The guys are back from break to talk about Martin Scorsese's 1990 classic mobster flick Goodfellas. The film blurs the lines between fact and fiction to the point where its real-life subject Henry Hill (played by, in the role of his lifetime, Ray Liotta) said it was almost 100% true. The guys break down the strange lure of Liotta and a career made on this role and roles like it as well as the twisted humor of the film's most violent character, Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and the understated performance of Robert De Niro as Jimmy Conway. For all of the over-the-top violence and gangster grandiosity, the guys agree that the craziest part of the film is easily those actors playing 21- and 28-year old men, but the joy of the film isn't affected. They also pick their own Wiseguy nicknames and prison jobs and discuss the vacations that kept them away for three weeks.
