Time Bandits goes all Goodfellas on us The show nods to Scorsese's classic as the gang finds themselves in Prohibition-era NYC.
Fans of voiceover, you’re in luck: This episode has lots of it. Addressing his coal-parents, Kevin describes the innerworkings of thegang to them. “We’re not the toughest gang or the coolest or the most dangerous or the most coordinated,” he explains, “certainly not the best at stealth, or hiding…but we’re still a gang.” This voiceover accompanies sequences of the group clumsily taking and nearly dropping things from an eighth century English monastery.
These guys aren’t too scary, though, probably because they’re so frequently misunderstood. Madame Queenie’s henchmen speak in ominous “gangster talk” , but their boss doesn’t get nonliteral language, and, with the exception of Kevin, neither do the bandits. Judy thought the henchmen’s request that they go for a drive together was friendly! Bittelig thought the cement shoes they put on their feet, as they were tied to chairs, were a nice gift.
• You know who’s a legend? Akilah Green, who wrote this one. She left a career as a lawyer/lobbyist to become a writer, and has since been Emmy-nominated for her work on• Poor Widgit isn’t doing well this episode. They’re drinking and partying in a speakeasy, but he’s “got a migraine; there are too many people around, too many people to distrust.” He misses Susan, too. And he doesn’t even get to talk about it, because Penelope shuts it down.
