Episode Date: January 8, 2026

I KNOW IT WAS YOU, FREDO!! The Godfather Part II Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ THE GODFATHER (1972) Movie Reaction: ⁠   • THE GODFATHER (1972) MOVIE REACTION! ABSOL...  ⁠ Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! ⁠https://shorturl.a⁠ Having finally seen the OG, Coy & Aaron are BACK to continue the quintessential Cinematic Crime Saga, giving their Godfather 2 Reaction, Breakdown, Recap, Analysis, Commentary & Spoiler Review! Coy Jandreau & Aaron Alexander react to The Godfather Part II (1974), Francis Ford Coppola’s landmark crime drama sequel that expands the Corleone saga into an operatic meditation on power, legacy, and moral decay. Widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels—and films—ever made, Part II deepens the tragedy of the Corleone family while mirroring past and present in devastating fashion. The film intercuts two parallel narratives: the ruthless consolidation of power by Michael Corleone (Al Pacino – Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon) in the late 1950s, and the immigrant rise of his father Vito Corleone, portrayed by Robert De Niro (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) in a career-defining performance. As Michael tightens his grip on the family empire, paranoia and betrayal corrode his relationships, particularly with Kay Adams-Corleone (Diane Keaton – Annie Hall, Something’s Gotta Give) and his brother Fredo (John Cazale – The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon). Meanwhile, young Vito’s journey from Ellis Island to the streets of New York reveals the roots of the Corleone myth and the choices that shaped it.

Citizens of the Reject Nation, we are back for the Godfather part two I had thought I'd seen the first one and then while watching it realized nope not really I'd only seen scenes this one I think I've seen even less of I don't know much about it. So this one I don't think I've seen in its entirety. I'm very excited to discover one of the great classic films, The Godfather. How are you today, Aaron? I'm feeling good, Coy. I'm feeling ready. I'm excited. I really love the first one. I thought I saw the first one, but I had only seen a little bit of the wedding scene in the beginning, so I know absolutely nothing about this one. And I'm feeling super hyped and feeling super ready. Hell yeah. How about you, man? How you doing? You know, I really love the first one, so this was immediately like, oh, excited to see it on the schedule. And I believe we're doing three.

now, which is exciting. We didn't know before because not as beloved, but we're doing the whole trifecta. So first of all, I want to thank you lovelies for checking out the first, allowing us to do the second and third in an era of copyright strikes and battling the madness of YouTube. We really appreciate it. It helps things keep going and keeps the lights on. So let's dive in without further ado into the Godfather, part two. Kissing the hand. He's on top now. Did the first one say Mario Puzas, too?

It did because I think we were both like, I'm surprised I don't know that name. Yeah. Because I always think of this as Francis Ford Coppola's the godfather, but Mario Puz is the book writer, but it's so Coppola to me in pop culture. I need to go to Sicily Oh wow

Okay interesting So a little bit of a prequel here Yeah Yeah we're following Marlon Brando's character At least at this point Oh Oh shoot

I don't know how common that was He's not dead Yeah he's still moving I guess just a 4K I don't even meant to see Wow Damn Let's just a man

Mazzazzed a minute And my mother Paolo Pachio have juret of me Have only 9 years Wow Then have a vuczani I'm in a scantor

I'll always die But my figure my My son is sick I do shushushun abatt Damn Interesting with us knowing so much about Vito later to have this Yeah, how it starts for him He's harmless

Yeah No Begging the man who killed your husband and son is brutal Yeah, you're powerless begging is all you have I just can't imagine like holding the hand of someone responsible for murdering my family that's right get his ass

oh damn go Vito she's right run little Vito dude that's crazy now he's got all the reason for revenge his mom

right in front of him his dad his brother damn the bat father she should have killed him yeah He's hiding in the shadows, isn't he? Yeah, we got to get him to America, keep him safe.

Be so intimidating, having goons like that, makes it feel like we're about to see like some sort of generational war. Yeah, I'm wondering, because obviously the kids, kid coming back for revenge and being weak and now strong we've got his son that we see as the lead and interesting does it have the legacy of that yeah the family from italy versus the italian americans yeah it'd be interesting a prequel sequel to godfather's crazy but it's also awesome because it retrospectively makes you gain more appreciation for how he rose to power movies like this movies like scarface you use you

to showcase, like, the immigrant experience and how triumphant it is. Like, that's what America, you know, should be, you know. Oh, he's sick. What is your name? Tuonome. Vido Andolini from Corleone. Colione.

Lito Collione. That's right. They used to change their names. Tell them he has small parks quarantined three months. Oh, wow. Oof. Areas, this is a favorite. it's interesting he's still like not speaking uh wonder how long that part of him is like if

something isn't inside an incident for him to speak you know obviously we know he will speak eventually but i felt like the adult version of him was also not a man of many words yeah that's true yeah nobody sings alice island 1901 What did they just say? His grandson, I think. Wow, but it's also just speaks to the fact that he came here with literally by himself. Yeah, with nothing. The definition of nothing.

It is interesting to see the difference in two generations, you know? And this is only two generations ago for us. Yeah, it's interesting to think about. I sent the car out to the airport last week to pick you up. Anyway, here I am. Just one week late. Oh, and this is for my mama. You remember Mural, don't you?

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Where's Michael? I got to talk to me. You go see your children first, and then you worry about waiting online to see your brother, like everybody else. I have here in my hand a check made out to the university, and it is a magnificent endowment in the name of Anthony Vito Carlyon. Mike, Papp, or Kay, stand up, please. Folks, I want you to join the scene and give him a little bit of father. Thank you for this. It's interesting that both movies start with, like, some grand celebration, the first one being...

The wedding and now. Yeah, the wedding, but also about, like, unionship and partnership. And this one's about generations. And in two generations, now a senator thanking them. Yeah. The mispronouncement of the name. But it's also interesting the legacy of the Corleone's stemmed from an act of violence, something that the man who killed his, he became the thing that he hated and then brought it to America. And that's what's built their legacy for them.

And the trap of it, like he was supposed to be not in this business. Like his whole thing was getting out. Carleone family has done very well here in Nevada. You own or you control two major hotels in Vegas You plan to make a move against the tropical area Tell me that within a week You're going to move Clingman out Damn

The license will still be in Clingman's name Turnbull is a good man It's cut out the bullshit I don't spend any more time here than I have to You're going to have a license Price is $250,000 Plus a monthly payment of 5% of the gross Wow

Of all four hotels, Mr. Corleone. That's so condescending. It's respectful, yeah. Now, why would I ever consider paying more than that? Because I intend to squeeze you. Oh. I don't like your kind of people. Oh.

I don't like to see you come out to this clean country in your oily hair. Wow. Dressed up in those silk suits, trying to pass yourselves off as decent Americans. Oh, you don't get yours. The fact is that I despise your masquerade, the dishonest will. You pose yourself, yourself, and your whole fucking thing. The real organized crime, or the other side of organized crime. So let's just say that you'll pay me because it's in your interest to pay me.

But I want your answering the money by noon tomorrow. Don't you contact me again ever? Now you deal with Turnbull. Ooh, you're lucky to sell that finger. For now. You can have my answer now, if you like. I expect to give you guys when it's a hard no. My offer is this, nothing.

Oh. Not even the fee for the game. license if you would put up personally i wonder if it's going to be the crime family versus the government because that's you know its own form of organized crime like if it's going to be that organized crime versus the because like you just said it's all the same hypocrisy you remember willie chichie me was an old man clemenza and bookie that guy might just actually be drunk Yeah, no, I'm impressed with the acting or the amount of drunk

Yeah The casino you're interested in The registered owners are Jacob Lawrence, Alan Barclay Both Beverly Hills a turn If you move Klingman out Our friend in Miami will go along You tell him

That's greatly appreciated Hmm On Europe past week I'd like to book passage on the queen So what do you come to me for Why don't you go to a travel agent We're getting married first Ah, no mind

You know your oldest boy Victor Was picked up in Reno For some petty theft You don't even know about Fly around the world with men who don't care for you and use you like I'm not my father What do you come to me for?

I need money Wow Why don't you tell her marriage It's out of the question And you don't want to see him anymore He'll understand, believe me I'm guessing she got married again After they killed her husband

Yeah In between the movies And there's yet another If you don't listen to me Married this man You'll disappoint me Ha ha ha ha Just share respect

In room the copy vanjazz Came here to drink. Oh, come on, guy. Oh, Lord. Dancing is one thing you're falling all over the floor. Oh, I don't know what's the matter with you. You're just because she's a real mad. Oh, wow.

You couldn't bet your mom. Uh. Uh. Michael says that if you can't take care of this. Uh-oh. The tension's great. Oh. Oh, I want to report the name of Coleone.

You always have to respect these cozy of family. Hmm. Hmm. All these different car, no manja, Las Vegas, and no man in Miami. Conheim and Roth.

You're a good old man. Mm. I want to earn my family without you on my back. And I want those Rosado brother's dead. No. Mote.

All these different conflicts of interest coming to a head. Now I have business. that's important with hyman roth i don't want it disturbed and you give you loyalty to a jew before you your own blood your father respected hymen roth but your father never trusted hymen ross a little just for days it's interesting to see clearly a powerful man in that position juxtaposing his style but understanding how they're both at a conflict the same man it's a really interesting scene because usually don't see men in that way in that power

I'm sorry about all the people today. It made me think of what you once told me. In five years, the Carleone family will be completely legitimate. That was seven years ago. Damn. I'm trying, dog. We've got two more years, darling. No, he's two years overdue.

Oh, two years overdue. Oh, yeah, yeah, right, my head. Math. Oh. Whoa. Wow That was legit not expecting that. That's usually always so telegraphed. That was incredible You safe, you're safe? I love that he crawled over and pulled her off the bed. That was actual heroism

Wow It's war Who did this? Damn, at least the hounds. Look at that setup, that fortress. Once again, seeing why he would not want to live this way, as much as the glamour and power and opulence, but at any given moment.

Someone could try to pop you. At this moment, you're the only one I can completely trust. Hmm. I hope so. Fredo, he's got a good heart, but he's weak, and he's stupid. Damn I always wanted to be thought of as a brother by you Like a real brother

Man the darkness in his eyes Versus the beginning of the first movie The Difference and Just Persona What Wow What I think has happened Has happened I'm gonna leave you tonight

I give you complete power time Rocco Neri everyone I'm trusting you with the lives of my wife Whoa Wow That's huge That is his brother

All our people are businessmen Their loyalty's based on that Hmm One thing I learned from pop Was to try to think As people around you think Now on that basis anything's possible The glint in his eyes

The lighting is so good Whoa Oh dang We're still dealing with her? Oh my gosh We won't get anything out of them now Fish him out Patch him up resuscitate them

when you need answers Give me my answers Then you have permission to die Yeah I mean with them dead he's right though It had to be an inside job or more than likely now I'm going to leave in a hurry only tomorrow Will you take me No I can't happen

What do you have to go I was after the business I could help you Hmm The power of a namesake is so interesting too Because I remember how powerful that was in the first film When they said his name was Vito then we met Vito in the beginning of this

and now seeing little Anthony Vito and the weight of that and knowing the weight of the legacy on him and knowing that is eventually the legacy of him yeah like everything we're seeing him do is because of his father hey Bobby De Niro Hey

oh is this yeah yeah cool 17 oh dual stories so De Niro plays young Brando fascinating that's awesome but again the legacy of the name the this is a really cool way to do a narrative yeah normally I'm loving that this is a story

about fathers and sons oh We'll go see a backstage. Damn, right, we're going to finish the show. It's rude, guys. We're about to see who done is. About to see who Don is. She'll like my angel does nothing?

Walks away, man, crazy. The hell is it? Gun, it sounds like something metal. It doesn't look like guns from the outside. No, it's only big, but what the hell? Wow. Wow, damn. Yeah, with someone powerful like that, there's no one with a check of me.

You can essentially do anything you want. Just keep changing the rules. Oh, man. To keep you. yeah that sucks. That sucks. Wow. This is a good dude. He's like, listen, I understand. Yeah, we're definitely going to see every reason for him to be against the black hand is just mounting up, and he's the current dawn, like his assent to power. Vito was truly an anomaly of the gangster

That's so hardwarming Oh Wow What a man There's a man There's a man There's a man Yeah, but in a house

We have money to pay a tapporteur Weido have a bagatari to Oh A favor? Oh, I know you'd return the favor, yeah. How are they acquiring this rug? Yeah. Minkia.

Maka chattchia. Uh-huh. Also kind of like Al Pacino in the first movie, it's interesting. young De Niro so understated Yeah Yeah playing it Quiet playing it

Very subdued Still tons of presence Like obvious movie star Man was not even asking about a rug Just breaking into a house Stealing a rug I learned recently

Those things are called sconces Yeah Wall sconces Yeah Oh is it the police Oh shit Oh shit I hope they

put the table back exactly where it was to confuse them did we ever even have a rug? What happened? They took just a rug?

