🎵 This is Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question,
why pay Paramount plus 12 bucks a month to watch a 10-episode miniseries
about the making of The Godfather when you can go on YouTube for free
and watch The Freaking Godfather?
I'm Jordan Morris.
And I'm Emily Fleming.
Today's movie is The Godfather,
a 1972 mafia movie
directed by Nicolas Cage's uncle
who would go on to fame
for his line of canned wines.
They come with a straw.
Before we get into this movie,
which is, as of this recording,
streaming free with ads,
we're going to talk about
something else we saw for free
on the internet this week.
Other free stuff.
Emily, you want to show yours first?
Okay.
So I've been pretty obsessed with this, actually.
Alexis Bittar is a fashion jewelry brand.
They do these awesome Lucite bracelets.
I'm really obsessed with them.
Love Lucite.
Yeah.
I can't get enough Lucite.
But they have this amazing campaign going on on their Instagram, and they've had it going on for a while.
I think I've known about it for like six months.
But it started with two characters.
They just won the Webby, by the way.
There's some like best web.
Ooh, prestigious Webby.
Yeah.
So they won a Webby.
It's two characters.
Margot, who's like an Upper East Side or Upper West Side New York, like, bajillionaire woman.
And she has an assistant named Jules that she pretty much bullies.
Okay.
It's very, like, Devil Wears Prada kind of.
Oh, great. I'm excited.
But, yeah, and so I'm going to play the first episode I ever saw of it.
In this video, it's Christmastime, and Margot's had a terrible experience in the department store shopping for Christmas presents.
And she's bitching about it in front of the store to her assistant.
Get Bernice on the phone. Get Bernice on the phone.
I told them that you didn't want Stephanie.
I never want to work with Stephanie. She looks at me like I'm nothing.
She doesn't get what I'm asking for.
We could go back in right now.
No, I don't want to go back in right now.
You don't. We're hoping to get a little bit of Christmas shopping done.
I'm only going to work with Bernice.
She only wants to work with Bernice. And tell them they need to go back in right now. You don't? We're hoping to get a little bit of Christmas shopping done. I'm only going to work with Bernice. She only wants to work with Bernice.
And tell them.
They need to do something about that Stephanie.
She's not very nice and it's Christmas time.
Where's the ho ho ho?
I want a little ho ho ho when I go shopping.
She wants a little ho ho ho when she's shopping.
So, do you got your list?
Yes, I have the list.
We have to get for Pierre.
Pierre, we have Pierre's mother.
I've got to get for John.
John and Jonathan.
John and...
Oh, right, right, right.
The gay couple down the street.
The gay couple down the street. Oh, yeah. We always got to have a gay couple down the street. The gay couple down the street, oh yeah. We always gotta have a gay couple at the table.
Oh, Michael.
Michael?
The doorman.
Well then we just, we're gonna give him an envelope.
We're not getting anything from that store.
Your sister?
She did call.
No, we're not getting anything from my sister.
Are you sure?
I'm very sure.
She is coming over.
So?
Great, perfect, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Where's my juice?
I'll trade you.
Yeah, trade you, dude. I just wanna get into the Christmas spirit. A little Where's my juice? I'll trade you. Yeah, trade.
I just want to get into the Christmas spirit.
A little more. A little more. A little more. Be generous.
Wow. Perfect.
I love that wine glass.
Just drinking out on the street. Love it. Yeah. They're so cool.
I think, and the story has gone on and on.
There's tons. It's a whole story now.
Oh, wow.
There's another character that's from Coney Island that was a childhood friend of Margot. And she's very trashy and kind of talks like this. Oh, wow. There's another character that's from Coney Island that was a childhood friend of Margot
and she's very trashy and kind of
talks like this. Oh, great. And she's great
and now there's a former
assistant that's suing Margot
that she's got a whole storyline too.
I like that this is kind of fun.
So this is like a luxury brand,
right? Kind of. Like it's
you know, there's fine jewelry that's like
diamonds and gold. Alexis Bittar is
like it's fashion jewelry so it's
really high quality but it's not like diamonds
or anything. But it is a fashion brand
that's been around for a while. But kind of cool
they're having fun with the image like this.
I know. It's like and people are
picking sides in the story. It's like watching
an entire show. Nice. I just think
it's one of the coolest things I've
seen on Instagram in a while. Heck yeah. And they have TikTok. I just don't follow them on TikTok. I just think it's one of the coolest things I've seen on Instagram in a while.
Heck yeah.
And they have TikTok.
I just don't follow them on TikTok.
I'm an idiot.
What do you got?
What do you got?
So here is my thing.
So this is a hole that I went down after we watched Over the Top starring Sylvester Stallone.
So when we're watching these movies, I like to do, you know, look at the IMDb, look at
the Wikipedia, see what kind of fun stuff I can find out.
And I was reminded of when we watched Over the top of Sylvester Stallone's mom
Jackie do you remember Jackie Stallone no she was kind of a fun kooky character she was like a
you know talk show guest she went on Stern a lot she was so she like had I think she had like a
psychic network and she had a workout video. Okay.
So I was kind of, and she, and you know, when Sylvester got famous, she just, just like
me too, me too.
And she's just this like kind of, you know, goofy broad.
