Michael Franzese - single handedly making Monday's great
@@michaelfranzese Thank you Michael, Mob Movie Monday is the best content on TH-cam.
@@michaelfranzese hope you do a mob movie Monday discussion on the 1991 mobsters movie and the gang that couldn't shoot straight 1971 movie
@@michaelfranzese you should do board walk empire. Love your content
Hell yeah
@@michaelfranzese Michael , so some actor ,who I like says, Mob murders and Military are both murderers. I was in Vietnam saw a lot of action, made great lifelong friends , those who didn't die over there. I volunteered and was there for 16 mos. before getting wounded and sent home. I was like you raised Catholic , not very religious now , but I believe in God. It didn't bother me to kill the enemy cause they were going to kill me. I had the usual nightmares that come with being in a War but I am fine for years now. I worked construction my whole life raised a Family on the West Side and know a lot of people you mention. I live in Boston w/my son now after my Wife passed a few years ago. I know you won't answer this but am I a murderer ? You know the Bible or am I a Righteous man who killed for the right reason? Again I just thought I'd ask even though I am almost positive you won't answer.
Congratulations on 500K !!! Outstanding Achievement!!
@@christopherrabaldo3377 is that true mate? Explain please how can you pay for something that doesn't exist? If your paying for 500 thousand subscribers they have to be people who subscribe! How can you pay for people that have to subscribe! Are they imaginary?
@@christopherrabaldo3377 so Sammy paid as well and a fella called Buck from Fng academy as they have grown fast
@@christopherrabaldo3377 so are the subscribers real people who subscribe or is it just a bought number?
TH-cam algorithms are definitely shady. Shadow banning, de-monitizng (removing ad revenue) and shutting down live streaming. It's not much to do with Michael's channel, I'm just making the point TH-cam is shady.
I've been binge watching all of Michael's video for the past two days. I love them so much
When I get bored I go back and re-watch his videos. Still great 👍
Making of the mob is such a underrated series!! I loved it. I hope they continue, love to see one done about the philly mob wars.
Making of the mob Philadelphia
@@markrenealvarado1043 man, I hope so! All the crazy shit that went down in in philly during that era..
Can't wait for a Sammy Bull Sit-down w/ Mr. Michael!
you mean Sammy the bro Gravano 🤣🤣
Oh, man, I'd pay to see that! 👍👍👍👍👍
th-cam.com/video/mlRq1J2iJkU/w-d-xo.html
😀😀👆
Yeah me too👌
Michael, you and Sammy sitting down is gonna be a real treat!!!!!!!
Listening to this makes you look at not just the mob/mafia differently, but life and business as well. Great talk!
Always a moral lesson.
This movie was made in my town. A little town in martinsburg West Virginia. They picked this town because our town has a block that literally feels like your walking back in time its pretty cool. I was gonna try out for a part but I botched out at the last second.
Wow! Respect to your Dad ! My Aunt passed in 2019 at 103 years. Tough generation❤️🇷🇼
Hi Michael, my name is Craig Thomas Rivela. I’m the actor who played Vito Genovese in Making of the Mob NY. I love all your videos and liked your review of the first episode .. Keep up the good work and thx for the good review as it helps promote all of us on the show ..
I can't wait to watch that series. Originally I wasn't but after watching this video I am now.
@@tyronebrown9068 awesome .. thx bro
Who would've ever thought that Monday would be my favorite day of the week - thanks a lot for your work and effort, Michael!
Whenever Mr. Franzese speaks, just listen because you will definitely learn something. Blessings Mr. Franzese
I love your videos Michael id love if you do more podcasts or storys about your life because I find the history behind it so interesting
Congratulations on reaching 500k, Michael! I knew this channel was going to blow up. 👏🏻
I see a Michael Franzese video, I click it's that simple for me. Michael, congratulations on reaching 500k.
Favorite docuseries! They should make season 3 and talk about the mob’s post prohibition era!
just finished watching the 1st season, very informative. learned alot about the founders of the modern american mob
Congrats on 500k your channel grew so quickly
This man, is so inspiring. I hope Mike and everyone in his life is doing well, staying healthy.. Thank you Michael for being here and doing what you do. Stay busy, stay healthy and God bless!
New sub for me, Mr Franzese you make it feel like you can make it out of every and any situation you’re in! Like the saying goes “God will never give you or put you in a situation you can’t handle”! God bless
Wow your dad passed away 103 god bless he would be so proud of you today Michael great video👊
Micheal.
I have tremendous respect for you
Because you are willing to go speak to youngsters and explain your experience, and resolve.
Good for you
Franzese and Gravano sit down is going to be great! Excited for it
Congrats on the 500K subs!!! Most people can't stand Mondays....you make Mondays something to look forward to!!!
I also would like to see a sitdown between Michael and his brother John Jr. Something tells me that interview would get very emotional.
Another great video Michael. Congrats on reaching your first 500K. Keep those viewers coming
IV just started watching the sopranos for the 3rd time it's been 10 years since IV watched it, it's amazing how many things in the show that I previously missed, what an epic show
I remember the first time I watched it back when I had Amazon Prime. I liked it so much I watched it again with friends and my mother. First season was fantastic the second was great as well, but in my opinion not as good as the first.
Tony Accardo definitely knew how to remain a silent figure throughout his “career”
Great job Michael! Congrats on 500K! Well deserved. Thanks for making Monday’s bearable lol. Support from The Bronx! 👊🙏🙏🇺🇸
Love ya Michael! Great video
You are a true inspiration. Thank you. Congrats on 500,000
So glad you broke the 500K barrier Mike, I enjoy your channel so much...Sammy and yours are without a doubt my favorite TH-cam sites..keep up the great work
In "my" opinion, Carlo Gambino is the top boss of all time. Laid low, only nodded, never spoke. He even kicked it with Sinatra, and died naturally in his 70's. That was the MAN. Thanks again Mike! This series was excellent! Great pick!
Naw Lucky was the man.....
I got a tat on my arm with a clover that reads "Charlie Lucky" as it's my name and I stole the idea from him. He still went to jail, Carlo built the biggest family and most control LCN ever had, and without liquor.
Yeah and he was a stone cold killer. One of the old school mafioso bosses who actually put in work. Carlo Gambino earned his stripes thats why he was so respected.
Very good documentary love the videos 👍
Love from italy🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️
This was one of my favorite show that discussed the Mob. Amc did a great job and you are as well.
The build up for the sit down with Sammy is for real
I think that really is what it all is. The back and forth, shade coming from one side towards the other then back again....hints and rumors. These two guys are both real smart, and good at building hype. I think they will drag it out, even if they agree, until the fans are literally begging for the sit down, because that is what good businessmen would do. And both Michael and Sammy are great business men, and have both embraced showmanship and hype-building.
Like the movie Rocky, where Apollo Creed was shown to be en even better businessman than a boxer, and he was a great boxer and champion at the time, and put together his fight with the underdog nobody in Rocky Balboa , to generate interest and make sure the fans were rabid with anticipation. Michael and Sammy are almost certainly doing the same thing, and I would not be surprised if they throw more and more shade at one another once they both know they're gonna sit down, simply because that is how you build hype. Just like how boxers or MMA fighters throw shade and degrade one another to build hype.
It been a year
@@evilcam And i like it.
Congrats on the growth, on your support by everyone , and on your authentic life story telling ..you keep me interested from beginning to end, you are very a great speaker!
When is that Edward McDonald and Rudy Giuliani sitdown going to happen? That'll be the sit downs of all sit downs
Would love that sit down
Damn it. I've suggested a Rudi Guilani sit down for months now.
@@shack7631 Giuliani is actually a very bright guy, regardless of what you think about him because of his support for Trump. I'm sure that he was feared by the mob guys back in the day.
A giuliani sit down would be amazing
There was a time that a sit-down of such, would have been entertaining but, Guiliani is a "whack-job" now. Not to mention the fact that, Michael would need to wear a gas mask to get through the interview from all the farting...😆🤣
500k already shows you are a infectious personality with great stories about your life ❤️
Michael, one movie you should watch is Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks and Paul Newman.
That was a good movie too.
Excellent film
A GREAT FILM👍👍😎
Gr8 film
They did a great job on it, they put it together very well! Thanks for all ya do Mike! By the way, Mike did you ever deal with the Irish mob? You usually speak about the Italian and Jewish mob being alliances but even predating yourself, was the Irish mob was not in that alliance?
Salute! You deserve 500k more!
Hearty congratulations Mike, on the 500K subscribers! Proud to be one of them! I bet your 2nd 500K comes even quicker than the 1st.
What you call "Mob Movie Mondays", I call "Must Watch Mondays!"
Keep going michael god bless you
My whole family tunes in together the second we are notified of new content!
Haven't seen the video yet but already know it's gonna be great! 😁
I loved this AMC series and the fact that Michael is reviewing this makes it so much better too
Fun fact Lucky Luiciano wanted to do away with the title “Made Guy” in fact it was Meyer Lansky that insisted on keeping it because he said it would keep the young ones in line and have something to strive for.
I've watched both making of the mob Chicago and New York a few times enjoyed it tremendously thanks for keep bring great content week in a week out and god bless you Michael Franzese
Donnie: It's like the army, it's like a chain of commands
Lefty: The army? It's nothing like the army, the army is some guy you don't know sends you out to whack some other guy you don't know
Again another great episode , it’s crazy but I’m addicted to your stories and sit downs , an absolute stand up guy in every way . Wow if all Americans could live ; and act and present themselves like Michael what a place ? Thx again Michael great show .
“Bada-Bing you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit. Tom, this is business and this man is taking it very personal.”
Balls and brains, both Michaels had them.
You're the best, Michael! Love all your videos. I'm so glad that you've hit 500k subs, you deserve millions and you will definitely reach that number very soon.
First responders in the section 🙏🏾. In other words, I clicked the video link as soon as it popped on my screen🤙🏾💯.
Michael I have listened to your channel for only a couple of months now but I wish i found your channel years ago and subscribed to your channel after watching my first video and joined the your crew online straight away. I find the mafia and your stories so fascinating and interesting and just think what a life you have lived, i believe you are a down to earth genuine man. Recently I have seen other people telling your story on TH-cam and just wonder what your take is on other people trying to tell your story?
Killing an armed combatant in battle is NOT murder. It is called self-defense
If I break into your house to steal, you wake up and see me in your home with your tv and money in my hands, and you have a gun and are gonna shoot me and I shoot you first , is that murder ??
@@michaelcarlson1226 If I shoot and kill you, no, that is NOT murder. Homicide, yes. Murder, no. If you shoot and kill me, you would be charged with felony murder. So yes, you would murder me.
Definition of Murder
noun - the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
verb - kill (someone) unlawfully and with premeditation.
Hiammy michael ,its jackie wasent well for a bit ,but im back lolxxx love you ..Sammy cming on with you wow ,Thats a watchxx
Maaaan I love Mob Movie Monday! I Iove Making of the mob and so many mob documentaries! Maybe a Mob Doc Thursday? Would love to hear your commentary!
@@michaelfranzese My honor Mr. Franzese.
Great suggestion.
@@-Mohog Thanks, I'm a doc junkie and would be so interesting to hear Mr. Franzese's inside info. So many good mob docs.
Hi Michael, Thanks so much for reviewing this docudrama. I started watching after your review and have found it to be very enjoyable to watch. It seems to be very actuate as far as I can see.
Could you watch the mini series, Mario Puzo's The Last Don? I rewatched it after 25 years, had read the book a few times many years ago.
Tragic story at over four hours long. The book affected me as a civilan some how. It portrayed an aura and an end to an era?
Show is on Prime Video btw watched it a while back before learning about Michael and LOVED THIS SHOW. Great show and explains everything great
Michael I dont know if you’re gonna read this, but I respect you and your father so much. God Bless
Michael was actually adopted and isn't even blood related to sonny
@@ScotlandsBEST ......and?? It's the guy who adopted and raised him. That makes him his father
@@ScotlandsBEST , bro it doesn't matter. To Michael, Sonny was his father and for Sonny, Michael was his son.
@@ScotlandsBEST I was adopted into God's family. My sin was washed away and I was made clean in His eyes by His blood. Now I am a son of God and worthy of inheriting everlasting life . Michael Franzese is too! If what you say is true, he's been adopted twice in his life. A rare gem.
@@benwilliams5236 you are delusional pal, religion is fake. It's fiction done wrong. Its filled with holes and not one famous historian of the time period mention a man who can walk on water or turn water into wine. That's because he didn't fucking exist.
Congratulations Michael on 500,000 subscribers! Amazing achievement in such a short time! Thank you for sharing your life experiences with the world and sending a direct message to young people and not so young to work very hard to make the right decisions in life and stay out of trouble. Your messages are always positive and genuine. Much respect!
Micheal I really feel like you should review Boardwalk Empire an amazing show
Deffo
The Franzese and Gravano sit-down will be a 1 million+ view video for sure. Looking forward to it.
I think you'll love boardwalk empire too
I cannot wait!!! I hope you and Sammy have a sit down. Do a 2 part and you take one and he take the other. Great views for the both of you. 😉
Still waiting Once Upon A Time In America big fan from Bosnia Mike
Oh yeah, the Jewish "Godfather."
Congratulations on reaching the 500k mark man, there's no doubt in my mind that you will be at 1 million and beyond in no time. 👍 ✌️
I always say, the most famous Cosa Nostra member, is the one no one has ever heard of.
Hey Mr. Franzese, I enjoyed a "Hip to be Square" pizza from your Newport Location on Friday, I was astonished to see you walking out of the shop with a young crew when I rolled up. God bless you!
The Making of the mob series is a must watch, really good.
Yes👍👍
1.33, not Vincent Pastore in the Goodfellas clip though he did appear briefly in the movie.