Damn. Baby's just learning how to baby. Yeah. Man, cars used to have so much flair. Yeah, man. They were

style and purpose. Yep. Now I get the the cyber truck which is the restaurantification of cars. The late stage

capitalism of simple gray and boxiness gross man flair hyman's in there I was just making some lunch

would you like a tuna sandwich no thank you such a different vibe than his estate Frank Pantangeli came to my home

and he asked my permission to get rid of the result of him when I refused he tried to have me killed he was stupid I was lucky I'll visit him soon

he was stupid I was lucky I'll visit him soon The important thing is that nothing interfere with our plans for the future. Yours and mine. Nothing is more important. You're a wise and considerate young man. As much I can learn from you.

Whatever I can do to help, Michael. Hi man, you're going to break your beard run. Oh, interesting. Yeah, the old TV trays. Yeah, I remember those. My grandparents had them. What we'll do together in the next few months make history, Mark. It's never been done before.

Not even your father. would dream that such a thing could be possible and pentangelo is a dead man you don't have such a piercing stare you're saying that earlier right yeah love his look you heard what happened in my home like I almost died myself

it was also relieved in my home in my bedroom where my wife sleeps we just got chills yeah he's incredible where my children come and play with their toys he's like let's cut the bullshit I know it's you

it was Hyman Roth that tried to have me killed oh i know what was in jesus christ mike what's your game jesus christ look let's get them all let's hit them all now why we got the must i was very happy that this house never went to strangers he's so intense now if hyman wroth sees that i interceded in this thing and there was auto brother's favor he's going to think his relationship with me is still good i got to eat but i'm completely relaxed and he's confident in our friendship, and I'll be able to find out who the traitor in my family was. Yeah, you've got to take out the right inside. You can't risk just, like, taking out the guy that

ordered it, and then you've got someone in your house, and that's going to be a liability later. What are you calling me here for? I don't want to talk to you. You intentionally set up a meeting with the Rosado brothers. He says he's going to go for that deal. I don't know. I don't know anything. Got me in deep it up already. Hmm. What we want to know is if he's on the level, work is for the biggest boys. You guys lied to me. I don't want you to call me anymore.

Your brother's not going to find out we to him. We're all real happy about the decision, Frankie. You're not going to regret it. I don't like the scene of Rosetta. I take that as insult. I feel bad things. Yep. No.

Oh, what an awful way to go. Yeah, I saw that coming. as soon as he walked in there what's the matter is that something on a floor oh it's interesting like Coppola I like that

punch in the first one but like the editing style so different because it's film and the size of the cameras and stuff but the the intensity is different too in a good way like the intensity's going to be it to cut differently for the action yeah I thought I could help you send it then when I woke up I was in the floor and I don't know how it happened you can't remember I passed out oh wow what a reveal damn What do you mean? You don't know how it happened? I don't know, and I don't understand why I can't remember.

You don't have to remember, just do as I say. Putting a call into your office. I'm assuming they drugged him, killed her, and now they've got the leverage, but man. Tomorrow afternoon. Poor woman's the cost. I do remember that she was laughing. We've done it before. And I know that I could not have hurt.

Nobody knows that she worked. It would be as though she never existed. Oof. All of us left is off. And now the casino deal goes through. Man, that's brutal. This is Michael's request for your safety. Now we can stand out for anything that you need.

I see. I'm supposed to stay in my house. You think Michael had direct involvement in that girl's murder? Tom, I was going to take the children. Yeah, I do. I was wondering if maybe someone under him, like, you made that happen. No, I think, I mean, he's leveraging everything to get this deal to go through

so they're legitimate. Like, it's going to legitimize the family when the casino's yeah so i think he's willing to do anything and that woman working at his brother's hotel that has no family is the perfect way to get leverage on the senator he said that they're making arrest and then a few men see then is too and quackish give us a bandi son of agenda of police see oh oh whoa what the hell damn shit sure that everybody sees the cake before we cut it. Pass the cake, one by one.

Like the gold phone. When a man comes to this point in his life, he wants to turn over the things he's been blessed with, turned him over to friend for the friends he's had, and to make sure. 67. And we can thank our friends in the Cuban government, which has put up half of the cash

with the Teamsters on a dollar for dollar basis. Wow. What I'm saying is that we have now what we have always needed, real partnership with the government. smaller piece. Wow. You all know Michael Corleone, and we all remember his father.

At the time of my retirement, I turn over all my interest in the Havana operation to his control. Man. All of you will share. The Nacional will go to the Lakeville Road Boys. And we've saved a piece for some friends in Nevada to make sure that things go smooth back home.

Like, he getting distracted by how deep his polo goes? It's a deep polo. It's a deep polo. It is a belly polo. i love him giving out pieces of his life while giving up pieces of cake yeah such a great visual a rebel was being arrested by the military police and rather than be taken alive he exploded a grenade he had hidden in his jacket killed himself and he took a captain of the command with him what does that tell you they could win hmm we were running molasses out of vana when you were a baby the trucks

owned by your father michael okay interesting so we're not too far off in the past from him acquiring power one small step looking for a man that wants to be president of the united states having the cash to make it possible michael we're bigger the u.s. steel wow trader fredo over here looking like the leader oh excuse me no my family's making an investment in havana anybody i know in havana i'm in roth johnny olum i never met them It doesn't like the guy behind him. Kind of nervous from the trip. Can I get a drink or something?

I thought maybe we'd go out together. Sometimes I think I should have married a woman like you did. Our mama used to tease me. She'd say, you don't belong to me. You're left on the doorstep by gypsies. Sometimes I think it's true. Damn, I always felt like a reject of the family. Mikey, I was mad at you.

Might to confess? Yeah. Why didn't we spend time like this before? You want a drink, right? Waiter. I think he was about to. Uh, for favor, how do you say banana daffery? Banana daughery.

Uh, uh, uno banana daquery. Ooh, that slight changes his face. That was so subtle, it's so good. So telling. Later on in the evening, we're all invited at the presidential palace reception, bringing the new year. Before I reach my hotel, I'll be assassinate.

It was Roth who tried to kill me in my home. Hmm. He acts like I'm his son. His successor. But he thinks he's going to live forever. He wants me out. That's a clever. detail of not eating too much of the cake and stuff

talking about 20 more years how can I help you just go along as though you know nothing time when you are from never see the new year I thought it was clever that he would never eat too much of the cake no the time off yeah his birthday cake you're pulling out just want to wait there was this kid who was younger than me we ran molasses

into Canada made a fortune your father too later on he had an idea build a city that kid's name was Mo Grie and the city he invented was Las Vegas This was a great man. Mo Green invented Las Vegas.

And there isn't even a plaque or a signpost or a statue of him in that town. Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen. I didn't ask. Take a nap. When I wake, the money's on the table.

