Goodfellas: “Get to Live the Rest of my Life as a Schnook”

Goodfellas (somehow only 91 for AFI!) ends with Henry Hill eating egg noodles with ketchup like a schnook. While it's hard to sympathize with a Henry Hill, the moment probably feels real to many of us, as do the events of two other films following schnooks, The Crowd and Wendy and Lucy. Join us in this episode to hear Tim sing the praises of Goodfellas and then lead us through the somber, affecting lives of those who barely scrape by and who simply blend in with the rest of us schnooks.
