My Cousin Vinny, Aunt May and The Karate Kid

The Pod Charles Cinecast

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas once again find themselves in Alabama, where they watch a rookie lawyer try to win his first case – which just so happens to be a murder case, where his defendants will be executed should he lose. No pressure...

We're in Week 3 of the Courtroom section of our BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW arc, and we've made it to one of Fil's all-time favourites, the 1992 Joe Pesci courtroom comedy, MY COUSIN VINNY. With a supporting cast that includes Herman Munster aka Fred Gwynne in his final film role, Daniel "The Karate Kid" LaRussa aka Ralph Macchio, and Marisa Tomei in her Academy Award-winning role as car whiz Mona Lisa Vito, it's a super fun, smartly written, and surprisingly accurate courtroom film.

Join us, as we explore the origins of Vinny's character, casting what-ifs, discuss the Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings For You tie in album that Joe Pesci released six years later, discuss Chinese cuisine in the South and give a lot of love to Marisa Tomei and Ralph Macchio.

“What's a grit?”
