imagine sitting down to watch a movie and randomly seeing yourself portrayed
Especially a movie that ends up being a classic. Most movies are forgettable. You would have to show people the movie if you were depicted in that movie, in most cases.
If I was depicted in The Room or Gigli, I would be pissed. In his case, Goodfellas is an incredible and I would be proud to have my name mentioned in it, even though he isn't proud of his former life. It really depends on the movie
@@saviorself1164 ONe of those movies I can see people still watching 50-100 years from when it was made. Truly a classic.
@@gordons-alive4940 oh hi mark
@@saviorself1164 imagine Michael Franzese getting walked into a room only to see Tommy Wiseau randomly say "oh, hi Mark"
@@doomsncrew I just watched the room for the first time recently, had no clue the cult following it had then I watch that movie Seth rogen n Franco did. Crazy

😅😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who looked after you in prison Jimmy or Henry something you said in your review of GoodFellas I think you ment Jimmy looked after you not Henry. Yea went back Henry name pops into the story of Jimmy looking after you when you bumped into him in jail. Like to think it was Jimmy the real Irishman Burke. Who looked after you.
I really wished the movie expanded on his character! So much talent wasted, talent wasted.
I’m gonna go watch this video, watch this video
I love how he says "Ladies.. it is violent, don't watch if you don't like that kind of stuff." How considerate. However, I am a young lady and I absolutely love this movie
Glad to know a younger generation still visit and loves goodfellas , especially a lady .. nowadays to many youngsters busy with tiktok .. 🤣
katherine watch it with me
So, you love the I got a wing scene?
@@Rqarte626 everybody has seen goodfellas ur not special lol

After both of Peci's roles in Goodfellas and Casino it was definitly refreshing to see him as a low key character in the next mob movie.
What was the next movie?
@@jakedowell7457 Irish man. He was a laid back character rather than the usual loose canon
@@MakaveliIITheDonKilluminati joe Pesci hadn’t worked in a mob movie after ‘95 until the Irishman?
Probably had something to do with the fact he's in his late 70s, old fella wouldn't be able to play that type of role now he'd probably hurt himself. 😂
@@MakaveliIITheDonKilluminati irishman was garbage asf one of the worst Mob movies
The real Tommy was a huge dude...like 6'2" 225lbs...Pesci may have been small in size but he gave a giant performance on screen. Best mob movie imo.
Thats not huge.....im 6’ 225
@@RALPHLAURENISTHEBEST huge is subjective isn't it? I'm 6"5' 240
Huge is subjective. I’m 6’2” 240 and In my uneventful 71 years the guys under 6’ and at or under 210 were the ones I had to keep my eye on.
I read that he drank a gallon of whole milk a day from ab early age too. He must have been quite a hulking figure
I've read the Pesci character was a composite of three persons, one being DeSimone.
Goodfellas is not just a mafia movie masterpiece. Its a masterpiece in cinematography, acting, directing and storytelling.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Isn’t it based on a true movie?
@@Daniel-js2dk It's from a book called Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi. It's about Henry Hill, the character Ray Liotta played.
Goodfellas is good but Casino is the real masterpiece one step above Goodfellas for sour.
Dances With Wolves won Oscar for best picture that year. SMH
Also, Joe Pesci was in his 40's years old when Goodfellas was made, while the character he played was 26 years old at the time. Still, Pesci was great in that role.
well the whole movie spans a period of like 20 years
Joe Pesci was older than Tommy lol
Yea at the beginning of the adult versions Ray Liotta was supposed to be 21 lol
Pesci is phenomenal. He can go from My Cousin Vinny to Casino to Home Alone to Goodfellas. He's one hell of an actor.
There’s a interview Pesci made where Marty almost didn’t give him the role because of his age, so he had a facelift and a lot of time in the makeup chair, Because really wanted the Role
I used to watch goodfellas with my uncle growing up when everyone would be asleep late at night... he passed from cancer in 2008 rest on peace uncle aaron

Rest in peace Aaron
@@sacramentocheesehog9195 that’s how I’ve referred to him since I saw that show… my dear uncle AAron
@jeff cordova RIP to Big Unc AARon sorry for your loss fella
I was watching Goodfellas with my parents and when we got to the bar scene and Micheal showed up on the screen I paused the movie and said "See that guy? He's a RUclipsr now."
Truth is stranger than fiction.
☝️🥴
@@EnlightenedRogue24 It sure is
Did not happen
@@roywilson4514 it’s true I was the couch
@@roywilson4514 Can confirm that it did, I was Michael Franzese.
Michael: “This isn’t real life, honey. This has nothing to do with me”