I love it.
And so one of her, one of Jackie Stallone's products was this thing called Stallone's
Knockouts.
And it was this VHS tape that you could get through the mail, I think,
or maybe it was like on pay-per-view, maybe both.
And it was, so she hosted it.
Maybe they kind of wanted you to think that Sylvester Stallone was hosting it.
He was not.
Jackie Stallone was hosting it.
And it was basically like foxy boxing.
It was these babes having these boxing matches.
And in between, they would do these little comedy sketches.
And all of the women who boxed would introduce themselves with a rap.
Oh, no.
This whole thing has been uploaded to YouTube on a channel called Beta Snip.
You can watch all like 88 minutes of Stallone's knockouts.
I wanted to play a couple of the raps that the boxers do to introduce themselves.
Matt, can we play the first one?
We just listen to the audio because I want to see it.
Yeah, you should see it.
I'm going to have Matt link to this in the show description because I do think this needs to be seen to be believed.
I would love for the Alexis Batar stuff to be linked as well.
I think people would like it.
You can only have one link per show note.
Matt, I didn't know we could ask for links.
We can fill that thing with links.
All right, I'll put links.
But yeah, yes, you absolutely do need to see this.
But for right now, let's hear a little bit of the audio.
This is the first Foxy Boxer to introduce you.
I'm from New York and here to say
I'm the broad who made Broadway
You better be tough, baby
I got plans for a big jackhammer in my hand
Knockouts.
Knockouts.
It is. And then after everyone, a guy goes. Knockouts. Knockouts. It is.
And then after everyone, a guy goes, knockouts.
No, every single person?
Oh, that guy is constantly saying, knockouts.
Oh, God.
Best job in the biz.
Play another one, please.
I just want to point out that when you see the video of that, she has an eye patch.
She does have an eye patch.
She has an eye patch. Why? Because an eye patch. She has an eye patch.
Why?
Because she's a tough New York broad, Emily.
And sometimes when you're a tough broad on the streets,
you're missing an eye.
You get your eye poked out by a pigeon.
By Times Square Elmo.
There you go.
Yeah, Times Square Elmo's always going for the eyes.
A rat thought it was pizza and ate my eye.
Pizza rat stole my peeper.
So this is, okay, so that's the, so she's a New York gal.
So this is who she's fighting and this is who introduces herself afterwards.
Oh, please, please play it.
I'm Mary Jo, your yellow rose.
I ride the range in pantyhose.
I'm from Dallas, that's my home.
I'll show you where the buffalo roam.
Knockouts.
Knockouts.
She'll show you where the buffalo roam.
In my pussy?
I assume.
What's the suggestion there?
What is the innuendo?
I hope it's not an innuendo
and then she just literally brings you,
this is a field.
Catalina Island.
Buffalo were brought out here
at the turn of the century.
What did you think was going to happen?
Did you know I'm from Dallas?
That's my home?
That's my Dallas. That's my Dallas.
This is my Dallas accent.
I know.
Where I wear pantyhose.
Knockouts.
Knockouts.
So, honestly, there is so much of this shit in this video.
For this segment, I might just periodically turn to Stallone's Knockouts for more clips.
I really recommend it.
How many are there?
Like, how many things, episodes or whatever can you watch?
I think this was a one-time thing.
It's a special.
I think so, yes.
Please, if there's any Stallone's Knockouts heads,
please give us an email.
Free with ads at MaximumFun.org.
If you know of more of this stuff,
we'd love to see it.
But you know what else we love to see?
Classic movies like The Godfather,
which we're going to talk about now.
Emily, this was your suggestion.
You suggested we watch this movie
because you had never seen it before.
I just really wanted every dude to know
I fucking watched it and shut the fuck up about it.
There's a podcast where I watched it.
She watched it.
She's going to share all of her opinions.
Don't ask me about it anymore.
Because that's kind of the thing they say about this movie, right?
It's like it's every film bro's favorite.
Like I think, you know, if you date dudes, you have a lot of dudes telling you to watch The Godfather.
Scarface is another one.
Oh, Scarface.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah.
Everything is gang related.
They're like boondock saints.
Right.
Which that is gang related, right?
Are they Scottish or Irish?
Yeah, sure.
It's a mafia like that and then like
yeah these two movies Fight Club
it's like all movies about
dudes who rock
who fucking fight
they fight and they maim
all movies about cool guys
okay alright calm down
I had seen this movie once
and like
liked it but like it did not become my favorite movie immediately,
which I know it does for a lot of people.
And I think I was suffering from a little bit of that, too, of just having it recommended
to me constantly.
Maybe I saw it at an age where I kind of wanted to take the contrarian opinion.
I kind of wanted to be the guy who's like, okay, Godfather, it's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, and I think this also is a movie that like boring people call their favorite
movie.
It's like if you meet a boring guy, he'll be like, my favorite book is 1984.
My favorite band is The Beatles and my favorite film is The Godfather.
I don't know.
Those are all things that are good.
These are all good.
Yes.
I'm not saying that.
Yes, these are all good. But they all good. Yes. I'm not saying that. Yes. These are all good.
But they are basic. Sure. Exactly. Yes.
