It's Christina's birthday pick! As is tradition on the pod, she's making co-host Brian watch a movie he's never seen before. Her pick: 1992's My Cousin Vinny. We're not quite sure how the eff Brian never got around to seeing this comedy classic in his "yout" ... but here we are. Did he appreciate Marisa Tomei's Oscar-winning turn? Did he chuckle and guffaw as so many 90s audience members did way back when? And, most importantly, did Christina still love it?

Woman down!This week's episode involves the tale of how Alice nearly met her end thanks to some kitty litter, a trash can, and a potential minor loss of flexibility. She also almost did a crime, so it's been a big week. Meanwhile, Doug envisions a baby Joe Pesci and...researches whether or not jock straps are trademarked? Okay, so it's not potential death or imprisonment, but it's something.Other discussion topics may include:- Sealed air corporations- Why aren't there themed hospitals?- Rude, uneducated, penniless sloths- What kind of trash can could take down an elephant?- Wear a Hat to Denny's Day

Nick is joined by film critic Erik Childress (with Steve Prokopy off this week) to dig into a fresh slate of movie releases. They cover Paul Thomas Anderson's ambitious new epic One Battle After Another starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, Matthew McConaughey's The Lost Bus, Eleanor the Great with June Squibb directed by Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Thompson's icy new thriller Dead of Winter. Later, Esmeralda Leon teams up with Nick to respond to a listener complaint about their mail-order catalog talk, before diving headfirst into the world of embarrassing side projects from big-name stars. From Robert De Niro slumming it in Rocky and Bullwinkle, to Joe Pesci crooning as his My Cousin Vinny character, to the glorious disaster that is Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, they unpack the weird detours that even the most talented people can't live down. [Ep 388]

Martin Scorsese's glitzy, blood-soaked chronicle of power, greed, and betrayal in the neon-lit mirage of Las Vegas: Casino. Robert De Niro plays Ace Rothstein, the meticulous casino manager who knows every bet, every angle, and every cheat—until love and loyalty start skewing the odds. Joe Pesci is a walking powder keg as Nicky Santoro, a mob enforcer with no off-switch, and Sharon Stone delivers a hurricane of heartbreak and havoc as Ginger. It's a symphony of excess where the chips are high, the violence is sudden, and the house always wins—until it doesn't. Did you enjoy the episode?

Giorgio Armani solía describirse con una serie de adjetivos que reflejan tanto su carácter personal como su enfoque profesional: detallista, exigente, firme, leal, constante, apasionado y decidido. Así definía su identidad, tanto como individuo como en su rol de creador. Con 91 años, el mundo se despide de una figura clave en la moda contemporánea. Armani se distinguió por un estilo elegante pero sobrio, en contraste con otras casas de alta costura europeas más extravagantes. Originario de Piacenza, Italia, construyó un emporio valorado en más de 10.000 millones de dólares, según Forbes. Como muchos visionarios, sus comienzos fueron humildes, pero su paso por la firma Nino Cerruti le permitió adquirir experiencia antes de fundar su propia marca junto a su socio Sergio Galeotti. El vínculo de Armani con el cine fue uno de los elementos que más definió su trayectoria. Muchas celebridades lucieron sus diseños en la gran pantalla, dándoles una visibilidad global. Su primer gran momento llegó con American Gigolo, película que también marcó el ascenso de Richard Gere. Esta cinta fue su carta de presentación en el mercado estadounidense, donde hasta entonces era prácticamente un desconocido. Aprovechando esa exposición, Armani tuvo la visión de vestir gratuitamente a actores para que exhibieran sus creaciones en alfombras rojas y premiaciones. Uno de los vínculos más recordados del diseñador fue con el cine de gánsteres. En Uno de los nuestros, sus trajes vistieron a Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci y Ray Liotta. También colaboró en Los Intocables de Eliot Ness con Kevin Costner y diseñó para Jessica Chastain en El año más violento. Aunque se le reconoce principalmente por su ropa masculina, su versatilidad abarcó mucho más. Más allá de la moda, Armani deja un legado económico notable. En 2024, la firma generó ingresos por 2.300 millones de dólares. Como único propietario, decidió que toda su fortuna pasará a sus herederos. Además, estipuló que la empresa no podrá cotizar en bolsa hasta cinco años después de su fallecimiento, garantizando así su estabilidad y visión a largo plazo.

Use code DHOABBREAK40 to get your first month for $3! To wet your whistle, we're giving you our episode on LETHAL WEAPON 2 today, for free.This week on 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES, we tackle one of the defining entries in the genre — LETHAL WEAPON 2! For Liam, this one's personal: a formative film that helped shape his love of buddy movies and action cinema. We unpack the evolution of Riggs and Murtaugh's partnership, from antagonistic sparks in the first film to full-blown brotherhood here, and how that emotional core elevates the surrounding mayhem. We dig into Richard Donner's slick direction, Joel Silver's architectural in-jokes, the reverberating echoes of Shane Black's voice in the heavily re-written script, and the film's perfect cocktail of gunfights, jokes, and toilet-based suspense. Plus: the politics of apartheid-era villains, the joys of Joe Pesci's scene-stealing turn, and how this sequel helped codify the rhythms and tropes of the modern buddy action movie. A foundational text — and a very special episode! You won't be “immune” to the vibes of this one!Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbFE2P3tASIAt the time of release, LETHAL WEAPON 2 is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube and Fandango and on physical media through selected outlets.Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed: 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymoviesCREDITS"Miami Nights - Extended Theme" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/police2.wav by guitarguy1985 – https://freesound.org/s/70938/ – License: Creative Commons 0 Hosted on Acast.

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1992 comedy classic My Cousin Vinny to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “[My Cousin Vinny] is a Thanksgiving movie. -Manny This is an absolute lovefest of an episode with My Cousin Vinny quotes flying all over the place. From the start to the end there's nothing but amazing things to say about the dialogue, the comedic timing of Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, the late great Fred Gwynne, Mitchell Whitfield, Lane Smith, and Austin Pendleton. The boys try to find plot holes and come up empty, except for their star audience member Long Island artist Andrew Breen (@rocktapusjones_art) who finds one very minor issue. Manny does an amazing reenactment of Marisa Tomei's “Hunting” monologue, they go through the hilarious prison scene with Joe Pesci and Mitchell Whitfield, and the perfectly ridiculous NY character names. In the end, they determine whether this movie passes The Nostalgia Test and discuss why My Cousin Vinny is a perfect Thanksgiving movie. Get ready for a nostalgic trip with these three yutes through possibly one of the best comedies of all time.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/16/2025): 3:05pm- Last week, Israel launched a series of preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear development sites, ballistic missile launchers, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership. While speaking with the press during the G7 Summit in Canada, President Donald Trump said the Iranians “would like to talk but they should have done that before.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated the United States played no role in the strikes—though, the administration continues to insist that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

Some consider Casino (1995), the best collaboration between Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese. Others think it just a re-hash of previously told stories. So we went back and watched it. New characters and new locations bring something different to a tale about trying to find success in a pre-defined society. But does it really change the overall impact of the story?

