times ;)
The Departed should definitely be on your list next
How casually the cast reacts to murdering people is unsettling. Lmao
You gotta show Emily 'Scarface', 'Carlito's Way', 'Donnie Brasco', 'King Of New York', 'New Jack City' all GREAT movies about gangsters and organized crime.
The look Mathew did when Emily said "I guess if my significant other was a mobster I'd probably be paranoid constantly" had me laughing out loud!
I can’t watch Goodfellas anymore without seeing cartoon pigeons, LOL
That was pure gold, as so many others from our beloved titular first timer.
If someone hasn't told you guys already, that was Martin Scorsese's real mother that made dinner for the boys in the middle of the night.
Everytime I watch this movie, i often believe that lois the babysitter was a Narc Agent trying to bust Henry. Cause otherwise she wouldn't of made the call from inside the house if people were listening in.
Henry outlived them all. HE died 5 around 5 years ago.
A mouth full of marshmallows is hilarious and a perfect description.
She got mixed up with the Godfathers haha
It's pretty much an all-star, mafia movie line-up, De Niro, Pesci, & Liotta, all directed by Scorsese.
HELL Yeah! One of the BEST EVER. Casino soon?!
This movie ends with entering the witness protection program. I suggest a light-hearted comedy about criminal activity that STARTS with entering the witness protection program. Steve Martin and Rick Moranis in My Blue Heaven.
The woman playing Pesci’s mother is actually Martin Scorsese’s mom