I'll know I have a partner. But isn't, I'll know I don't. All right, so everybody know everybody here, huh? Senator Geary, you know him. Oh, it's good to see you, Mike. Glad we can spend this time together. Right to Senator Peyton from...

Very different energy. Mm-hmm. How do you do, sir? Fine, thank you. The Rene from Maryland. Mike, I've been looking for it. A lot of senators. All from UTT.

I know, Fred. A lot of power. You don't know my brother Fredo, do you, Johnny. Johnnyola? Fredo. We never met. Johnnyola. Pleasure.

Hmm. Yeah. See the shame in his face. Happy New Year Happy New Year Just like the first movie It's so good at building tension And knowing just enough of what each character's goals are

Watch You're not gonna believe this What the fuck What the hell is this? This is definitely some secret rich people shit Oh man Roth had never come here But old Johnny knows these places like the back of his hand

right what did he say that was a tell he said he didn't he never met johnnyola and he just said johnnyola knows all the places here i'd never bubble bubble all right you gotta keep your lives intact man and now he knows Johnny goes first though sleep

he reminds me of current day salone still alone I wonder if he had anything to do with that Or if it's just age catching up Makes me think was Slow never in any of mom movies I don't think he was This walk

An intense walk I don't know Let us know guys Tulsa King looks mobish Yeah Where you going I'm gonna get me a real drink Because I can

Uh-oh. Oh, man. He got bad fast. Also interesting, the parallel of the first movie, how the dawn was in the hospital and now he's doing it. And now, yeah, that's a good point. Oh, who-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-oh. Damn. Backfired.

How easily can they trace that hitman back to Michael, though. There's a plane waiting for us to take us to Miami in an hour, all right? Don't make a big thing about it. I know it was you, afraid of. Ooh. You broke my heart. Ooh. Wow

Jesus I wish you all kind of interesting we haven't been back to New York at all in New York at all Yeah De Niro yeah Ruff is dead Trayton come with me You're still my brother, Greta!

You're dead either way, dude. He said I'll take my chances. Man. Give me a wet towel, can't know him back? What about my boy? Did you get him something for Christmas? I took care of it. What was it so I know?

Well, it was a little car with an electric motor that they can ride. It's nice. So couldn't tell if he actually killed Roth or he got caught right before he's about to. I don't think either was dying, but yeah, I think it was right after. Ross got out in a private boat. He's in the hospital in Miami. Oh. Yeah.

Your bodyguards dead. I asked about Fredo. And I think he got out. He must be somewhere in New York. I want you to get in touch with him. Well, there was something else. What? Come on, what.

Kay had a miscarriage. She lost the baby. Oh. Was it a boy? Mikey after three and a half months. Now can't you give me a straight answer anymore? Wasn't a boy? I really don't know.

I wonder if they could tell that early back then. That's what he was trying to say. We can go back in a minute. What tradition of that? That's not how you'd fix pneumonia, but in the time. What the hell were they doing? Some not-so modern medicine, I guess, trying to extract from the lungs. I'd just pull, I don't know.

For the flaming thing on a baby's chest? What the hell? This guy. Wow. I like that his throat's already been slit and he survived. He's got a scar. I got a good call. I like to Nirozziro's little detail of doing like the scratching thing that Marley did you do.

Yeah, Brandon, yeah, good catch. If you have to sit down, because you, you know, she wants to pay to Fanoci, and you guarantee to give you to see big, you know, yo. Make him an offer can't refuse. It's interesting. But just to record that you Fiscian a pleasure. It's interesting to see how he

leverages power, even in small ways than it, like, growing it and still the honor and all those things, the loyalty, but leverage. Like, remember I did you a favor, even amongst his two guys. Spitting the business of favors for a long time. Yeah.

Like how skeezing the scars and details, but also like off, but he don't refuse. Hey, there it is. Damn, we can tell that quickly, huh? Technically 150. Oh, no, I guess 100 because of the two guys. Yeah, he didn't want, not his. He gave him a little money, but he respects him for showing up on a money. Gave him a little money, but he respects him for showing up with something.

And for the balls to even try to negotiate. Yeah, starting the conversation. interesting imagery of like paying your figure of power to let you go on yeah he is god of these streets there's your money guy yeah I don't see the De Niro moment of like I don't see this guy I don't see this guy lasting long because he wasn't flexible and he's not going to want to owe him more money I also like how he's the only one in white Oh, the only man and white to signify power. And almost all of his scenes, too.

Yeah. Also, it always has two blazers for some reason. You know, it's a, I remember that being a style, like in old photos. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the gangster look back then. Ah, yeah. Hmm. I guess it is more of a coat than a blazer.

I use sing, inscribed coats. Oh, what you doing there? Turn the lights off. Give him the advantage. I'm trying to use as a silencer. Yeah, that's a hell of a silencer. Wow, the way the shadows perfectly over his eyes. Clever.

Oh, interesting, yeah. Oh, look at that shot. Ooh. Damn. In the cheek. Yeah. Oof. Double tap.

You gotta make sure there he goes. Whoa. Well time. He's gonna take his money back. Damn. Damn. That was a double tap. Yep.

Shit. So confident and cocky. Didn't even bother with security. I wonder if that was one of the guns that his neighbor tossed him. So now he was like, screw it and give it all back. Yeah. He had a bunch of guns on hand for a while. Oh, interesting.

Get rid of the evidence. A very different time. Intermission. Oh, all right, well. This is where I could have peed. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense for this longer movie, but I also love that that's where they choose that moment of after that little De Niro.

Go consult your wife, man. No. You're an employee of the Janko olive oil company? That's right. Oh, the guy, they're going to hit by the car. But in actuality, you remember the Corleone crime organization. We called it the family. What was your position?

Interesting. I was a soldier. The family had a lot of buffers. Mr. Chichi, you may find this very amusing, but I promise you the members of this committee do not. Interesting. Yeah, he said he'd get hit by a car? That was the guy that earlier got hit

when that was the big cop shootout earlier than that. Because I remember he, I thought he looked like a stereo like he looks like a caricature of that time. Yeah, interesting that he's at testifying against the...

Yeah, I mean, I think it might end up being the, you know, government versus them like we thought in the beginning and then we didn't think for a while, now it's back. Mount clocked immediately. Oh, I was getting into the self we know

Evolving into the self we know. No, it's my pleasure. No, no, it's my pleasure. It's a good idea of this. I can't use to help to change in a house if you evolve. It's like an early version of what we saw at the wedding. Cruel. Cruel.

Yeah, I've seen a house. I'm nother family. Mm. Cruel. And I'm going to try and down

to stay and I want to stay, huh? Yeah. What do you to say to tell to me to your

and to me should do you and do you say what I'm doing? I'm saying Benadigue. I'm sorry.