Michael: 👁👄👁
'Ight, Imma head out
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael: well.....i just fucking jinxed myself damn it

Honey i am not violent
Literally a captain in Colombo crime family
As a delivery driver, I had that same feeling when I saw Jason Statham portray me in The Transporter. I was like, “Dang, they put me in a movie?” But I wasn’t mad. Just a little surprised. Pretty accurate, actually. The only things they took creative liberties with were my hair, accent, physique, car, age, and skin color. Other than that, pretty much a straight-up biography.
😂
😂😂😂🤓
Don't feel bad. I know someone whose REAL name was the same as an FBI agent in Law and Order: SVU. *dun dun*

Are you Doug Heffernan?
He needs a movie made on himself, he can play himself in the end.
He's making a TV show I believe.
Emile Hirsch is the perfect actor to play Michael Franzese young

This dude is the youngest looking 70 year old I've ever seen. His dad literally lived to like 103. God genes.
I keep forgetting he's 70
yes he looks like 50.
He looks like he's in his early 50s.
Particularly amazing considering the life he has had too.
That's what I kept thinking.. how in the hell could he remember these guys when he looks 50 and they were 40 years ago?
Rest In Peace Ray. You brought me so much joy with your films and laughter. Dapper 💯. Hugs 🤗 in Heaven. 5-26-2022😢
Yes
I loved Ray
Yeah, he was a good fella.
Who
@@MigorRortis Ray liotta
“Jimmy was upset with Henry”
That’s an understatement.
Jimmy Burke was a mans man
This is literally the only movie I can watch every single day for the rest of my life without getting bored with it.
Only thing I dislike about the movie is the cheating on his wife/abusive relationship it was just depressing only reason I don't it watch it often.
@@zetokaiba5867 she knew what she signed up for. Once he lied about being in construction that's when she should've went the other way. As long as he was risking his life and killing for money she was fine.
@@fahblizza Yeah, but everyone says Henry was a stand up guy yet he treats his wife like shit I don't get it.
@@zetokaiba5867 Accountability. She's not a victim, she's a volunteer.
@@zetokaiba5867 a lot of them knew it but they had money and a good life. I hated how Henry treated his wife, it’s just downright sad how Karen was treated by Henry in the movie.
Lets just run through the entire movie with Michael's commentary!
Absolutley.
That’d be pretty nice actually
I’m cool with that
I really wish that was a possibility
When he said "I could go on and on", I was like...please do!
Growing up in Brooklyn in the early to mid 90s. I had a Italian girlfriend who lived in Bensonhurst. I remember the Colombo war very vividly… it’s good to see that you made it out. God Bless Mikey 🙏🏼
I feel for you mike, I couldn’t imagine telling my wife I’m out of the life and then being name dropped in a movie about the mob.
My old lady would be pissed.
That isn't me. It must be someone else with my name! He could do better than that!
And the movie is “Goodfellas”
Might be a tough discussion

