Podcast appearances and mentions of Marisa Tomei

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson and Josh Parham join me to review and discuss the latest MCU Tom Holland Spider-Man film, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," starring Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Marisa Tomei, and Mark Ruffalo. Taking over from Jon Watts director Destin Daniel Cretton steps into the director's chair and brings the larger than life spectacle of the MCU back down to the ground a little bit as the reset button is hit following the events of 2021's "No Way Home," where those who knew Peter Parker cannot remember him any longer, thus forcing our favorite web-slinger into isolation and depression, which leads to some unexpected changes in his DNA while a new mysterious foe emerges that will have ramifications across the entire MCU. Also, Bruce Banner (aka. Hulk), Frank Castle (aka. Punisher), and Yelena Belova (aka. Black Widow) show up! What did we think of it? Please tune in either on video or audio only as we discuss the film's story, its performances, action, humor, visual effects, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Dana and Tom with special guest, Reed Arnold (Writer, Director, and Star of Do Us Part (2026)) discuss Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) for its 15th Anniversary: directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman, cinematography by Andrew Dunn, music by Christophe Beck and Nick Urata, editing by Lee Haxall, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon.Plot Summary: Up next is a film from 2011 that takes the age-old Hollywood trope of the cinematic makeover and turns it completely on its ear. It's Crazy, Stupid, Love.Now, when we meet Cal Weaver—played with a wonderful, understated desperation by Steve Carell—he is a man whose comfortable, suburban life has just evaporated over dessert. His high school sweetheart and wife of twenty-five years, played by a luminous Julianne Moore, announces she wants a divorce. Suddenly, Cal finds himself cast adrift in the unfamiliar and deeply hostile waters of the modern dating scene.Enter Jacob Palmer, a suave, cynical, and impossibly sharp-dressed bachelor who treats the local lounge like his own personal kingdom. He's played by Ryan Gosling, channeling the kind of effortless, magnetic charisma that would make Cary Grant proud. Jacob takes pity on our broken-hearted protagonist, deciding to mentor Cal in the fine arts of tailored suits, confident posture, and the precise chemistry of the pickup line.But what makes Dan Fogelman's screenplay so compelling isn't just the transformation of Cal. It is how the film expertly weaves multiple generations of romance into a single, chaotic tapestry. We see Cal's teenage son harboring a fierce, agonizing crush on his older babysitter, who in turn harbors her own secret affection. Meanwhile, Jacob—the ultimate, uncatchable playboy—finds his own defenses completely dismantled by a sharp-witted law student, played with incredible comic timing by Emma Stone.It's a film that balances the slick, sophisticated banter of classic 1930s screwball comedies with a raw, very contemporary vulnerability. It reminds us that no matter our age, experience, or wardrobe, love has a way of making fools out of all of us.Chapters00:12 Introduction to Crazy, Stupid, Love06:06 Exploring the Plot and Themes12:05 Character Relationships and Development18:10 Masculinity and Love in the Film24:05 The Makeover Trope and Its Implications33:14 Navigating Relationships and Growth34:38 The Evolution of Long-Term Relationships36:20 Understanding Relationship Dynamics38:16 Stereotypes and Relationship Expectations39:09 Behind the Scenes of Filmmaking42:15 Foreshadowing and Directorial Choices48:45 Cultural Moments in Film52:11 Influences and Inspirations in Filmmaking01:00:49 Antagonists and Character Dynamics01:04:27 Nostalgia and College Experiences01:06:48 Navigating the Film Festival Circuit01:09:23 The Fight for Attention in Film01:11:45 Personal Experiences in Storytelling01:20:11 Choosing Between Writing, Directing, and Acting01:37:01 Best Scene(s)01:45:21 Best Line(s)01:51:14 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy02:02:16 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:15:46 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:22:31 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:29:01 Final Questions and ThoughtsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/crazy-stupid-love-2011-ft-reed-arnoldFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Crazy Stupid Love, movie review, film analysis, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, romantic comedy, anniversary, movie discussion, film critique, best rom-coms, Emma Stone, discussion, romantic, comedy, film discussion, movie scenes, Hollywood, Crazy, Stupid, Love movie, podcast, podcast discussion, podcast episode, movie podcast, film podcast, rom-com, legacy, classic, rewatch, novelty, audience scoreRonny Duncan Studios

