THE GODFATHER: Why this is the most influential film of all time - Four Play Ep 38

The Godfather, an American epic gangster film which debuted in 1972, is Thorin's selection for the Money Shot arc. Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, director Francis Ford Coppola weaves an engaging story centered around the transformation of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone into a hardened mafia boss. Marlon Brando stands out in his role as the titular "Godfather," but the rest of the ensemble cast deliver strong performances as well. The Godfather remains one of the best films ever created, even after over 50 years since its release.

thorin with the fresh cut

[@marlowe5511]

We need the Francis Ford Coppolla arc, the Apocalypse Now breakdown would be sick, especially with all the production chaos

[@SauceAppleEater_2885]

This is such a brilliant suggestion, watching the trio review apocalypse now and the conversation would be quite something

[@Bleda412]

​@@SauceAppleEater_2885 Trio? Aren't you forgetting someone?

[@gabbegibbzt4342]

Having watched Streetcar Named Desire a while ago, Monte's point about the acting disparity really rings true