I can listen to you tell mob stories until I literally can’t anymore. Your storytelling is amazing. Thank you sir!
Same and so many other mob interviews are so much bullshit and when I first discovered MIchael months ago you can instantly tell the difference. So much sincerity and more realistic, believable descriptions of events.
Every mob interveiw is I killed 60 people I killed 100 people, i was best friends with Capone whatever. Michael said " I dont think there was even 40 guys to kill in the entire family" . Richard kuklinski has confirmed to of killed 13 people but also showed great exaggerations and changed details. Even in his interveiw theres a part that says " do you think it was 100?" " yeah, atleast, I think""
"Over 100?"
"Yeah maybe 200"
Then we have litteraly 40 different versions of the jimmy Hoffa story.meanwhile when it comes to murders or crimes michael wasnt caught for he is extremely vague or completley dodged the question. The king doesnt need to tell you hes king.
Agreed!! His delivery is great.
Seriously I love this dude
@@bennycostello2472 finally someone who appreciates their elders.
I
Nah, nah, nah, Michael, you did insult Henry a little bit... 😂
Great reference. 😂
I 💚ed Henry ❗ He was a punk &&& , but He didnt even try to make things Look better than in reality 🤷♀️, the movie IS Something different (WHO would watch IT with only ugly or fat PPL in IT⁉️)
I’m breaking balls a little bit and he’s getting fkn fresh, break up my fuckin party. What’s right is right..
He told the truth
Looooooool this made me laugh
I have Goodfellas on DVD...and literally just watched it again last night...one of the best mob movies.....rest in peace Henry Hill and Ray Liotta....
And Paul Sorvino
name a better one?
Mike is sooo interesting. He has a gift in the storytelling department. He's also good at editing himself "on the fly" when telling his stories. He's never redundant and doesn't dwell on facts that aren't that important.
Pesci is a really small guy. But his mob roles, he is larger than life always comes off as a guy you really don't want to piss off.
Pesci is a really funny guy.
@@tc5915 funny how?
@@tc5915 How is he funny? Is he there to amuse you?
Pesci isn't even acting.
@@maosama3695 yeah he was pretty well connected. Bunch of older guys said Joe was a tough guy who had to be that way cause of his height, he was never involved in anything illegal but was close to alot of bosses having grown up with them and fighting alongside them in school
Henry Hill didn't look like Ray Liotta, but Liotta nailed his soulless, hollow laugh 100%.
@tapset47 lol
Oh you knew Henry hill personally?
@@nickionadibasketball6437 No, but I've listened to interviews with Henry Hill and heard him laugh
Randy Peppercorn “is not Henry hill” in this movie is literally stated in the first 2 minutes
I heard in real life Paulie was banging Henry Hills wife Karen. But just something someone said online, don’t know where they got it from
The scene when jimmy sent Karen to get the coats in the store down the block is one of the most tense movie moments ever
I forget. Was he genuinely planning on getting her whacked?
@@TokyoKazama yes
I can't find it on RUclips anymore, but there was a hilarious interview with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins where a stage worker came up to Dave and said, "Bob wants to talk to you," Dave says, "Who's Bob?" Stage Worker, "Bob Dylan. He wants to talk to you." Dave, "W-What. Did I do something wrong?" State Worker, "No no. He just wants to talk to you. Go down that hallway and around the corner." Dave, "Down there?" Stage worker, "Yeah, right around the corner." Dave said that the hallway was dark and he thought it resembled too much like that scene in Goodfellas and he was going to be whacked around the corner. Then he saw Bob Dylan and he was wearing a hoodie.
@@saifmustafa7713 is as viewers don’t know that. It’s up for interpretation. It’s not actually shown nor supposed to be a fact in the movie. Nobody knows if that’s what it’s supposed to me. You either think that or you don’t. And that’s how they meant it. So for you to say yea makes you look seriously cringe. Relax buddy. You don’t know as much as you think you do 😂
It wasn't a store it was a- hole in the-wall warehouse. Karen (Lorraine Braco) , as a woman wouldn't go in there having saw the 2 goons in the back to get a dress. Thus backing out and telling Jimmy she had to go and would have Henry call him later while getting into car to bounce out of there knowing she'd be killed.......intuition.
GoodFellas is my jam, lol.
The fact that Michael was depicted in Goodfellas just blew my mind. A mobster from that infamous Movie years later in the "Future" would have his own channel on something called YT. I would have to say Michael is the Most Original Enterprising Mobster that ever lived. Can u imagine old Retired Detectives sittin at home looking at their PC and to their mind blown surprise? Franzese has a YT Channel!!
ruclips.net/video/wnSzaG8p1Y8/видео.html
Mike definitely needs his own movie his life is unreal
Not for nothing Mr. Franzese but did you ever consider reviewing or talking about Spike Lee's movie "Summer of Sam" which was actually written by a guy named Victor Colicchio who believe it or not was one of the cameo actors in that very same bar scene in "Goodfellas". Reason being that Summer of Sam alleges that made members of organized crime put out cash bounties for whoever could catch the son of Sam murders and that they went around picking on anyone they thought didn't look normal ??¿¿
They makin a tv show for him
He's talked about movies being made and shows but none of them really worked out for whatever reason from what I've heard
A major studio has just picked up his story, it’s going to be in production soon, he mentioned it not long ago.
Absolutely
"Look, we're not going to go scene by scene." Michael, if you did, we'd never fault you. Everyone of us would be hanging onto your every word.
Yes, you are SO right.
Without a doubt.
Ya I’d pay to see that.
I'd listen to full podcast
One of my all time favourite movies. Thanks Michael for giving context to the guys who were portrayed and some of the scenes. It’s pretty crazy hearing from someone who lived that life and knew a lot of these guys in real life.
I could listen to him tell stories all day.
Pesci is great in anything not just Mob movies, I still find My Cousin Vinny hilarious after all these years
Yeah like in home alone
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Same
YES!!! Love that film
Same.
BRUH THIS MAN LITERALLY LIVED THROUGH GOODFELLAS
It’s a scary thought when the movie barely touches the surface on what really happened. Pesci is a genius. I’m going to watch the movie again just to hear pescis lines.
11:22 When watching the scene leading up to that, you'll see them talking and in the background you see others talking away, enjoying themselves etc. When this scene starts, everyone in the background slowly begins to freeze in place and has little to no movement, not even looking back at the table, except for one guy with his girl behind Tommy. Then when the joke is sprung, everything in the background picks back up. That whole scene and the long, continuous shot of Henry going through the kitchen/night club are amazing.
Holy shit Franzese has his own RUclips channel now after being in the mob !? This guy is built different
You’d be surprised how many gangsters have social media
@@Lbelm77
You’d be surprised by how fanboyish I became once I saw Michaels YT channel
@@Lbelm77 what's that supposed to mean?
Micheal is a former mobster. So he isn't one those "gangsters" who got social media. Because he is no longer in the life of crime. He's on his 70's. Give him a break.
This guy understand the power of social media

