<description>&lt;p&gt;This week on &lt;em&gt;So Many Sequels&lt;/em&gt;, we dive deep into &lt;em&gt;Goodfellas&lt;/em&gt; (1990), Martin Scorsese’s iconic mafia masterpiece! As part of our Oscars Month lineup, we break down what makes this film one of the most celebrated gangster movies of all time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Joe Pesci’s electrifying performance to Ray Liotta’s unforgettable narration, we discuss the film’s legacy, its Oscar snub, and how it influenced everything from &lt;em&gt;The Sopranos&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;The Wolf of Wall Street&lt;/em&gt;. Plus, we debate whether &lt;em&gt;Goodfellas&lt;/em&gt;really glamorizes the mob life—or exposes its brutal reality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was &lt;em&gt;Goodfellas&lt;/em&gt; robbed of Best Picture? Does it still hold up today? And most importantly—should you ever call Joe Pesci funny?
