  By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
  An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are English philosopher and Renaissance man Sir Francis Bacon, women' s rights advocate Susan B. Anthony, Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and Greek philosopher Socrates.

  Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during 
  the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica.

  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Goodfellas is a 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the true story of Henry Hill and his life in the Mafia. The film follows Hill's rise and fall within the organized crime world, starting from his youth in Brooklyn to his involvement in major heists. It explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the brutal realities of mob life, depicting the allure and dangers of the criminal underworld. Through dynamic storytelling and intense performances, the film delves into the psychology of its characters, offering a gritty, realistic portrayal of the Mafia’s impact on individuals and families. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Joe Pesci's Oscar acceptance speech is the sixth shortest in the Academy's history. It was simply, "It's my privilege, thank you." He later admitted that he didn’t expect to win, which is why he kept it short.” 
    
  “Ray Liotta once mentioned that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were like the "glitter" of the film, while he was more like the "glue" that held everything together.” 
    
  “The film was ranked number two on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest gangster films in June 2008.” 
    
  “Initially, producer Irwin Winkler disagreed with Martin Scorsese's choice of Ray Liotta for the role of Henry Hill. Liotta convinced him in a conversation at a restaurant.” 
    
  “Robert De Niro was offered the roles of both Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito, but he chose to play Jimmy.”