Michael tells it how it is. Really helps younger kids who "idolise" the gangster life-style
He did he made his millions and got out.

Sammy Gaudino well, not a lot of people got out
You can tell that he personified that life and hates glorifying myths and super tough guys. I wish he would have went more in-depth with this one!
@JD Almost like black and white ;)
I'm so happy RUclips recommended this to me. Gangster films have always been my favorite genre of films and now with actually hearing a real former mobster tell his account just satisfies the history-lover in me.
The shinebox scene works so well because Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent started out together as a comedy duo.
The fact that the Shah of Iran is in this movie automatically makes it a classic
Shah of Iran😂😂😂😂😂. I saw that joke somewhere else yesterday and laughed my arse off😂. Well the Shah of Iran really loves shineboxes

Haha wonder if that was a real guy
Idk...i don't want to know. My hope is that he existed....if i found out he was fictional it would crush me 😆 lol
Take Coffeecake wit yaz.
This is my fav Mob movie. The Godfather is great but I find I can watch Goodfellas dropping in on it at any point and be entertained. I have to be in a certain mood to watch Godfather. Also I'm not surprised that Henry's story would be changed to make him look better than he was in real life. Both he and the movie makers would want to show a slick gangster pick not a documentary.
Man you have one of the very best intros to your RUclips videos that I've ever seen. It is the best.
It's like you're in a time machine you really appreciate life while you're watching it. It's a trip to say the least.
“No, honey. That’s not me in ‘Good Fellas.’ There were like 10 Michael Franzese’s in my neighborhood.” 😆
"Number 1: Henry never looked that good" LOL!!
Have you ever seen a pic of the real Herny, he looks like the hitman in no country for old men
Javier Bardem
Ray Liotta was dashing and charming in Goodfellas. Henry, in real life? Not so much.
@@CamiMack5616 everything about Henry was exaggerated in this movie, what he looked like, what he did, his respect in the neighborhood, his time in prison, his friendship with Paulie
Christopher Serrone who played as the younger henry hill actually look alot more like the real life henry hill
Holy cow what a great find! Thank you for the content! What a crazy history these guys have
My Blue Heaven is one of my absolute favorite movies ever! I can still hear the Merengue in it written by Gershwin! Thank you for this video, and the tribute to Paul Sirico. He will be missed. An absolutely amazing actor.
Michael Franzese is the real deal.

