Episode 200 Singin' in the Rain and Goodfellas
Any way you slice it, 200 episodes is a milestone. And while other, more cowardly podcasts might insist on regulating and planning every second of such an achievement, we left it all to chance and invited Lady Luck to choose our movies for us! Last week’s AFI Roulette spins yielded two paragons of pure, unadulterated entertainment. One is a dumb, colorful musical bursting with bananas fashion, stunning set pieces, and one magnificent ass. The other is a frenetic and cacophonous gangster flick that features outstanding performances, the most magnificent oner, and an in-movie commercial to rival Cheddar Goblin. Both are exemplars of their genre, and the form of cinema itself. Join us as we swoon over Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and Goodfellas (1990), this week on Ex Rated Movies!
