Have You Seen: My Cousin Vinny (1992)

from Eye of the Storm Movie Podcast · host Daniel Gawron

In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time.This week we revisit My Cousin Vinny, a comedy from 1992 directed by Jonathan Lynn and starring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei and Fred Gwynne, about two New Yorkers are accused in Alabama of a murder they didn't commit and have to rely on their inexperienced cousin Vinny to defend them in court.We talk about why My Cousin Vinny is widely regarded as one of the best comedies ever made and how it has held up in the years since, how its attention to detail and authenticity when it comes to court procedure makes the movie and shows that attention to detail makes stories and movies better, how it defied stereotypes of the time and is a more distinctive and compelling story for it, how the movie has a tight script that pays off everything it sets up and makes small details matter in its story, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast
