First Time Watchers - Episode 100 - Part One



First Time Watchers - Episode 100 - Part One

In which our intrepid trio celebrate the milestone of their 100th episode (and the fact that they have not killed each other yet)!

In this episode, not only do we celebrate number 100, but we also examine two of the best films of the 1990's: Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas.

In the first segment, friend of the show, JD Duran helps us break down Pulp Fiction and it's impact on cinema at the time.

In the second segment, loyal listener and constant debater, Jairo Benevides tells us why Goodfellas is his favorite film and what legacy it leaves.

Finally the three of us break down and compare the two films as well as mention some other great movies from the 1990's.