Ha ha ha ha. He gangsters for good. Gangsters for good. Yes. Leverage clout for the little old woman. Yeah. Always sitting behind the desk, having people come into him. I just have people come into them.

What happened between this? He heard who he is. He was asking about the him. He is right. He's counting it for him. It's awesome. The rent stays like a before. There you go.

Anz, I'll leave. Ha ha ha ha ha. There you go. Oh no, more. Thank you. Grazie. Grazie. Grazie.

A natace of coffee. I got to leave while I'm in his good graces. I got to leave while I'm in his good graces. He's flustered. He's so tickled by it. Man, what kind of reputation has you built in that time between killing the old dog? Got his money back, got a deduction. There's a sandwich place I love called Ilvinio and Tico, and it's Italian sandwiches,

and every scene with a sign makes me want those sandwiches. Man. But thinking about it, this whole movie. However, it's chairman, and at this time, unfortunately, I have to read these proceedings. These hearings on the mouth are in no way whatsoever, a slur upon the great Italian people. Because I can state from my own knowledge and experience that Italian Americans are among the most loyal, most law-riding, patriotic, hard-working American citizens in this land. Oh, how's that blackmail?

Yeah, right? Waves. The witnesses testified that you are personally responsible for the murder of a New York City police captain in 1947. Oh, yeah. You deny this? Yes, I do. The Navy Cross for actions and defense in my country. I have never been arrested or indicted for any crime whatsoever.

Smart to get all this out there, and I like the detail about the stocks. in legitimate companies, too. I have not taken refuge behind the Fifth Amendment or it is my right to do so. To clear my name with the same publicity with which they now have mismatched it. They got one witness. Yeah.

The committee will stand in recess until 10 a.m. Monday morning and which time the committee will produce a witness will corroborate the charges which are made against you today. I remind you that you're still under subpoenas. Yeah, some tells me that witness ain't long for this world. I love that guy's going to make it. Yeah, I know. Sound like my bookie.

How that monkey in my life. Surprise you made it, man. You're going to look respectable for 50 million of your fellow Americans. It totally is. I just can't quite. The focus is off because he's so far. Come on, I saw this. I saw this for 19 times.

You got a great home here, Frankie. The rest of your life. Nobody gets near you. You're not going anywhere. Oh, that's great. I don't trust it. I'll get the hands on. Yeah, I was wondering how...

He engineered it, Michael. Frankie went to make a deal with the Rosado brothers, and they tried to kill him. Couldn't kill him. so he's taking him out another way. The FBI has the May of Tyke. It's on an army base, 24-hour guards. You've opened yourself to five counts of perjuring.

What about for you? What does he know? He says he doesn't know anything. Like if. I didn't think we'd see him in the same room together. Yeah, I'm the same. I guess I just, they got him off screen. Is anything you can help me out with?

You got potentially, that's all I can tell you. I swear to God, I didn't know what's going to be a hit. What did you expect? Johnny Ola bumped him to me. He said, that you and Roth were in on a big deal together. I can handle things. I'm smart.

Get up by portraying your brother. Is there anything you can tell me about this investigation? Anything more? Prove you're smart. Oh, damn. I don't want to know you. Sheesh. I want to see at the hotels.

I don't want you near my house. Wow. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance so I won't be there. Damn. You understand? that's the kindest thing you can do at this point yeah he's not killing him that's a lot he's been like vanquished like it's so a man that exile yeah that's the word i was looking for more people on a ballgame that look yeah man this witness has had no buck man

as the godfather because they're so well cast they look like people that would be sitting in a Senate meeting I don't know Godfather

what oh I got my own family senator oh wow were you at any time a member of a crime organization

headed by Michael Corleone I don't know nothing about that I was in the olive oil business with his father but that was a long time ago that's all what happened so I saw

made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone because that's what they wanted but it was all lies wow Michael Corleone did this and Michael Corleone did that so I said yeah sure I like him he's in the back of the frame yeah would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left I can't answer that his name is Vincenzo Pintan he is I believe brother oh oh that's how he came at his own expense to aid his brother in his time of trouble he's not under subpoena and his reputation in his own country is him and that's why he looked afraid yeah that's how he gets home yep threaten his brother just by existing sheesh yeah because when he showed up i was like have we seen this guy yeah that's amazing the children are outside

we're going what do you're going we're all going to leave tomorrow uh Rocco i'll be in my room like oh she's leaving you going michael i'm not going back to nevada i brought the children to say goodbye to you what is he going to be like without family i want you to know i'm very happy for you i suppose i always knew you were too smart to let any of them ever beat you no can't have it all man broke your promise to her she wanted you to go to legitimate or you are corrupt in the system or abusing it yeah i think it's too late for changes michael i promised myself i wasn't going to say anything and now i mean too late oh man what really happened was pentangely michael his brother

helped him i didn't even know he had a brother and where is he now he's on a plane back to sicily all he had to do was show his face it was between the brothers came i had nothing to do with it lies i don't want to hear about it i don't want to hear about it damn at this moment i feel no love for you at all. Oh. I never thought that would ever happen, but it had. That hurts. This is where you tell her

about your first wife. She blew up. I loved her more. Came back to you in a second, you know, what are you going to do? Leftovers. We're going to leave tomorrow. Why don't you take the kids back to their room? Michael, you haven't heard me.

What do you want from me? Sheesh. Do you expect me to let you go? Do you expect me to let you take my children from me don't you know me don't you know that that's an impossibility that that could never happen that I'd use all my power to keep something like that from how in time you feel differently you'll be glad I stopped you now how warm her shot is and how cold his is I know that I know you blame me for

losing the baby yes I know what that meant to you I'll make it up to you okay couldn't even just comfort her man yeah that seems so cold I'm gonna change I've learned that I have the strength to change and you'll forget about this miscarriage and we'll have another child and we'll go on. Jeez. Michael, you are blind.

Yeah. It wasn't a miscarriage. It was an abortion. It was an abortion. Ooh. Just like our marriage is an abortion. Damn. Something that's unholy and evil.

Damn. Oof. I didn't want your son, Michael. I wouldn't bring another one of your sons into this world. Yikes. It was a son, a son, and I had it kill because this must all end. Oh, wow.

Oh, the rage in his eyes. It was trembling of his lips. There would be no way, Michael. No way you could ever forgive me. Wow. Not with this Sicilian thing that's been going on for 2,000 years. I knew that was going to happen. I felt it.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Christ. Across the room. You won't take my children. I will. You won't take my children. Yeah, I don't know Man, Pacino's intensity in this is incredible.