This is a re-upload for Spotify of a conversation originally held in November of 2023. Hit Factory wishes to extend our deepest gratitude and reverence to the National Music Publishers' Association - tireless defenders of intellectual property, guardians of taste, and brave crusaders against independent podcasts that allegedly included a brief clip of copyrighted music within a previous version of this episode. Journalist and writer Séamus Malekafzali returns to the program for a lengthy conversation about Martin Scorsese's 1995 crime epic 'Casino'. Initially viewed by critics and audiences as a retread of Scorsese's masterful crime saga 'Goodfellas', the film has since been reevaluated as a masterpiece in its own right - one enriched by the director's late period films and preoccupations.We discuss the film's dizzying construction, effectively evoking the glitz and glam of the Vegas strip through extended montages and voiceover (an effect masterfully rendered by Scorsese's deft hands as a director, a firecracker script with co-writer Nicholas Pileggi, and the brilliant editing of longtime Scorsese collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker). Then, we examine the brilliant, career-defining performance of Sharon Stone as Ginger McKenna. It's a role that deserves every possible accolade, and strikes a note that no one but Stone could conceivably achieve. Finally, we discuss the film as capitalist allegory, and how Scorsese thoughtfully weaves commentary on the corporate centralization of the American economy and its steady collapsing of the middle class.We also offer some thoughts on Scorsese's latest, 'Killers of the Flower Moon', and the evolution of the director's views on capitalism, corruption, and consequence.

What do you do after you win an Oscar for playing a scary bloodthirsty mobster? You try to lead a courtroom comedy, of course! That's how Joe Pesci ended up headlining MY COUSIN VINNY, and that's how, unsurprisingly, Marisa Tomei stole the movie from him - winning an Oscar for it and, even better, the MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance of 1992.

Joe Pesci - comedian. Is that a thing? Or is it telling that Marisa Tomei seems to be the most memorable aspect of MY COUSIN VINNY?

The summer of 1989 gave Warner Bros an enormous box office hit with Batman - but not far behind it came Lethal Weapon 2, a sequel turned around in a couple of years, and bringing back most of the key creatives. Not writer Shane Black, though. His much darker idea for the sequel would be rejected, and the tone would duly shift. Plus, we'd get a lot more Joe Pesci as a result. In the second half of this episode, Michael Cera joins us for a chat. There's his work on Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme for a start, but also, some of the lower-profile independent films he's made, and his own plans to direct. Quite a packed episode, this one...

“It's not ripped from the headlines. We're not using any of [the Buss family's] real-life stories and putting them into our show. Because Mindy [Kaling], Ike [Barinholtz], and I have so many influences like Arrested Development, 30 Rock, The Office and Succession, we're coming up with our own fun stories and fun situations to put this dysfunctional, very wealthy, successful family into a blender and then have them going back and forth and arguing and solving problems together and against each other,” says David Stassen, showrunner of Running Point, about taking inspiration from Los Angeles Lakers' President, Jeannie Buss's family and turning it into a hit TV show. In this episode, we chat with David Stassen, showrunner and co-creator of the Netflix show, Running Point, that's just been given the greenlight for Season 2. The show centers on Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), the daughter of a powerful basketball magnate. She's now taken the helm of the legendary team with the help – or hindrance – of her four well-meaning but unpredictable brothers. While firmly set in the brawny world of basketball, Stassen talks about the true core of Running Point, which revolves around the siblings trying to earn the love of their deceased father. To get this particular narrative right, Stassen says the writers room spent a lot of time focusing on the family dynamics and differentiating each character's struggles and traits. Much of the comedy in the show comes from the clashes between the siblings and their attempts to live up to their father's fierce expectations. Stassen also talks about how the character Isla, a woman at the center of a very male-dominated universe, relies on speeches from gangster films to communicate with her basketball team. “Movies transcend our society. So, I think it's a great way to connect and even if you haven't seen Casino, most people know that Joe Pesci is viewed as a very scary person on film. We were lucky enough to get the rights to show a scene. So even if you didn't know anything about it, you got to see the moment. It's just a fun thing to have this beautiful, airy Kate Hudson taking on these roles of the tough Italian mobster or the contract killer getting revenge for his dead dog, like John Wick. And I guess it probably speaks to something bigger about this show – about a woman in a man's world. But at the same time, Isla is powerful in her own way, right? She's powerful 95% of the time just being herself and standing up for herself. And then the fun flourishes are maybe using a movie reference to illustrate a point,” says Stassen. To hear more about Running Point and Stassen's advice to TV writers, listen to the podcast.
