Goodfellas
Tim’s take
He repeatedly claims the actual people from Goodfellas—Henry Hill, Paulie—lived in his hometown on Long Island, using it as proof his town was a real mafia town rather than fiction 26:27 25:12 1:00:24 29:22 4:29. This comes up almost every time he tells a childhood story, functioning less as a movie reference than as a credential 26:27 4:29.
When he does talk about the film itself, it's the standard other mob movies fail to meet: The Irishman is dismissed as a longer, worse, CGI version of a story Goodfellas already told better 25:16. He also shuts down a comic's claim that Uncut Gems is better than Goodfellas as simply "a bad take" 33:11, and even name-checks it in an aside during the Trump trial as the film any tough guy from Queens actually loves 21:40.