Kind of like, you know, it's like, OK, we've heard
that we've heard that there's a reason that
it's the best. Yes. OK.
And because it rules.
Yeah. So you you are
you're I love Coca-Cola too.
I got a problem with my lifestyle.
But yeah, Matt, you do it. you do a Sopranos podcast.
That's right.
Sopranos is obviously very indebted to the Godfather.
You also love the GF.
I like the GF.
I call it One.
Godfather One is called One.
Godfather One, Phantom Menace.
That's what I was thinking.
Episode One.
Episode One.
And then, of course, Godfather 2, Attack of the Gabagool.
Yeah.
I was, I did love that I heard Gabagool, like they were tossing Gabagool to each other.
Oh, we'll get to it.
Oh, yeah.
And I was just like, I've never, dudes say that word all the time when they're talking about like I don't know dudes love to say
gabagool I mean I think anybody
gabagool is fun to say
so yeah
so I watched it for this
with kind of a different eye
like I watched this
because I knew I had to talk about it
so I think I watched this
I watched it this time closer than I ever
had before and I think I watched this, I watched it this time closer than I ever had before. And I think I now feel very differently about this movie.
Okay.
And I'll talk about it at the end.
So you're basic now?
Now I'm basic.
Oh, me too.
Where's my Uggs?
Time to take a sip from my Stanley.
Num, num, num, num.
Your knockoff Stanley.
There's a new Taylor album.
You're just describing good things.
And it's great.
And it's fucking great. You're just describing good things. And it's great. And it's fucking great.
You're just describing good things.
And it's describing good things.
Honestly, though, the music video with her and Post Malone is pretty hot.
Is it?
Yeah.
It's pretty sexy.
I would like to see it.
I would like to see it.
Yeah, well, let's...
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I did love it.
Okay?
Yeah.
That's what...
I'm going to say it up front.
I loved it, too.
I loved it.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Free with ads.
You're a place for cold-ass movie takes.
I know.
Fucking Godfather rules. I mean, I just... I wasn't sure, because I thought maybe I'd watch it and be like, yeah, Free With Ads, your place for cold-ass movie takes. I know. Fucking Godfather rules.
I mean, I just, I wasn't sure, because I thought maybe I'd watch it and be like, God, do I
just, is this like, it's like when you date a guy and you have to watch him play Halo.
I've been there.
It's just the way it is, and you've got to do it.
Oh, wow, Killing Spree.
Good job, honey.
Yeah, when he's not doing Halo, he's kind of my boyfriend.
Yeah, exactly. So you put up with not doing Halo, he's kind of my boyfriend.
Yeah, exactly.
So you put up with it.
I don't do that anymore.
But yeah, no, I really did like it.
I get it.
It's good.
So let's start out. It's the day of Vito Corleone's daughter's wedding, and the dude is doing favors for everybody.
God damn.
He's having people beat up.
He's helping a guy get a part in a movie.
He's taking somebody to the airport.
He's helping somebody move because he's got a pickup truck.
Yeah.
Vito's doing favors for everybody.
And this is just a symptom of kind of where my brain is at.
In the first scene, he is petting a cat, beautiful cat.
Oh, I was thinking about that because I was like, that is a power move to be this guy who's killed people in cold blood.
Yeah.
And not to have big Doberman pinchers.
Right.
He's just got this beautiful slate gray cat.
And here's where I'm at as far as cat weirdo brain.
I just wrote in our notes, kitty.
Is that what that was?
A kitty in the movie.
Movie kitty!
I saw that you put that in very bold, big
font, but I was like, is that the name of the
sister? No, I just watched
putting down that I saw a kitty in the movie.
And Emily, I'll maybe
correct you
slightly. Imagine a man correcting
a woman about the godfather.
I think Vito is
very careful to say that he's not going to kill anyone.
And I think that is something that we see.
That's right.
That we see change later in the movie.
But he is, and I think maybe this,
the cat is a signal that he's a little softer inside.
Yeah.
But this guy's doing favors.
It's the wedding, a big crazy wedding.
We meet the three Corleone brothers.
We have Fredo, who's kind of the fuck up.
We have Michael, who doesn't do any mafia stuff.
He's a war guy.
He's not in the family business.
He would never do that.
He would never.
And we have the psychopath Sonny, played by James Caan, who I think is the tallest person in the movie.
Tallest guy.
I didn't know he was tall.
He seemed tall to me.
Yeah.
You know the family photo where they all lined up?
I'm like, I think he's the tallest.
Oh, that's a good way to figure that out.
I don't mean to be a nerd about this.
Oh, boy.
Let's hear it now.
But I'm pretty sure the tallest person in the movie is the character Tessia, or Tessio,
who is played by, who's that guy who was always on, he would show up on Conan?
Abe Vigoda.
Abe Vigoda.
Oh, okay.
Is Abe Vigoda taller than James Caan?
He is definitely one of the tallest people in the movie, so I'm going to say that he
is this movie's tallest guy.
Nice.
And hey, while we're here, let's knock out two segments in one.
Let's do a little hunk watch.
Oh. Oh. It's hunk watch. in one. Let's do a little Hunk Watch. Oh.
Oh.
It's Hunk Watch.
James Caan.
Maybe not a great guy IRL.
Looking good in this movie.