Yeah, man. This, like, left like a viper across a room. That was crazy. Yeah, I never seen something like that. In the same shot, any? Yeah, I don't know how they did that. I'm sure they dubbed in the sound, but that leap and contact was intense.

Yeah. Yeah, it's also... Yeah, it's also, again, interestingly timed, like the rise of the father, a couple with the fall of the sun. Yeah, they're doing a really good job with these prequel, sequel, but thematically tying them together. It'd be interesting to watch this as like a one, two, three, like this before Godfather won, and then all the Pacino stuff. Yeah, and edit where it's chronological, for sure. Yeah, it'd be super interesting. I wonder if that exists, like Tofer Grace's Star Wars, like someone like...

Yeah. No, I'm wondering how much of this, because this is a three hour plus movie, but how much of the past stuff is enough to make its own feature film? Feels like the past is like a third. Yeah. I would say, yeah, like someone between 30, I'm 40 to like an hour of the film maybe. Yeah, depending. I mean, we're now in the last hour.

And I definitely think there's been a substantially less de Nero. For sure, yeah. He's almost full brando. We'd just get those cotton balls in his cheeks. He's the guy right there. Look at those barrels. God damn. Sheesh.

And I have to imagine his partner doesn't know, and I have to imagine his partner doesn't know, and he wouldn't know because he changed his last name. Yeah. He's going to take his empire. He's going to take his empire. I hope he gets his, uh, Princess Bride moment. I hope he gets his, uh, Princess Bride moment. Benarito, how do you call?

I call him Vito Corleone. Mmm. You picked a name of this country, ah? Oh Antonio Andolini He said Antonio Andolini Antonio Andolini

He kissed to a peti Oh Wow Okay, he did know That guy knew He knew Oh blew under him, shot the ground underneath them.

Damn. I've never seen somebody sliced across like that. Yeah, you ain't safe no more, buddy. Yeah, that was, yeah. As long as mom lives, he'd be all right. Hi, how you can I speak for a second time? Downways, Mike, waiting for you to leave. Oh, yeah, that's right.

talk with him sorry if they don't know James can I see him bull house ha ha ha ha Michael it's coming wow look at that image of him can beautiful yeah and then his eyes in the shadows pure silhouette and darkness Michael I like to stay close to home now it's all right is K coming yeah not surprised Michael Freed is in the house with mama he asked for you and Tom said you wouldn't see him that's right kids why don't you go outside for a while Oh. Michael, I hated you for so many years.

I think that I did things to myself, to hurt myself so that you'd know. Oh, yeah, that's right. And I could hurt you. You were just being strong for all of us the way Papa was, and I forgive you. Yeah. Can't you forgive Fredo? He's so sweet and helpless without you. Ooh.

You need me, Michael. I want to take care of you now. like this is the pan over yeah like he's a total country out yep man oh just holds him yeah that's intense our friend and business partner

hymen Roth is in the news hear about it I hear that he's in Israel the high court in Israel turned down as a request to live there as a return He's that's been invalidated, except for returns to the United States. He landed in Buenos Aires yesterday. He offered a gift of a million dollars if they let him live there.

He's that scared as he should be. He's gonna try Panama. Panama won't take. Not for a million, not for 10 million. His medical condition is reported as terminal. He's only to live another six months anyway. I've been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years. A plane goes to Miami.

It's where I want it met. Mike, that's impossible. They'll turn him over directly to the internal revenue, customs, and half the FBI. It's not impossible. Nothing's impossible. It would be like trying to kill the president. There's no way we can get to it. Tom, you know, you surprise me.

If anything in this life is certain, if history's taught us anything, it says you can kill anyone. They've had this orange as like a running thing throughout the film. And remember someone told us the orange pre-death, but this apple, like, isn't that what De Niro bought from the guy? And then now this orange was what was offered earlier. He's like a Miami orange. And then he's eating an apple. That's the same style of apple as the... I don't know if I'm misreading this fruit,

but I think these fruits are important. Pre-death orange. Yeah. You were moving your family to Vegas and you can offer the vice presidency of the house and hotel there. Thought you can tell me that. I turned them down.

I mean, we'll have to tell you about every offer that I turned down. Stupid. All right. Just consider this, Michael. That's all. Just consider it. Yeah.

Now, Roth and the risadas are on the run. Are they worth it? Are they worth it? Is it worth it? I mean, you've won't want to get, we don't want to get reckless. I don't see you. I have to wipe everybody.

out just my enemy it's easy simple you're gonna come along with me and these things i have to do or what because if not you can take your wife family and your mistress oh why do you hurt me michael i've always been loyal to you i mean what is this i'm gonna uh to stay see your style yeah what it is it that you want me to do hey anthony how'd you like it if i how'd you like it if i taught you how to catch the really big fish would you like that he's so vengeful but then again his dad did wait all those years and go back to italy to kill that guy come why do i I do now. Thank you.

You were always interested in politics, history. I remember you talking about Hitler back in 33. Hmm. Yeah, still read a lot. I got good stuff in there. You were around the old-timers who dreamed of how the family should be organized. Interesting. The capos and the soldiers.

And it worked. It worked because of the great old days. It's crazy. That was only a generation or two ago. Yeah, man. And we was like the Roman Empire. Correone family was like the Roman Empire. And then people looking at Rome.

it was once on a plot against the emperor failed the plotters were always given a chance let the families keep their fortunes yeah but only the rich guys Tom the little guys they got knocked off and all their estates went to the emperors unless they went home and they killed themselves

and nothing happened that's what he's offering their families were taken care of Tom it was a good break nice dude yeah they uh they went home and sat in the hot bath opened up their veins split to death

and sometimes they had a little party before they did it Yeah Don't worry about anything Frankie five minutes Thanks Tom Wow That was a really powerful

This guy's such a good actor Hey you have to go So pretty Perry please hurry he's coming Anthony kiss mama goodbye They're so scared of them Yeah. Hey, please.

Cheese. Anthony, Anthony, please. Kiss me once. Mm. Damn. Wow. So cold.

Man. So I'm assuming the brother's going to say, Hail Mary him and be fed to the fishes. I think he's about to be eating with the fishes. But maybe he makes it to three. Maybe. I mean, he wouldn't do it in front of his kid. Yeah, no

Anthony He's here We're going fishing No Michael wants to take him To Reno now Okay kid

You got to go to Reno With your pop That's it You will not Oh shit Oh shit he's like no you stay I'll catch one for you

How are they going to get to him here? Yes, I understand. Can you give you your reaction to the High Court of Israel's ruling? Nope. I'm a retired investor on a pension. I went to Israel because I wish to live there as a Jew in the twilight of my life. How are they going to get to him here? Hey, Frankie, come out.

