KnockBack, Episode 156: The Godfather
Added 2021-02-01 17:01:05 +0000 UTCThis week's episode of KnockBack makes you an offer you can't refuse, as we open up the floor to a discussion all about the classic 1972 film The Godfather, a movie some consider to be the very best that American cinema has ever had to offer. Is it true? Well, that's subjective, but what we do know is this: The Godfather is an amazing flick, and sets such an important template for all of the wonderful Mafia media that would come after it. Character, story, dialogue... it has it all. But the major question is: Is it the most influential movie ever made? We dive deep into this notion, because when you consider just how many quotes, scenes, and iconic imagery are pulled from this picture to this day, it becomes clear that it may indeed hold that level of exceptional influence. So, click play. Because today we take care of all family business.

This was awesome! Thanks to you two I watched The Godfather for the first time and really liked it :D I do wish you guys spent longer talking about it since it was 3 hours long and had so much going on. I especially wanted to hear both of your thoughts of Carlo and Connie and how it was all handled

2021-02-05 03:13:02 +0000 UTCHaha, got to agree with what you said Colin about us Greeks being just as hot blooded as you Italians. Must be something in the olives.

2021-02-03 08:45:27 +0000 UTCLoved this episode. Got me through my work today. Going to keep submitting my Apocalypse Now topic in the primaries. The story of that movie getting made is almost as good as the movie itself.
