If you've hung around here long enough you know that Ron loves to talk about Goodfellas. Hell, make even an oblique reference to the 1990 Martin Scorcese mafia movie classic and Ron will go on… for hours. Finally, someone was smart enough to put a microphone in front of him, and those people have a show called Matinee Idles.
You can check out the show here.
Here's how they describe the episode:
In this episode the boys are joined by Ron Richards (of iFanboy) to discuss Martin Scorsese’s 1990 mobster classic Goodfellas starring Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci. Ron regales the boys with tales of growing up in New York, the subtle art of saying something without saying it, and how to properly stir the sauce. Topics of discussion include the brilliance of Paul Sorvino, the interesting narrative techniques, the accuracy of the locations, the representation of the Italian-American experience, the deconstruction of Mafia archetypes, and if this is the last great Scorsese film or not.

I wish I could stop reading the headline as “Ron apears on (MANITEE) Idols”. DAMN YOU SLIGHT DYSLEXIA!!!!
Wow thanks guys. Recording this was awesome and a little scary. I hope Ron didn’t give away too much and doesn’t have to have a meeting with the family.

I listen to MI all the time. Love those guys. Very funny, very entertaining, and very excited to hear Ron talk about the finer points of a nuance Pesci performance. :)
