Episode description

Join Sophia and Nick for their season premiere as they celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Godfather. After gushing about how much they adore this movie, they break down key scenes from the film and share fun facts from production. Then, they answer some listener questions and discuss Oscars trivia, including its disqualified score, four acting nominations, and how it almost lost Best Picture (52:53). Finally, their former Mafia Movies professor Dana Renga guest stars! She shares all of her knowledge about film and mafia studies, from why Michael is the perfect antihero to which Italian and Hollywood mafia movies pair well with this classic.(1:24:55).