He is.
Hot damn young James Caan.
And he has a look for a lot of this where he is wearing the white undershirt with suspenders.
Love it.
Looking like he's the singer of a swing revival band in 1999.
Yeah, well, I mean, and over the edge, I was super into the suspenders, too.
Are suspenders, do they fuck?
Suspenders fuck.
Oh, over the top.
Suspenders fuck.
Over the top.
What did I say?
You said over the edge.
Over the top.
You went over the edge while you were watching Over the Top.
Yeah, I sure did.
Well, I edged for a while, and then I went over.
Right.
When he puts his fingers
over the other guy's hands that's uh yeah James Caan looking and yeah maybe suspenders are hot
I guess I think they're it's kind of like when the fedoras happened in the beginning we were like
that's pretty hot and then after a while it was like oh Yeah. Jason Mraz happened.
Jason Mraz never wore suspenders.
Jason Mraz, also very good.
Very good.
He was amazing on Dancing with the Stars.
Did you see him on Dancing with the Stars? He was on Dancing with the Stars?
He dances like an angel.
Wow.
He really does.
I didn't know that.
He's got some jams.
Anyway, yeah, he's hunky.
I think that the suspenders are doing it for me, and then it'll become a problem later, I'm sure.
So we got this wedding.
Everybody's having a good time.
Wait, I didn't get to do my hunk watch.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, gosh, I thought you were agreeing with me.
Please tell me he's a hunk.
Well, I think that I agree that he is a hunk, but can I get the-
Can you get the sting?
Can I get the sting?
Oh, of course you can get the sting.
It's hunk watch.
Robert Duvall.
Oh, Robert Duvall looks good in this.
He is just the silent type, but he's very controlled.
Yeah.
And I just think he carries himself with this, I don't know, confidence.
He's like the lawyer.
He's like the guy who kind of comes in and fixes everything.
He's basically the representative of the whole organization, I feel like.
And he's got to be the right-hand man to our, you know, whatever.
It's called a consulieri.
I mean, I don't mean to like.
That sounds like a pasta.
Yeah.
It's a consulieri, a consigliere.
It's a council.
It's like the second in command.
God, you guys know anything?
Oh, Matt's going crazy.
You guys know anything?
I'm sure we have a fair amount of listeners who are also going crazy while we're talking.
I'm playing Halo right now.
Killing spree.
Killing spree.
But yeah, I just thought that he was the only, I feel like he is secretly the scariest character
in the movie.
Yeah, no, totally.
But he never raises his voice, really.
He tries his best to negotiate, but if you don't listen, you get a horse head in your bed.
You get a horse head.
But now that you say that, I didn't realize that the Godfather was like Batman, where he didn't want to kill anyone, but he'll just fuck with them real bad.
Yeah, yeah.
I honestly think that that was more traumatizing than just, you know.
Totally.
Yeah, he's fine beating someone into a coma, but doesn't want to kill anyone.
It's, I don't know what's more fucked up.
Yeah, he's got honor.
So we're at this, so these are the hunks.
And I think maybe I'm noticing something about some of your hunk watches.
Really?
Is you like a responsible hunk.
You like somebody who's maybe like, you know, together.
Daddies.
I like daddies.
We went into difference between dad and daddies.
Sure, sure.
Daddies.
Yeah, you're right.
That's true.
Oh, my God.
I have to tell my therapist.
Call her.
Matt, get a police therapist on the line.
You got it.
Got it.
Oh, do I have dad issues?
Maybe.
No, I think this is a good hunk to be attracted to.
You're not attracted to psychopath James.
Well, kind of.
We're all, you know.
Well, I mean, he's hot. Sure. But, yeah, no, I think that. But, I mean. You like not attracted to psychopath James, well, kind of. We're all, you know. Well, I mean, he's hot,
but yeah, no, I think that,
but I mean.
You like him
because he has a job
and I think I respect that.
Like a man with a job.
You're like,
oh, he's got a job.
And job security too.
That's right.
He's like right there
at the top
but without having to,
I bet no one
would even shoot him.
He never got in,
he never got like almost shot.
That's true.
He probably has
good work-life balance too.
I doubt that.
Yeah, you're probably right.
You're probably right.
But I bet the sex is crazy.
You've never been fucked.
You've been fucked
by a mafia lawyer.
I want to play the...
We've teased this a little bit,
but this is the part
in the wedding scene
when I pointed at the screen
like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme.
Come on,
if this was somebody else's wedding,
it's for a ton of... Hey, Foley! I got two gabagoo! it at the screen like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme. Come on, if this was somebody else's wedding.
Hey, Pauly! I got two gabagool!
Gabagool!
And a friend of mine, but you stupid jerk!
When he said I'm like, we got a gabagool!
Gabagool in the movie!
I mean, they were just tossing
They're just throwing meat at each other. I know,
loose meat in parchment paper.
And I think this movie, when it
came out, was heavily criticized
for painting
Italians in a bad light.
And I'm like, well, maybe.
Except for it does imply that they just
throw meat at each other at a wedding.
It's your wedding!
Here's some meat!
I'm gonna throw meat!
Do you guys know what gabagool is?
I've looked it up
It's some sort of like pork product
Do you know how it's pronounced if you are not in the mafia?
