Brightside Radio Episode 88: Tommy

We binge every weekend on unhealthy meals and critical movie marathons, and one of recent criticism was Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. We felt it was necessary circling back to one of the greats, seeing that our subconscious obsession with Wolf of Wall Street lead us to the decision.

Today, we dedicate Brightside Radio Episode 88 to Tommy De Vito, one of the main character's from the film with an unmistakable amount of spunk for a little guy. Tommy was a role for which Pesci won the 1990 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The movie took some artistic liberties: primarily, DeVito AKA Thomas DeSimone was a bit different then the movie depiction. While shown in the film as a small man with an attitude, DeSimone was a large, burly enforcer, standing at 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) and around 225 pounds. Paul Cicero (based on Vario) at one point states that Tommy is a "good kid, but a cowboy with too much to prove."
