This week we review - for the 2nd time - the 1990 American biographical gangster film Goodfellas directed by Martin Scorsese. Except this time we review it with Australian TV and movie star Pia Miranda.

If you haven't listened check out our interview with Pia here:   https://aussiescot24.podbean.com/e/interview-with-pia-miranda/?token=5f56c4c635af82f0582b218b3012f0c9     where we deep dive into her amazing life.

Goodfellas stars Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco, and Paul Sorvino, the film narrates the rise and fall of Mafia associate Henry Hill and his friends and family from 1955 to 1980.

The Scotsman hopes he has found a new podcast host - someone who dislikes romantic movies, loves gangster movies and appreciates the classics.

The Aussie is up against it - there's a reason he is called the Aussie Battler and he tries to put up a good fight against some tough opposition.

We find out that Pia prefers wine to flowers and she gives us some insights through the eyes of an actor .

This is a really fun podcast on one of the all time great movies.

Listen to Pia recite one of the best lines of the film in her beautiful Italian/American mobster accent.

The Scotsman tells an incredibly spooky Godfather related story and there is an audible gasp and sigh from Pia when the Aussie tells her what he thought of The Elephant Man.

(Edit: we say that Joe Pesci's character kills Frank Vincents character in Casino and Frank kills Pesci in Goodfellas - that is incorrect, it is the other way around. Also The Godfather was written by Mario Puzo)