Tell us
Capicola
Oh, interesting
If you've ever had capicola
I have had capicola
You've had gabagool
Oh my gosh, thank you Matt
Thank you very much
Interesting
So yeah.
So we're at this wedding.
Impeccable vibes.
It looks great.
Everybody's having fun.
This guy, Johnny, comes to the wedding.
He is like a crooner.
He's like a Frank Sinatra kind of crooner.
And by the way, that's when music was real, right?
Yeah. Before the Beatles came with their long hair and their guitars singing about the swiveling hips.
Singing about being in love with girls.
It was when you were in love with women.
That's right.
When a man could sing a song about the moon.
That's right.
And what happens when it hits your eye.
You'd think that that guy would end up being the hunk.
And I just. Yeah. He's kind of guy would end up being the hunk. And I just.
Yeah.
He's kind of a cheese ball.
Yeah.
This dude.
Yeah.
He's a fun character.
Everybody's screaming, screaming, screaming for him.
He'll come into play later.
And then we kind of meet Michael Al Pacino.
And he's there with a date.
This is Kay.
She'll come back later.
Diane Keaton.
And, you know, Michael is the one who's not in the mafia at this point.
He's here in his army uniform he's a war hero and Kay just has no idea he he's giving her
hints that the family is the mafia he flat out says something fucked up when he was talking she
goes why is he talking to himself yeah he tells a story about he has to like blatantly tell her a
story about a time when they
pulled a gun on someone for her to understand that the family is the mafia and i'm like have you not
been paying attention at this wedding of course this is like and i was like why doesn't she know
that i'm like oh because the godfather hasn't come out right she's in the godfather which has
not been released so of course she doesn't know that this is the Mafia.
Hasn't she seen the Godfather?
Oh no, she hasn't because she's in it.
I still think it's because she's a woman and she doesn't like Godfather.
She's never been on a killing spree.
That's right.
Am I right?
A knockout.
That scared the shit out of me.
So sorry.
Knockouts. Knockouts.
You just weaponized his knockouts at me.
I don't know.
I just don't understand why you wouldn't maybe warn her before getting to the wedding, too.
It is weird.
It's weird.
Yeah.
It feels a little.
Because if you were like, hey, you know, my grandma, she might say something a little
racist.
Yeah.
You warn the person you're dating.
Yeah. But to have them off. You warn the person you're dating. Yeah.
But to have like them off.
And like the FBI is investigating their wedding.
Anyway.
Yeah.
The photographer, I felt so bad for the photographer because he was probably hired.
Yeah.
Oh, he gets his camera smashed by psycho James Caan.
Yeah, multiple times.
Like multiple times.
And they just throw a couple bucks at him.
I'm like, that guy was probably told to be here.
He was probably told.
I know.
Poor, poor, poor camera guy.
Poor guy.
So that's the wedding.
Kind of our next scene is the favor they're doing for Johnny.
Johnny wants to get this part.
So they send, you know, they send Daddy out to Hollywood to, like, bargain with the producer.
Say, like, you better give Johnny this part.
You better give Johnny this part.
The producer doesn't do it, but for some reason invites Daddy,
oh, I'm just going to call him Daddy from the front.
Yay, Daddy Robert Duvall, Daddy Duvall.
Invites Duvall over for dinner
and makes his first mistake,
which he introduces him to his horse.
He's like, this is my horse.
And he talks about how much he loves this horse.
I know, I thought that was odd at first.
Especially the head. Oh, I love the head. Oh, the head this is my horse. And he talked about how much he loves this horse. I know, I thought that was odd at first. Especially the head.
Oh, I love the head.
Oh, the head of this beautiful horse.
That's my favorite part of my horse.
That's the best part of the horse, is the head.
I just remember, I missed that part for some reason.
I just remember him saying, but he's not going to race.
I'm just going to send him.
Leave him out to stud.
To stud.
Yeah, that horse is about to have the best life.
I know.
I was thinking that.
I just went, I want to be that horse.
Yeah.
We all want to be that horse.
Sex in a field.
Yes.
With as many horses as I want.
Sure.
But not that I want to fuck horses.
Oh, no.
We know what you mean.
Okay, good.
No one do fan art.
Listen, if I wanted to be a horse, I would have to fuck a horse.
Of course, of course. Thank be a horse, I would have to fuck a horse. Stop doing fan art.
Stop writing.
So, yes.
And, hey, guess what?
He throws him out.
He's not going to do the deal.
Wakes up.
Horse head in the bed.
Oh, my God.
So fucking shocking and gross.
And it's one of those things where you've seen the parody a million times, which I had.
So it's like.
I knew it was coming.
Right.
You know it's coming. But I
for some reason didn't pick up like,
oh, here's a horse he's talking about. Do we
think that'll be the horse head? Yeah.
I mean, I didn't think about it at all.
That horse is losing its head. But it made it way more disturbing.
Yeah. But
also, all I could think about was
those guys are really good at tucking
sheets in. Yeah.
This horse head is so-
Big!
It's like your sheet's tucked in at a hotel.
It's so tight, the tuck they get around this horse.
You got it up there, but you also managed to get it up there
in a way that he didn't feel it,
but managed to coat his whole body in blood.