Episode 302 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast takes a look at The Wrestler. Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey break down Darren Aronofsky's 2008 sports drama starring Mickey Rourke as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, an aging professional wrestler trying to recapture the glory of his 1980s heyday while dealing with his failing health, broken relationships, and uncertain future. They discuss Rourke's career-defining comeback performance, the film's emotional portrayal of life after the spotlight, and how it captures the physical and personal sacrifices that come with professional wrestling. They also examine the film's impact on wrestling fans, the performances from Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood, and whether The Wrestler is an accurate portrayal of the business or a deeper story about regret, identity, and finding where you belong. With critical acclaim, award nominations, and a lasting legacy, does The Wrestler stand as one of the greatest wrestling movies ever made? Dive into that and a lot more!

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With WrestleMania 42 coming up this weekend, we're focusing on movies about wrestling. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “The Wrestler” from 2008 starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Mark Margolis & Ernest Miller.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.The 1990s were a golden age for legal dramas and comedies.we're stepping into the courtroom with four unforgettable films that deliver everything from shocking twists to laugh-out-loud moments. Whether you're here for high-stakes drama or sharp-witted comedy, consider this your jury duty… and trust me, you won't want to skip out on this one. Primal Fear (1996)Primal Fear is the kind of legal thriller that pulls you in immediately and refuses to let go. Richard Gere stars as Martin Vail, a slick Chicago defense attorney who thrives on high‑profile cases and the media attention. When an altar boy is accused of murdering a beloved archbishop, Vail jumps in only to find himself tangled in a case far more complex than he ever expected. The real revelation is Edward Norton in his breakout role as Aaron, the timid young defendant at the center of the storm. Norton brings a layered, unsettling vulnerability to the character. Gere, leans into the arrogance and charm that make Vail both magnetic and infuriating. Primal Fear endure is one of the decade's most satisfying legal thrillers, and a reminder of how thrilling a courtroom can be when the truth is anything but clear.A Time to Kill (1996)John Grisham adaptations were everywhere in the 90s, but A Time to Kill stands out as it questions justice, morality, and race in the South. Set in Mississippi, the story follows small‑town lawyer Jake Brigance as he defends Carl Lee Hailey, a man whose actions, while undeniably violent, raise difficult questions about justice and retribution. The case ignites racial tensions, draws the attention of the Ku Klux Klan, and pushes Jake into a fight that threatens his career, his safety, and his family.The cast is stacked: Matthew McConaughey in his first major leading role, Samuel L. Jackson delivering one of his best performances, and supporting roles from Sandra Bullock, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, and more. A Time to Kill doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, instead forcing both the characters and the audience to wrestle with them. The courtroom scenes are gripping, culminating in one of the most memorable closing arguments of the decade.My Cousin Vinny (1992)When two New York college students are mistakenly arrested for murder in rural Alabama, they call in the only lawyer they know: Vinny Gambini, a loud‑mouthed, inexperienced personal‑injury attorney from Brooklyn. Joe Pesci is perfect as Vinny, blending New York swagger, frustration, and surprising competence as he fumbles his way through Southern etiquette and courtroom procedure. But it's Marisa Tomei who steals the show as Vinny's Fiancée Mona Lisa. My Cousin Vinny is a perfect blend of comedy and courtroom drama. Behind the laughs is a a smart, well‑constructed legal story. It's a comedy that still holds up today because the writing is strong, the characters are unforgettable, and the laughs come naturally. It's a true 90s classic.A Few Good Men (1992)“You can't handle the truth!” A Few Good Men is a military courtroom drama focusing on the trial of two Marines accused in a death that may be tied to orders from higher