It’s the 30th Anniversary of the gangster classic, Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese has a long history making gangster movies. We covered his latest one, The Irishman, already but now we’re going back to cover his most famous one. It’s a wild ride, beginning with the Marty insight into the allure of the criminal underworld that you’ve come to expect and culminating in one of the all-time great scenes of chaos and paranoia. Check out the podcast to hear what we thought about it thirty years later.
Bald Move Pulp is where you can get your fix of robots, aliens, action space adventures, and everything in between; on television or on the big screen. Pulp was not made for serious drama, if that’s your thing, you might be looking for Bald Move Prestige.
It’s a big one this week. We finally get to see why Michonne is so hell-bent on keeping Alexandria isolated from the rest of the world, and it involves the murder of a bunch of children. Don’t worry, it’s tastefully done. More tasteful even, than when Jackie Chan kicked those kid asses in The Karate Kid remake.
With their mission at a dead end, Butcher has to get lucky if he’s going to try to track down Becca. A-Train gets an unwelcome surprise as Homelander tries to retake control of The Seven. Speaking of Homelander, that guys really messed up, right?! Finally, Huey, Annie, and MM go on roadtrip to find a long-forgotten super that they hope can help decide their next move.