The mob rising off prohibition is similar to how to cartel got powerful from the drug war and restrictions.
Yes, it's the same template, and I honestly don't think it was a mistake in either case. The feds wanted to make booze then drugs illegal, knowing that does not stop the problem, but gives criminals a huge financial incentive to get involved, so the feds could justify all the money, manpower and new tools and laws they wanted to implement. The demand for things like a massive FBI ATF and IRS spending spree. New surveillance laws and tools that allow them to spy on anyone and everyone they want to spy on, for pretty much any reason. Massive spending on prisons and jails and planes and buses to transport all these newly arrested criminals.
The mob and cartels were just the criminals that happened to move into the opening the feds created for them. The feds made a hundred times more money (or more accurately, allocated funds from tax collections) off prohibition and the drug war, than the mob or cartels ever did. I think, it was all by design.
True
Oh my that sit down is going to be great
Can't wait for your tv series.
Congratulations 🎊 what a Great Milestone !! I’m going to watch this documentary! Wow baseball ⚾️ in 1919 year my dad was born . Thank You Michael!
You're right about Vincent "Chin" Gigante. He was on a whole' nother wave length entirely! I wish there was more info on him because "The Chin" is easily the most fascinating mob boss of the late 20th century. What's so crazy about Gigante is the FBI and New York's various state authorities had mostly written him off as a cooky, incompetent old man the Genovese let come around out of respect alone. They were convinced as well that he was just an unimportant, senile old timer the same way the media and public believed.
The irony is that it was actually their years long, convict-him-at-all-costs investigations and surveillance operations into John Gotti that changed their minds on Gigante. The FBI were initially puzzled as to why John Gotti- purportedly the most powerful mob boss in America -was so terrified of provoking Chin Gigante's wrath after the Castellano hit.
The more convictions Gotti beat, and the larger his celebrity profile grew, the louder and more boastful he became. Although careless remarks made by Gotti and being recorded on FBI surveillance bugs weren't enough for them to haul Gigante downtown for any questions just yet, Gotti gradually talked enough about Chin to prompt the FBI revisit their original assessment of Vincent Gigante and the Genovese family. With the wheels already starting to turn on Gigante perhaps being the true boss, Fat Tony Salerno's- the alleged boss of the Genovese family -unimpressive behavior and demeanor throughout the Commission trial only added more fuel to the fire. How so?
There's no delicate way to put this, so I'll just come out and say it-
Fat Tony Salerno was a bumbling, even downright comical at times, bafoon. Nothing about this guy suggested Mafia don. As they looked further into the Genovese, the FBI began to realize everything surrounding Fat Tony was a staged production to fool the public. He was like Junior in The Sopranos, or the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. He had no idea he was put in the position he occupied to be the lightning rod.
Who knows how much longer "Chin" Gigante could've continued getting away with it had only John Gotti kept his mouth shut?
Congrats sir Michael for half a million sub's..road to one million is coming to your Chanel..gos bless you sir..your follower here in the Philippines..
A soldier, in war, is not committing murder.
It does not feel like murder at all in person. We know it is just troops protecting those who are close to the battle. War is hell obviously but it feels like it is not far away no matter what side you choose to protect or fight for.
I feel its authorised murder, that's been normalised by governments.
@@georgecavill2971 If a man breaks into your hone to murder you, and you kill him, is it murder?
If you kill someone it's murder no matter what the circumstances.
Yeah it is lmao the only difference is government sanctioning. If you have to kill people to get what you want its called murder
Congrats on 500k let’s get ready to celebrate 1 million soon ...& can’t wait for the Sammy Sit down 🙏🏼🖤
Now we HAVE to know his take on Walking Dead. For that matter Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones if he's watched those too.
Yes!
Congrats on hitting 500k! Much love from the Philippines 👍🏻
Over-Under on how many times Sammy calls Michael bro .. Can't wait
Depends on how long the sit down lasts. May have to put a time limit on it just to keep it at a reasonable number.
@@keithdean9149 yeah
Hahah
Congratulations on the 500+ subscribers! Always looking forward to your next video!
You should react and cover the show called Peaky Blinders
I so glad I cam across your channel..I loved watching your sit-down with Vault Entertainment..
Would like to hear more about your grandfather's life
I always enjoy your content!
Thank you sir!

Johnson & Johnson is on trial today for dealing their opioid drugs and downplaying the risks. They'll get off with a cheap fine.
They are guilty of murder.
That sit down with you and Sammy is going to be epic. Aside from that I love the Making Of The Mob New York and Chicago.
Michael can you do a video talking about how the NY families interacted with the families in Chicago , Cleveland & Philly
He has mentioned in the past he said he has no relations or knowledge of them
