Let's Party with Marty: A Martin Scorsese Podcast

Sarah and MJ are joined by Martin Buddery to talk about Marty's remake of Cape Fear! They discuss the knife's edge between heavy and fun in this film, Spielberg and Scorsese trading projects to get this made, oddball alternate casting choices. And, of course, the classic episode of The Simpsons.

The Night of the Hunter was chosen by Martin Scorsese as the companion film for his own Cape Fear, and we were HYPED to talk about this 1955 masterpiece.
Joining Sarah and MJ is the man who (quite literally) wrote the book on Cape Fear, Rob Daniel.

Just a trio of good fellas talking about some ... not very good fellas, but a very, very good movie. Joining us this week is podcast host and friend, Nick Mear, talking about Martin Scorsese masterpiece "Goodfellas." We talk about the film's many great moments, continue to prove that Scorsese is a feminist (yes, really), and the great injustice that it didn't win the Oscar for editing.

Our final stop on the road to Goodfellas is François Truffaut's Jules & Jim. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie it becomes abundantly clear what Martin Scorsese has lifted from it for his own picture, but there's plenty more to dive into besides that. We discuss the chaotic and interesting relationships in this movie and coin a new phrase, "Marty-splaining."

We're on the road to Goodfellas, taking a quick diversion into 1960 heist movie, Ocean's 11. Joining us for this discussion is The Man, The Myth, The Mumford, Harley Mumford from the Fandomentals podcast.
We talk about what makes a perfect heist movie, and why in this rare case, the remake is actually better than the original.