Yeah, I-
He's not a light sleeper.
He moves around.
Sure.
He's a mover in the bed.
He rolls around and rolls around in the bed. He rolls around
in the blood. I don't know if this is
the most hack observation, but
I do want to see the
30 minute scene of the guys who have to
cut off the horse head and put it in the bed.
Yeah. That seems like that's
probably a Key and Peele sketch.
Yes! Oh my god, let's make it.
Matt, get
Key and Pee peel on the line
You got it first I gotta get off hold
With Emily's therapist
Hang up on the therapist
Wait I gotta call three of my ex-boyfriends
To get a dead horse head
It'll take about two days
I think we can do this in two days
So yeah so the horse head happens
Iconic scene
I mean just like Everything that happens in this movie, you're like, I know that scene.
I know that scene.
It's wild.
Then we go back.
We leave Hollywood.
We go back to New York where there's the evil mafia and then there's the good mafia.
The good mafia is the ones we follow.
The evil mafia is trying to get the good mafia to do drugs.
Yeah.
Vito, not going to do the drugs.
Not going to sell the drugs.
Not going to take the drugs.
Drugs are for losers.
They do gambling.
They do, I don't know.
Prostitution.
Prostitution.
Those are harmless vices, but drugs?
Drugs.
That's a little dangerous.
No good.
Yeah. Those are harmless vices, but drugs? Drugs, that's a little dangerous.
So he's not going to do the drugs, and he suffers for it.
He says he's not going to do it, and then he is out buying fruit and gets shot.
I think that's a little harsh.
It is.
You're right, Emily. I think that there were other ways to get their point across.
You're right.
They could have brought in a mediator.
Yeah.
Daddy Duvall.
Yeah, sure.
I just have a little side heart to heart with Daddy Duvall.
But yeah, I did not see that coming.
This scene where he gets gunned down while shopping for fruit is wild because it's in broad daylight.
Yes.
And no one around seems to be that shocked
by it no and i guess they just live in the mafia district and just are like well there there you go
yeah but to me about the worst thing about the corleones is they go places with like
nobody looking out for them all the time all the the time they'll be like, I'm going for a drive.
Somebody follow him.
No, you stay behind.
He has to drive by himself.
Yeah, well, why don't we just escort you?
No.
And it's like, you guys are-
I know.
Everyone is trying to kill you all the time.
All the time.
Why are you in a car with the dopiest of dorks driving your car around?
Because he got out and just went, uh, uh, uh.
He couldn't even get his gun out.
I was talking about Fredo.
Yeah, yeah.
Fredo Corleone, his idiot son is the one who slipped up with his gun.
He couldn't even fire it.
But it's like, don't take that kid.
Take somebody else.
Well, that's a very important plot point, fellas.
Oh.
There's a reason why Fredo is the one who did it.
It was because Pauly, who we later see get shot in the head, was in on it.
Pauly was supposed to drive him, but he called in sick because he was being paid by bad mafia.
Oh, shit.
Because, yeah, there were moments where they said certain people had been taken care of because they betrayed somebody. I'm like, I just kind of went,
okay,
I accept it.
You know me.
Like,
if I'm watching a movie
and I don't understand something,
I don't stop and rewind.
I don't ask questions.
I go,
that's probably fine.
I'm sure that's what it is.
That makes sense.
But thank you for clarifying.
Yeah,
so we get a couple more members
of the good mafia get killed.
We get,
you know,
Luca Brazzi,
the enforcer guy.
He gets stabbed and choked out.
Wow, that scene was crazy.
Intense.
And then they send the fish wrapped in his bulletproof vest.
Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
Another iconic line.
Oh, my God.
And then we get the guy who gets killed getting the cannolis.
We have leave the gun, take the cannoli.
I like that guy.
Me too.
That guy's great.
He just seems so confident.
Like when he was teaching Michael how to use the gun and get rid of the gun, the situation later on.
He's just like really-
He's a sweet guy.
He's kind of like, listen, we have wars between the families.
Yeah.
It's just something that happens.
We're due for one. Yeah. And he's like, it happens every 10 years. I love the families. Yeah, it's just something that happens. He's like, we're due for one.
Yeah, and he's like, it happens every 10 years.
I love that too.
Yeah.
It made it feel like, okay.
And this is obviously probably the coldest take observation
about this movie, but you have these crazy mafia wars
and then just mundane family shit.
Yeah.
You have people playing with the kids.
A baby's screaming. And to these people, this is just life. Yeah. Like you have people playing with the kids. A baby's screaming.
And to these people, this is just life.
Yeah.
You know, this is just life.
And while the guy is getting shot and his cannoli is taken, they are doing it behind the Statue of Liberty.
So the Statue of Liberty is facing away from them.
Whoa.
So it's either America has turned her back on certain communities or America does not look.
It looks the other way.
Whichever one of those observations is smarter, that's the one it is.
Whichever way the art was intended is the way I understood it. I understood the way that Nicolas Cage's uncle said he was doing it.
So there's this whole big bloodbath.
Michael and Kay, they're kind of like in hiding in this hotel and they're eating what appears to be Thanksgiving dinner.
They're just eating like turkey and mashed potatoes in a hotel room.
