Summary
It's Jen's choice and this month she takes our intrepid film explorers on a well-trodden path through Martin Scorsese's 1990 classic GoodFellas. She's joined by resident film buff Yosra Osman and our Hannah, to talk toxic masculinity, the enduring appeal of the gangster movie, and whether or not GoodFellas still amuses them. Well does it, huh?

| 0:16.9 | So, after spending our whole working lives worse off the men through lack of pensions, |
| 0:21.6 | savings and investments, we're more likely to be worse off in retirement too. AJ Bell think |

| 0:53.9 | Money Matters helping women to feel good investing. They were three ordinary women on what seemed |
| 1:01.0 | like a simple mission to find a film they liked. One where women got something to do, |
| 1:07.9 | and not just look pretty or be murdered, which to be totally honest has complicated matters |

| 1:34.8 | hopes or agree with us wholeheartedly. It's been going quite well. All things continue, |
| 1:41.2 | especially since I just put it in those terms that seem really high-stakes. Joining me today |
| 1:45.9 | are Yosra Osman. Hello. And are Jen offered? Hello. Jen, you picked the film this month, |
| 1:55.3 | so please tell the listeners what we were watching. Okay, it was indeed my turn this month. Hurray |