This plays of my hearts. Frankie? Oh, he gone. Oh Yeah Is it true you're worth over 300 million dollars mr rod? I came home to vote in the presidential election Ooh

It's my friend Carl and Ray. Oh, you know, for him. Oh, you know, sure, I'm not you. Jeez. Here's my stepbrother, Tom.

That's his girl, Teresa. That's cute little thing over here. This is my sister kind of is telling you about, huh? Yeah. Say a little to Carl. It's good looking, isn't he? Yes. It's unused footage from the first one?

I'm wondering, yeah. I mean, they look markedly younger. Go out. And the aging obviously wasn't a thing. No. Just draw in the frame. Tom has more hair, so. Yeah.

Yeah. Also, he looks, everyone looks significantly younger. But Sheena does look younger and happier. Oh, I mean, that's nice, eh? Yeah. Sonny, come on, don't touch the antipasto till pops, he's not ugly. Well, I guess on the bright side of this scene,

if you were to look at the IMD, you wouldn't know Sunny died in the first one. That's true. Making us remember how good things were in the era of the original dawn. Yeah. How happy they are. are a rise and fall of Rome.

They got no right dropping bombs. What are you? A jack lover or something on their side? Yeah. I understand 30,000 men enlisted this morning. Watch your saps. We don't have to talk about the war. Hey, B, you talk to Carl, right? It's crazy. Only two of the men at that table are left.

Yeah, exactly. Rise and Fall, that's it. There's saps, because they risked their lives for strangers. Oh, that's pop talking. You goddamn right, that's pop talk. It risked their lives for that country. Yeah. Country ain't your blood. You remember that.

I don't feel that way. Well, if you don't feel that. feel like that when you just quit college and go to join the army damn i did i enlisted in the marines oh like you why why didn't you come to us i mean pop had to pull a lot of strings to get your deferment i didn't ask for a deferment i didn't want it man sonny punk son sonny sit maro you go on sit up of course you'll call on a tree interesting because the movie picks up from him coming back from military so huh i mean the wigs and stuff maybe they did shoot this for this one.

Nice. Thank you for this hard on his birthday. Yes, well, Mike. Congratulations. That's right. Encourage. Huh. Go on, give me a drink.

What? You don't understand. Father has plans for you. Many times. Oh. He and I've talked about your future. Talk to my father about my future. My future.

Mikey, he has high hopes for you. I have my own plans for my future. Or did you go to college. You get stupid. He really stupid. He's here. Come on. Interesting.

Come on, come on. It's still. Wow. It's so interesting showing a scene like this. It takes place before the first movie, but obviously after the prequel stuff. Yeah, it's so interesting to see him, not rebelling, but being his own man and the cost of that,

but also it ties into the whole Roman metaphor. Much older. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's gray's now. Wow, don't read that. I mean, it makes sense. Yeah. Man.

That was the Godfather part two. We have just finished. We have just finished the Godfather part two. What an experience. What emotion picture. I want to thank... I'm going to try to... There we go.

I want to thank the fine folks a prepper for Etting is down. this is uh quite the film not sure the runtime is going to come down too but it is a it is a thick boy of three and a half hours appreciate you joining us for this full experience whether it was on patreon or here aaron how did you add you feel i felt great i mean this was a a movie that's just awesome and then epic like the first one i don't know if awesome is the right word but yeah it full of awe i suppose you know so some awe i would say yeah uh but no it was it was it was it was was still just as interesting as the first one sadder in a way you know we were all alone now we

don't have any family we can't trust anybody all over enemies are taken out but at what cost you know it's lonely at the top but yeah i thought this movie did a really great job of showcasing both you know the the rise of veto in the fall or at least the beginning of the fall of of Michael here and yeah maintaining it's it's uh it's themes but also keeping it endlessly interesting over the course of it and the way it was shot just just just so beautiful okay it's it's out of here stop it get out of here we're going to the to the patriot there we are there we are we live there we go get that there it is all the tools but yeah i uh i thoroughly enjoyed it and yeah the it's deliberate pace never became boring or or tedious every shot

had intention and yeah it was just very very well-made film what about you man uh i think uh i'd heard godfather too is so much better than the first i think it's on par with excellence like i'd say they're they're both like nice four and a half star quality films but going into it you know so blind, it was really interesting to see how melancholy it is. I talk a lot about how a lot of times crime films don't have

enough about the consequences. Like, I grew up on lethal weapon. I grew up on like the fun side of these, you know, crime movies. But a lot of that when it's on the cop side is like copaganda and a lot of that when it's on the

crime side is like, oh, it's fun to be Scarface. And then you don't think of the second act and third act of that film you think of the beginning so um you know i really like that this whole movie is cautionary like this is an entire film of it ain't fun um so i really like you know compared to a lot of the fun of people with jordan belfort um posters on their walls or scarface like this is just hey you'll be alone uh you can have everything you want but you won't have people and i really like that it juxtaposes his father having loyalty having people the first movie celebrates the don's arc this one celebrates uh not even this one this one witnesses the

fall um it never has a heyday uh so i i like that as far as it like a narrative choice to like let it be an inherent negative let it be um something that isn't it was it's all cautionary like it's like the third act of any other crime film it's all uh bad news but So, yeah, I really enjoyed it. I really like that. It's very intentional. I really think it's incredible performances. So good.

De Niro and Pacino, you know, obviously as a heat fan, it was cool to see them across time, playing father and son in their own way. But yeah, really, really good stuff. Yeah. No, I thought it was very well done. And I feel like there's a lot to really unpack and examine here. And I'm sure there's, like, video essays about. Oh, I can't even imagine.

Like, all the questions we had about, like, whether that was shot for this film, whether, uh, you know, certain things are probably overly dissected. I can't imagine the legend of this whole movie. So, yeah. Yeah. So it does look like we have at least four questions here. All right. Um, so yeah, these two are not on Patreon or are not on our list of how we segment them after Patreon. But, uh, yeah, let's let's get it started.

All right. First up, we got Captain Fernandez. Thank you, Captain Fernandez. This is one of those rare sequels that is widely considered better than the original. Do you agree, and can you think of other sequels that are also better than the first film? I almost just answered that, so by all means. That's tough. I feel like the first film for me is still just slightly better, but I do like that this is two stories.