Can you just call a hotel and say, send up Thanksgiving?
I think you could if you're rich enough.
I know.
And like, it's probably January.
It's probably Christmas goose or something.
It might be some leftover goose.
It might be some leftover goose from Christmas.
And we learned that Michael's father is at the hospital.
So Michael goes to, he goes to check on him and finds that all the guards are gone.
And so it's only him and the nurse in this creepy-ass hospital.
That's so scary.
This fucking scene is amazing.
It is.
Them moving him throughout this dark hospital while you hear footsteps all around.
It's insanely suspenseful.
Nothing happens.
It's so well done.
It's amazing.
Well, you also just realize, oh, the cops are in on this.
Like, as soon as it's like the cops got all of them to leave, it's like, oh, no, you really can't get anyone to help you right now except for this young nurse.
I know.
Who they will probably just kill before thinking about it.
Yeah, exactly.
And she's, it's, where are all of her coworkers,
God damn it?
I know, I know,
this empty ass hospital.
I know.
What a great scene.
And it's like,
he's the only person
in this wing of the hospital
by himself,
and that was not
a nice hospital room.
I hate thinking about
being in a hospital room.
Every time I see someone
in a hospital bed
in an old hospital
in the movies,
I'm like,
will anyone come to see me?
I don't know.
I'll visit you.
No, you won't.
Yeah, I will.
You can watch me play Halo on your...
Ah, you bastard!
One final killing spree
before you go off to the great beyond.
Emily, I want to go back to the Thanksgiving dinner scene
because you had a wig you wanted to talk about.
Okay, so this is my... We've decided that the worst hat also applies to the worst wig.
I don't know if this is a wig, but goddamn, is it the wiggiest looking head of hair I've ever seen.
It's like, okay, Diane Keaton, it looks like they started her hairline in the back of her head, number one.
Keaton, it looks like they started her hairline in the back of her head
number one. Like,
what the fuck did she do to the
makeup department to make them curse
her? She does have a very
Benjamin Franklin ass hair.
I mean, it is like
it's totally that. It's
bizarre. It's like, get some bangs
or a hat or something.
But it's the
rest of the movie, she looks perfectly lovely this looks
crazy uh so so so so at this point michael is like fuck it i'm in the mafia now i'm gonna protect my
dad i'm gonna avenge my dad he kind of volunteers to kill the leader of the evil mafia and his like
cop the cop that's in his pocket.
Yep.
So they do this, they concoct this scheme
where he is going to have a meeting with them
and there's going to be a gun planted in the toilet
on top of the old-time toilet tank.
Another iconic scene.
Which I love that the crew,
when they're coming up with this plan,
that guy goes, hey, they got those old toilets.
I know.
And I'm like, who remembers the type of
toilet i love dude's just a fan of classic plumbing i loved that he's like he's got the
chain and everything and i'm like i like this guy i know he knows about toilets and that and that
scene you mentioned where they're teaching michael who like doesn't know how to do this like he's
been in the army but he doesn't know how to just like shoot someone in a restaurant.
And yeah, he's teaching him to do it
in just this very calm, matter of fact way.
He's like, okay, well, here's the gun.
I put some tape around the handle.
You pop them twice in the head.
It's very casual.
You gotta drop the gun afterwards.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I was like, do you do that?
Don't you want to take the evidence with you?
What are you dropping the gun for?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't understand entirely why.
Maybe someone who's listening, can you please message us and tell me why?
Free with ads at MaximumFun.org.
Why are we dropping the gun?
Why are we dropping the gun?
So this whole thing, this is another just fucking amazing chunk of movie.
Like Michael riding to the restaurant knowing he has to do this.
Oh my God. of movie like michael riding to the restaurant knowing he has to do this oh my god and it's and
then in the restaurant just waiting for them to talk so he can go get the gun like it it's so
amazing to see like pacino who we know is this big hammy actor like when we that was a really really good impression, Jordan. That was really good. I'm just getting warmed up.
Like when we, you know,
became aware of Al Pacino in the 90s,
he was already this guy
doing big.
He was the scent of a woman.
Yeah, exactly.
He had a great ass.
Do you think that's when
he started getting that way?
Was that movie?
Good question.
Yeah, when did Pacino
start to
get like so big and kooky yeah i mean scarface was a big character but i don't think it's the
same oh it's probably yeah probably scarface was the start of it that's a little bigger
but that makes sense for that character then he was just doing it now i'm this guy in every movie
but it's so amazing to watch him in this just be so internal.
It all happens on his face.
It's like all silent acting.
It's so fucking good.
Yeah.
Talk about tension.
Another cold ass take.
Al Pacino is good in The Godfather.
Damn.
Well, that's another.
My favorite things about this movie is the fucking horror movie level tension.
My God, I know.
And suspense.
The hospital one was like,
that whole scene was so suspenseful.
And you hear these footsteps coming up
and you're like, he's going to see him in the door
and then he's going to shoot.
Like, get your head out of the way.
And then it's just the baker and he's bringing flowers.
And then you're like, oh no,
now we're going to kill a baker.
This sucks.
We can't kill the baker.
But that was great.