up the chain of command. What starts as a seemingly straightforward defense case evolves into a gripping examination of authority, duty, and moral responsibility. The cast is packed with top Hollywood stars: Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, and of course Jack Nicholson as the formidable Colonel Jessup. It's a masterclass in building tension, culminating in some of the most iconic courtroom moments ever put on screen. Decades later, it remains one of the genre's defining films, and a must‑watch for anyone who loves a good legal showdown.Closing ArgumentsFrom twist‑filled thrillers to laugh‑out‑loud courtroom chaos, these four films show just how powerful courtroom movies can be. The 90s didn't just deliver great legal dramas, they gave us some of the most rewatchable, quote-worthy, and thought-provoking films of the era. The jury may still be out on which one is the best, but all four are absolutely guilty of being endlessly rewatchable.Until next time — be kind, rewind.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Moviewallas is on YouTube! Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and general banter – in theatres, on streaming, or in the back of an airplane. This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi take on two very different movies: the darkly comedic How to Make a Killing and the hugely anticipated, surprisingly emotional Project Hail Mary. Tea check: No new snacks this time – just a fresh round of tea, a little British supermarket hierarchy, and enough energy to power one very enthusiastic space-movie conversation. ⸻ Streaming Picks – “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…” Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model – Netflix Rashmi revisits the world of America's Next Top Model through this docuseries, and the group reflects on how wildly our perspective on reality TV, exploitation, and “empowerment” has changed over the last 20 years. Crazy, Stupid, Love – Netflix Yazdi goes with this slick, star-packed romantic dramedy starring Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, and Josh Groban. Contrived? Sure. Still a fun watch? Also yes. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – Netflix (coming March 20) Joe makes a rare future-facing pick, getting excited for the return of Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders universe. Here's hoping the movie has a story worthy of the comeback. How to Make a Killing John Patton Ford follows up Emily the Criminal with this dark comedy about inheritance, murder, and family dysfunction. Starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Ed Harris, the film gave the hosts plenty to chew on. Project Hail Mary This one gets a full-throated reaction. Based on the Andy Weir novel and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as a man waking up alone on a spaceship with Earth's future in his hands. Joe and Yazdi came in with serious affection for the book – and plenty of fear about how hard it would be to adapt – while Rashmi went in fresh. The result? A big, emotional, funny, visually inventive sci-fi movie that gave all three hosts a lot to talk about. ⸻ Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy spoiler-light movie conversations with strong opinions, good humor, and the occasional tea-fueled tangent.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have a busy, if not a great week, with 11 movie reviews for you. If documentaries are what you crave Steve has a trio for you with a potentially soon-to-be-outdated tale of how we're all going to die (The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptomist), one about a legendary rocker of the ‘80s (Billy Idol Should Be Dead) and another about a famed fashion designer by a Coppola or (Marc by Sofia). He also looks at the latest animated work from the creator of The Triplets of Belleville (A Magnificent Life). Marisa Tomei tries to prevent her daughter from making a big mistake (You're Dating a Narcissist!) while Julia Ducournau's latest has another mother trying to keep her daughter safe from a mysterious infection (Alpha). Steve Zahn chaperones his daughter to a dance competition (She Dances) while a group of young ballerinas try to fight their way out of a dirty European hotel (Pretty Lethal) and Zazie Beetz tries to do the same against immortal satan worshippers (They Will Kill You). Not to be outdone, a mean girl clique dabbles in witchcraft but eventually end up in Final Destination (Forbidden Fruits). Finally, Vince Vaughn tries to undo a fatal mistake in an action-comedy with a twist.

I just watched the trailer for the new movie "You're Dating A Narcissist!" and as a diagnosed narcissist, I have thoughts. Tomei plays Judy, a professor who thinks her daughter is marrying a "narc," but is she seeing real red flags or is she just projecting her own trauma?I'm breaking down the trailer, the "narc" shorthand, and whether Hollywood is finally getting narcissism right or if this is just another "Terrible Take." We're also talking about the Manosphere crossover—because the fiancé in this movie looks like he's been taking notes from the Red Pill playbook.IN THIS REACTION:The "Narc" Label: Why the shorthand used in the film matters.Marisa Tomei's Character: Is the "Narcissist Expert" actually a narcissist herself?Spotting the Groom: I'm looking for the real red flags in the trailer footage.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Bad Dads Film Review goes full courtroom chaos this week with My Cousin Vinny (1992) — the fish-out-of-water legal comedy where two broke New York kids take a wrong turn into the Deep South… and somehow end up charged with murder because of a misunderstanding that starts with a can of tuna.Sidey finally ticks off a long-standing gap (he'd never seen it), and we break down why this film still works: a tight premise, a brilliant “outsider vs small-town system” vibe, and a courtroom structure that's way smarter than it has any right to be for a broad comedy. Joe Pesci turns up looking like he's wandered in from Goodfellas in cowboy boots, tries to blag his way through Alabama procedure, and gets repeatedly threatened with contempt by an all-time stern judge (Fred Gwynne, aka Herman Munster).What we talked aboutThe opening setup: poverty-tour Americana, the road trip, and the tuna “crime of the century” that accidentally feeds the tension.Mistaken confession comedy: how the boys basically incriminate themselves… for the wrong offence.Vinny's legal “credentials”: six tries at the bar, no trial experience, and a running battle with courtroom etiquette (“judge” vs “your honour”, the suit, the procedure handbook).The judge dynamic: why Fred Gwynne is the perfect straight man and how the contempt/lock-up beats become a recurring gag.Mona Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei): the film's secret weapon — and why her role isn't just “girlfriend”, she's the brain that solves the case.Courtroom mechanics: cross-exams, witness deconstruction, and why parts of this film get referenced in law-school conversations as a simple example of dismantling testimony.The car/tire evidence: the key pivot from “they're screwed” to “hang on…” and the satisfying payoff when the story flips.Does it hold up? Runtime bloat (two hours is generous for this kind of comedy), how a lot of the plot collapses in the internet era, and why it's surprisingly not as offensively “of its time” as plenty of early-90s comedies.The Oscar chat: why Tomei winning Best Supporting Actress felt weird for a comedy… and whether it was actually deserved.Standard warning: we spoil the beats as we go, because that's the whole fun of a courtroom film.If you want a movie that's basically “competence porn disguised as a daft comedy” — where the final win is earned by actual reasoning rather than magic — this one's worth your time. (And yes: Tomei still, somehow, only gets more powerful with age.)Streaming note from the episode: available on Disney+.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Celebrities are everyday people just like us and should never be placed on a pedestal. Well, unless their oftentimes mysterious financial involvement within the dietary supplement industry is being investigated. Welcome back to Part 3! And I bet even my most avid audience members are scratching their heads (in confusion), as it's been what feels like a lifetime since my last update in 2021. But I get it…in that timeframe, the celebrity brand playbook has been completely rewritten. We aren't just looking at celebrities as being "faces" of a product anymore…we've seen a massive shift toward talent-led brands where celebrities are literally taking a seat in the boardroom. Today, three-quarters of Americans take dietary supplements…but the trend has moved beyond basic vitamins and into functional foods, functional beverages, and bidirectional beauty products. Also, success is now driven by digital platforms and community connection rather than traditional ads…as it's no longer just about looking like your favorite celebrity; it's about living like them. And over the last five years, talent-led CPG brands positioned across the categorical intersections of functional foods, functional beverages, bidirectional beauty, and dietary supplements…have surpassed several billion dollars in annual retail sales. Likewise, celebrities have continued to pour billions into these supplement industry offshoots…arguably cementing it as the official net worth growth frontier for the A-list. But for this third installment…I've uncovered a dozen more celebrities who have quietly built (or invested into) the massive supplement empires you know (and love), including Kourtney Kardashian, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Travis Kelce, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Aoki, Zac Efron, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Marisa Tomei, Joe Rogan, and Bella Hadid.