And I would have liked more of the rise of a veto story to be a fleshed out fuller experience. though we did get some great stuff and I feel like the intention of that was juxtapose between Michael's experience and where he's at now being the head of the family but I would have to say just ever so slightly I like the first one a little more but this film is still phenomenal yeah I think I think they're about the same level for me if not the first slightly edging out this one just because of the awe of the world building and the wonder and the performances in both are great but the first one there's just such a it's so one of one and I loved this this. But yeah, maybe it's because it was the first

one I saw. Like maybe if I'd seen Godfather 2 first, but like that, that world that Coppola built here is just so special. And as far as sequel's better than the first, I like Empire more than New Hope. I like five nights at Freddy's 2, more than five nights at Freddy's 1. By the time this video

plays, the movie will be out. I like Finnaf 2 more than the first. Dark Night. Dark Knight. Terminator 2. Yeah. It's classic. I liked Terminator 1 more than a lot of people but I think T2 it does edge it out um fast five but that's a fifth one that's like not a sequel I think they're thinking about just twos I'm in the rare camp that likes Tasm 2 more than Tasm 1 I think there are elements of Tazin 2 that are stronger the relationship the

yeah I think I'm with you I think I'm with you I think Tasm 2's but I ran into Mark Webb two days ago no way yeah just I got to I got to thank him for all this hard spider work uh literally like in a parking lot ran to Mark web really yeah crazy it was after a party was after a premiere party Mark Webb was like coming down an escalator and I like made eye contact with them was like I think it's fucking Mark Webb and then we both got in the escalator together so I was like I'm gonna thank him like I feel like this is a perfectly appropriate so I had to like shake his hand and I thanked him for all his work we talked a little bit about

Spider-Man love with each other it was a nice little 10 minute talk delightful fellow he doesn't get enough credit you know Sony really messed with those films and really I told them as much and 500 days of summer's the shit yes one of my favorites of all time what else the sequels that are better than that there's gotta be like hundreds of lists but like oh yeah that's that's those are like the big ones I guess I like infinity war and end game more than original Avengers oh yeah winter soldier over cap one

yeah you know for just in the the comic book genre do I like aliens more than alien they're so different for me they're very like if I'm in the mood for horror I'm going alien if I want to actually like those I can't yeah so yeah those are those are some some off the dome but I think slightly prefer the first one along with Aaron here on the godfathers yeah let us know your guys's favorites uh next up j rushton uh question will you guys watch the godfather part three and more importantly will spider cat ever be in a movie a reaction uh we are planning to watch the godfather

part three this is true uh i held off this entire film because of its pedigree not calling it godfather part two electric bugaloo but i hear godfather three is a little less illustrious so maybe we'll get some three jokes in there but uh spidey cat is a very territorial of his home he doesn't like to leave it uh spidey cat has been on videos on my channel spidey cat was just in my five nights at freddy review he like was meowing for attention up until i filmed and then he would like lived on my shoulder the whole review he like wouldn't leave my side so spidey's in half that review uh he's a very snuggly boy um but he likes being home so i don't know if spidey cat will make it here to reject to HQ out of him

just being a homeboy and I also don't where he'd go. He'd just like wandering He'd be on the desk. Yeah, he did I brought him a Marvel movie news once and he got on the desk and just stared at the cameras. There's like he looks like a Muppet, he looks like a fake cat He's just staring so good Maybe one day, I love that boy

Love that boy. Maybe one day. Maybe one day And we have a couple that are On a different list here These two right here. Yeah Cody Price I think you just asked the same question Oh yeah so just for Cody Price Godfather Part 2 Which one do you think is the better film?

Godfather or Godfather part two? Part 1 by it. Like we're talking like 97 versus 98. Like we're talking like for me anyway. Yeah. No, I agree with you on that front. Yeah, you got Marlon Brando.

He's not into much, but he is ended. And he's very powerful with his presence in there. So we need a little bit more Brando in here. But that said, Robert De Niro was great. Love him as well. And like I said, so close. Yeah. All right.

Last one. jaden roads thank you the godfather part two this is a very long movie but it flies by for me it doesn't feel like it drags at all every single frame matters could be just overhyping the movies is probably one of the best movies of all time i've curious of all degree which version of the carriage you don't prefer marlin brando or robert de nero that's tough because you can't have denaro's version yeah he's playing off of brando yeah i'm gonna go brando uh i think brando's got one of those all-time performances. I think De Niro's sensational here.

But just like edging out the first one, I think they had the first edged out the second by like 97% versus 98%. I'm going the same. De Niro 97, like if we're doing that kind of, but yeah, it's slightly better for me. Yeah, I would have to agree just because,

you know, with Robert Sineau, he's obviously young. He's doing something very different that we're accustomed to in his career. In spite of the fact that he's a very diverse actor in his own right. But yeah, Martin Brando really just disappears behind that. make up an end in that role and I think he's just phenomenal so I would have to go

Brando and there's stuff like the cat like the cat wasn't even in the script like the cat was just on set apparently he picked up the cat and that became so iconic like I read about it after we watched it and I was like that's such a good actor if you're like oh cat like that's crazy yeah and just so many movies have kind of like played off of the fact that you know he is so powerful in that performance yeah so yeah I really enjoyed both it's hard because these movies are so long I feel like there's not to sakes we're talking about it during it but uh i really you know this legendary for reason the pain you feel for michael the loss the the melancholy the emptiness all that man it's it is a powerful

film yeah yeah the the betrayal and how he deals with with power and disrespect as opposed to how his father dealt with it because yeah loyalty yeah loyalty one of my favorite scenes in the first one was before uh before veto died how he went to the five families and he was like let's Listen, we don't want to get involved with the narcotic stuff. Yeah. We want to keep it clean. I know there's like a betrayal that happened, but I don't know my son die. My, they killed my son, but we just need peace.

I'm going to set the example that peace is, is now. And I thought that was very admirable of him and foregoing revenge in order to maintain a sense of leveling and power and whatnot. I'm also curious that the third movie undermines this next sentence, but I really like the fall of Rome metaphor because a position of power like any superpower can't last and so I loved the Roman paralleling of Capo and all the things that the Italian crime era did take right like but the mafia and mob are different in present day like 2025 like that era of the mafia has shifted and changed like just like Rome like the the rise and fall of that empire so to the Corleone family

I'm really curious what a de numal feels like what a part three could feel like with this so clearly being a movie. The second one is about the rise of Dito and Vito. The second movie is about the rise of Vito into the first movies, Vito, into the fall of his son. I don't even know what a third movie would tell other than a day new model, like a post script. So I hope it doesn't undermine that fall of Rome feeling. Yeah. So we'll see.

Yeah, and I have to agree. I hope it's good. I know the reputation that it has. I don't know why it has that reputation. I don't either. But I'm hoping that it's still good. I think no matter what it's going to be watchable because it's going to be Pacino and Coppola. So like, I'm excited

no matter what. Yeah. So tune in for part three. Hopefully it is I mean, it's got to be at least watchable, but hopefully it's on some par with these two masterpieces.