@@scottystcloud7086 i always wanted suggest to bring cullota but he died few weeks ago
The Irishman isn't meant to be accurate, it's meant to be an adaption of the book. Scorcese himself said it didn't matter if the story was true, he just wanted to make a good narrative for the film. Real or not, it was a good story.
@Tsarl John not true he said the Crazy Joe Gallo part was totally horse shit also he didn't seem to care for it to me
@Rodycaz well he should include it on mob movie mondays as it is one of the most recent mafia related movies.. a movie i dont think he will review is the last gotti movie to come out with travolta. The irishmans performances of the legendary actors was pretty on point and it will probably be one of the last movies about the mob that scorcese directs
Immersed into watching everything you’ve got on RUclips, Michael Franzese! 🤝

I love hearing you describe your real life experiences. Movies are good. But hearing it from somebody who's lived the life is way better. Much respect and God bless..
I worked with Joe Pesci on a movie called "The Super" great guy! Funny, smart, warm, and just a wonderful human being. Many actors in Hollywood could learn a lot from Joe on how to carry themselves. Joe Pesci does not suffer from super ego like so many actors . It's always great to see someone give credit to Joe Pesci, because he is one of the finest actors of the 21st century. I love the guy, he's BOSS!
Were you the kid that had the drug dealer father?
That movie was funny as hell. I wish I could find it on DVD.
Absolutely. I like finding clips of Joe Pesci on RUclips. One with Letterman is great, hell, any clip of Pesci is great. He is totally engaging.
I think He’s right about Henry Hills. He’s battled alcoholism his whole life. People who has substance abuse, their lives always are a mess.
@Dalton Roadhouse keep your head up man you can always turn it around
Mine sure was..It turned me into somebody I wasn't.I lost relationships.Glad it's behind me now.

I'm glad you cleared that up, after 30+ years, this is the first time I noticed your name mentioned!
This movie shared 27 actors with The Sopranos, including Michael Imperioli and Lorraine Bracco.
Yep this was like a prequel almost to the Sopranos lol. I knew it was a lot of actors from the movie who played in the Sopranos but I didn't know it was 27 actors though.
And Christopher lol
Holy cow! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.
Oh yeah the actor who plays Paulie walnuts in the sopranos is in a scene in Goodfellas a bunch of actors
Carmela's mom was Karen's mom in this
I’ve seen Goodfellas at least 35 times. It’s a Masterpiece! Joe Pesci has always made me laugh one minute and terrified me the next. Watching him as Russell Bufalino really blew me away. At the end of the Irishman when he’s in prison with (DeNiro) Frank Sheeran and they are breaking bread together for the last time brought me to tears. The man is a brilliant actor.
The Irishman is a great movie
@@blakebrannon89 My dad would've been working on the docks in Ashtabula around that time.

He lived in Cali for a while
@@2tactical487 also, and I'm sure you already know but, whilst growing up surrounded by that life he intended to stay out and he went to college and studied as a medical student I believe, it may not be medical I'll have to double check.
Apparently the "how am I funny" scene is a true story on something that happened to Joe Pesci once when he was with a wiseguy, so Joe went to Scorsese and asked if he can do it, and nobody else knew about it so the reactions are genuine like improv.
Ray Liotta knew about it too. Everyone else's reaction was purely genuine.
"Whaddaya call it, the paw?"
"The hoof"

Thank you yet Mr Francese, your commentries are so welcomed and refreshing. Please don't stop ❤️👍🏾
Michaels knowledge and memory is absolutely phenomenal.
Thank you for everything you do Mr. Franzese.
Greatest intro scene, “I always knew I wanted to be a gangster” then Tony Bennett’s Rags to riches.
The Godfather had the better intro scene in my opinion. 🙂
Maybe Paul didn’t treat Henry that well, and Henry’s life wasn’t so great. But I bet to him that’s how he saw it, he probably saw that little bit of attention from Paul as much more. He thought it was great because he never saw anything better
don't forget he was sleeping with Henry's wife too.
@@SiccDeville where'd you read that ?
I have to admit I worked for mob affiliated small time dudes in this life and always they had my back. Nothing but love for the pizza man I was working 14 hour days with these guys
Nah I think He knew his place! If he was so delusional about his relationship with Paulie Vario why did he go up against him?
@@Neat_profile
RE: ". . . his relationship with Paulie Vario why did he go up against him?"
He felt that he had no choice since Paulie had put out a contract on him. (Pure speculation here, but also maybe Henry Hill knew that Paulie had been banging his wife Karen.)
I got tired of Pesci playing the same character in all those mob movies, i NEVER got sick of Al Pacino or Robert De Niro
I once had an opportunity to meet a gentleman called Douglas Arnold who was one of the original members of the UK SAS. I’d have loved to meet him and hear his stories and I have the same kind of vibe about Michael Franzese.
I like hearing the stories but to hear certain details off the record would be a priceless gift.
Joe Pesci in 'Raging Bull' is also brilliant.