Braga, King, and Ski talk The King of Staten Island, a movie loosely based on the life of Pete Davidson, starring Davidson, Bill Burr, and Marisa Tomei. He's good at sex, bad at decision making, has ADHD, and is full of trauma. Can he move beyond his past and grow up? Is it any good? Listen!

Jonathan Lynn isn't a household name, but his precision reshaped film comedy. A Cambridge satirist before Hollywood, he built jokes like arguments—logic first, chaos second. “Clue” (1985) was a $15M ensemble farce with three valid endings, a box-office flop that became a cult classic and a film-school staple. “My Cousin Vinny” (1992) turned courtroom procedure into character comedy; its $11M budget became a $64M hit, earning Marisa Tomei an Oscar and a permanent place in law-school curricula. “Trial and Error” (1997), a $25M legal farce with Jeff Daniels, Michael Richards, and early Charlize Theron, underperformed but became a cable favorite. Together, these films show Lynn's gift: ordinary people stumbling through rigid systems, revealing the absurdity underneath. In 2025, when studio comedy leans on improv and noise, Lynn's structured, intelligent approach feels like a lost art—proof that smart comedy still matters.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

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?

Welcome to the first and last Wasted Potential Monkey Court. Shane is suing Hobo Dan and Ronnie is presiding over the case. They attempt to talk about three courtroom movies and make sense of this terrible podcast idea. And we thought the Exorcism of Emily Rose was a mess... We also try to talk about A Few Good Men. Then there is My Cousin Vinny.There is no order. No one is honorable. The monkeys are the least of our concern. What we have here is almost three hours of rambling confusion. Judge Ronnie cannot keep control of his courtroom. Shane is drunk and can't stop talking about Demi Moore and Marisa Tomei. Hobo Dan in no way suffered a concussion during the recording of this podcast. This podcast caused our editor to check himself into a 24 hour mental health facility after attempting to salvage this shit. Godspeed. And yep, that sound you hear is Ronnie and Dan constantly clicking pens on an audio recording. Jesus. If you stick around for the Bloopers, you may get a better understanding of why this all fell apart besides general incompetence. Thank you to Bailiff Korey @ Big Dumb Movie Podcast.

Frank is joined by Jamie, an Australian wrestling journalist and podcaster, to unpack Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. They break down Mickey Rourke's career-defining turn as Randy “The Ram,” why the film treats wrestling with rare respect, how indie scenes work behind the curtain, and what the movie gets right about pain, pride, and the gig life. Expect talk on blading, deathmatches, deli counters, and the bittersweet final leap. The Wrestler - CA Timestamps & Topics 00:00 Welcome and guest intro, Jamie's magazine and The Commentary Booth 01:33 Why The Wrestler, and why it treats wrestling seriously 02:21 Indie wrestling in Australia and how regional styles differ 04:27 Two-minute plot speed run for The Wrestler 06:12 Rourke's comeback, near-miss Oscar, and how his story mirrors Randy's 07:03 Aronofsky parallels with Black Swan and the “passion vs body” theme 08:46 The physical toll: pain, injuries, and why “fake” is the wrong word 10:04 Casting what-ifs and why Rourke was the right choice 11:07 Marisa Tomei's character, boundaries, and mirrored struggles 14:18 Real wrestlers on screen: Necro Butcher, Blue Meanie, R-Truth, Nigel McGuinness 15:43 Backstage authenticity: planning matches and protecting spots 16:38 Filmmaking choices: over-the-shoulder, docu feel, sound and silence 17:11 The deli counter sequence and why it hurts so much 21:16 Blading 101, when companies allow blood, and modern policies 23:05 The indie hustle: bookings, calendars, and life on the road 25:07 Health care, rehab access, and duty of care today 26:42 Drugs, CTE, and hard lessons from wrestling's past 28:46 Favorite scenes and the ambiguous ending 31:04 Locker room rituals, “match memory,” and shared shorthand 32:50 What aged well and what hits harder in the gig economy era 34:16 Deathmatch primer and recommended watch list 43:56 Awards talk, where The Wrestler ranks, and Jamie's current projects 46:04 Outro and how to send us your challenges Key Takeaways The Wrestler is a love letter to pro wrestling that treats the craft and its workers with respect. Rourke's performance lands because his real-life arc echoes Randy's fall and claw-back. The movie nails backstage realities: match planning, protecting limbs, and protecting spots. “Fake” is a myth. Stories are scripted. Physicality is very real. Aronofsky's choices — handheld camera, long silences, ring sounds — put you in Randy's head. The deli scene is a perfect “what if” path that collapses under one bad interaction. Indie wrestling is a grind: bookings, travel, day jobs, and recovery are constant tradeoffs. Modern policies are better on rehab and blood, but the culture still battles pain and risk. Memorable Quotes “It's definitely a love letter to wrestling overall.” — Jamie “The stories are fake, but the physicality is real.” — Frank “It almost feels more like a fly on the wall documentary rather than a big budget motion picture.” — Jamie “I love the ambiguity of the ending.” — Jamie “You have to survive the bad days.” — Frank Links & Resources Our site: GeekFreaksPodcast.com GeekFreaksPodcast.com is the source of all news discussed during our podcast.

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.

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. Listen to Alex & Julio question Pesci's comedic instincts and wish Bruce McGill had more screen time!TIMELINE00:01:24 My Cousin Vinny00:17:40 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about MY COUSIN VINNY?

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? But whether you love or hate the movie, how wonderful is Fred Gwynn anyway? And will Austin Pendleton ever put on a performance The Contrarians enjoy? And perhaps the biggest question: if you've already won an Oscar, haven't you already “broken through”?

Could the third time be the charm for Chris Farley on The Contrarians podcast?
