A Bronx Tale: 3 lines unmapped ×2 theme ×1

  1. unmapped (Sonny/Robert ref): A Bronx Tale → Casino. The 'wasted talent' idea sits with Leotta in Goodfellas: a new actor to root for, as with Brancato.
    “it was the same as Leota and Goodfellas, it's like, that guy's going to be a guy.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘A Bronx Tale’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Van Lathan · 0:29:36 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

Goodfellas: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Casino → Goodfellas. Casino was disappointing to some because it was not quite as good as Goodfellas.
    “And Casino had this weird thing where it wasn't quite as good as Goodfellas.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Se7en’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:23:33 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)

Killers of the Flower Moon: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (scorsese tier): Killers of the Flower Moon → Casino. Sean's first impression put it in Scorsese's second tier with the big epics.
    “this reminds me a lot of casino. It reminds me a lot of silence.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Is Astounding · 0:03:05 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Old Dogs: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Old Dogs → Casino. Joke about the kids never having seen Casino, which a speaker calls the most grown-up movie.

Seven: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): Seven → Casino. Casino was a near miss against Goodfellas, framed as 98 out of 100 versus 100 out of 100, the same tier of 1995 hall-of-famer.
    “It's like a 98 out of 100 compared to Goodfellows 100 out of 100, you know?”

The Departed: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (repeated song): The Departed → Casino. Scorsese used Gimme Shelter a third time here after Goodfellas and Casino, which they find funny and a sign of his Stones fetish.
    “Scorsese using Gimme Shelter 3rd time.”