About the whole Billy Batts loan shark thing, it is not super noticeable due to the music but before they kill Billy in the movie you can actually hear him and Jimmy arguing about business (I think Billy says something about how he wants what is his).
Jimmy had taken over Batts lucrative loan shark buisness and Batts wanted it back when he got out.

But hey Michael u put yourself in that situation, what was Pretty Woman or Ghost sold out?? First scene dives right in, and nothing gets a girl more turned on than seeing a guy beg for his life then being brutally stabbed and shot in the trunk of a Cadillac.
Lol
I just discovered these Videos. Amazing! I’m going to binge watch these at work tonight! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You know you’ve done something when you’re a character in a movie
My dad had a pizza place in lewisburg in the 70’s, and Al Pacino came in for lunch after visiting some friends in the pen..
Damn was he famous by then ? Did he click a picture ? Crazy .
@@sanket677 He was famous enough that my dad knew who he was, and he did get a picture, it was at my grandmas house for a long time, my uncle lives with my grandma and when she passed away I don’t know what she did with all of her stuff, I would love to have that picture though. Not only because it was a picture of my dad with Al Pacino but they were standing in front of my dad‘s restaurant and it was my dad‘s first restaurant, my dad would go on to open 46 pizzerias Over the years and that was his first, so I really want to find that picture LOL
@@robcolone8546 Very cool. Post it if you find it. What was the name of your Dad's pizza joint?
@@charlescarter4608 So the name of that place was Napoli pizza. My dad opened a whole bunch of pizza places and sold them and they were usually have different names, but he had five or six that were called Napoli, he had five or six that were called Famosa, he had a couple of them called Kings, he was all over the place LOL
Must off been good pizza lol
As far back as I can remember I always wanted to liquify the garlic in the pan with a little bit of oil
CAARL cs that would be a beautiful system
Aah.. an aristocrat
Lol I always felt he used too many onions but it was still a very good sauce.
🤣🤣
"....and then one day...it was all over" lol
Refreshingly articulate, authentically informative and thoroughly respectful. I've subscribed! Thank you Michael 👌
Rest in peace Ray Liotta, you are a legend
If there was EVER a movie that made a young guy want to be a gangster it was THIS one. These were horrible people,that took what they wanted by illegal means for decades,yet it still has a certain romance about the lifestyle. As far as a movie,i think its perfect.
The most bizzare thing I saw, was Henry Hill on a morning magazine show in the UK called 'This Morning,' doing a cookery slot after an interview.
Life is strange.
If i remember Henry actually has a cookbook for sale it's mostly his family recipes
Really enjoy listening to you speak Michael ! And Goodfellas is one of my all-time favourite movies . Greetings from Australia !
Thank you once again, Michael.
I personally appreciate your mature perspective- that of a wiser, more careful and thoughtful gentleman who can reflect on his prior life in a careful AND diplomatic way.
Your are blessed, you know.
I could listen to you read a dictionary. You have such a gift in story telling and speaking to your audience. Much respect to you. Thank you for your dedication to your subscribers.
well thats why he is a capo of the mafia family, he def got some leadership skills
simpin hard bro..
This was a great review. ''Now!, Go home and get your shine box.''
“One minute we’re hugging and kissing the next he’s getting fucking fresh!”
"One minute were kissing and hugging ova here next minute he's acting like a fucken jerk ..."
Minkahed ahh you’re right..it has been a minute since I seen this flick
Haha 🤣
I’ll shine your box
Loving this video and reviews and all man, good stuff 👏 👍 👌
Something about those pizza joints in the Northeast back in the 70's. My older brother worked at the one up the street.
The owner offered to get my brother into the Mafia. He politely declined. My father got wind of it and needless to say that job didn't last long-lol On the flip side, they made a great pie.
Tommy should go home and get Michael’s shinebox, get Michael’s shinebox
It's a shame Tommy isn't alive anymore :(
"I`m gonna watch this film again, watch this film again."
Thank you for your great vids Mike!
I'm guessing that Henry Hill mostly looked like he did in the final few minutes of "Goodfellas", when he's snorting powder and watching helicopters
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been able to watch this movie now without getting bored
Michael Franzese had the makings of a varsity mob captain.
Love the lead in music of your show. Always gets me up for the episode. 😁👍