And I feel like that character, the baker, had to help. He was he's like i would like to help and he had to do something really scary
yeah totally he was totally and it just shows how much you know everybody in this community is just
so indebted to the fucking mafia leader he's you know but also i feel like there's also this like
i don't know it's like being in a fraternity you do anything for each other right sure so I don't know. It's like being in a fraternity. You do anything for each other, too. Right, sure.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, it's, yeah, totally amazing.
I was scared shitless during that.
And then this scene, I was like, okay, maybe he's not going to do it.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Maybe he's going to be, like, better than his brother.
Nope.
Yeah, exactly.
And, you know, it's a movie about cycles, and you can't break the cycle.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And all this stuff is great.
So Michael does it and he goes to hide out in Italy.
Uh-huh.
And this whole part is just so lush and fun.
He's hanging out in Italy.
He has these guys carrying shotguns protecting him all the time who have bandoliers of bullets. Who are those guys?
I guess they're just mafia satellite guys who live in Italy.
Yeah.
And I like that these guys, they change their clothes,
and at times they put on tuxedos,
but they still have the bandolier of bullets.
That's just always part of their outfit.
Also, those shotguns were kind of gorgeous.
Shotguns were great.
Yeah.
And so he meets a Sicilian babe that he's hot for.
Apollonia.
She is a babe, too.
And, yeah, so one of the guards says, like, oh, these Sicilian women, they're more dangerous than shotguns.
And I know, you know, you got to be careful when you're cleaning your woman that she doesn't go off.
Fuck off.
Sometimes if you're cleaning the woman, she'll go off in your face.
So you've got to be really careful.
So they have this kind of weirdo love story
where they threaten her dad,
and you're not really sure if she's actually into him
or if she's afraid of him.
Yeah, that sex scene was fucking stiff.
Yeah, they have a wedding night sex scene where, yeah, you kind of don't.
And, you know, I think that's super intentional.
I think it's super intentional.
You don't know if she's actually in love with him or.
The point of that movie, that scene was so that we could play the sting.
Fucking in the mood.
There you go.
I feel like we should have another sting that's like only boobs.
Oh, yeah.
Because those are the only boobs.
Yeah.
Those are the only boobs in the movie. I feel like if you're going to only boobs in the movie i feel like if you're gonna show boobs in the movie do a couple times yeah mix it up at least nine boobs nine whole boobs and it was also strange i don't know
if you guys noticed the boobs but did you notice the areolas or skin tone yes yeah i didn't yeah
i did i just remember i noticed it i noticed too. It looks like they're censored.
Almost.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So.
It kind of looks like, do you watch, well, I guess I'm the only Hentai weirdo.
I don't know.
You don't have to say anything.
But sometimes there are like animal, like, you know, cartoon animals.
Knockouts.
Knockouts. Knockouts.
We should cut all this out.
But sometimes there's like cartoon
or animated dragons that have boobs.
Okay.
But there's like,
it's like there's no nipple.
They're like the same color
as the rest of the thing.
Maybe that's what they were going for here.
I don't know.
Francis Ford Coppola is super into hentai.
Listen.
I think everyone is secretly into it.
But everyone makes fun of me for liking it.
No, you're not wrong.
We all like it.
I don't know.
You can get real specific about it.
I'm like, what if she fucked Gaston instead of the Beast?
Yeah.
That's a great question.
I mean, it's pretty hot. It's an amazing question.
So back in America, we do some stuff around James Caan. That's a great question. I mean, it's pretty hot. It's an amazing question. So,
so back in,
back in America,
we do some stuff
around James Caan.
He's a psycho.
He's,
he's beating up
his,
his sister's husband
who is a piece of shit
and deserves to get beat up.
He's a huge piece of shit.
Yeah.
And he's the next guy
to get it.
He's at this,
he's at this toll booth
and just gets shot
a million times.
Yeah, what the fuck?
It probably has something to do with the fact that they tried to kill his dad with five bullets and couldn't.
And then he couldn't go down.
Okay, the next one, you just shoot this guy a million times.
Yes.
Just have ten guys with machine guns.
Which I thought when Don, is it Don Corleone?
Is he the oldest one?
Okay.
Sorry.
All the names, they get confusing to me.
This whole thing feels-
He's the Don.
He's the Don.
No, he's not Donald Corleone.
Okay.
But it's just, this kind of reminds me of, you know, House of the Dragon where everybody's
name is kind of the same.
Yeah, sure.
And you're just like, I don't know, the skinny one.
So when Don corleone
got shot it felt like it went on forever like i felt like he was shot way more than five times
and the fact that he survived is i know pretty wild to me yeah like i can't believe that like
old guy who can barely walk or talk yeah he just survived all these gunshots so when james khan
started getting shot up i'm like oh, oh, he'll be fine.
Yeah.
Everybody here can be fine.
Everybody here just gets shot like a fucking Looney Tune a million times and just spits the bullets out and lives on.
But yeah, so Sonny's dead.
We go back to Italy and the bad mafia blows up the car that Apollonia's in.
Oh my God.
Yeah, totally.
But why?
I don't understand it.
They already killed his brother.
Why are they killing his fucking... I think they were trying to kill him probably.
And he was teaching her to drive.
So I think they assumed it would be Michael starting the car,
but he was teaching her to drive.
Oh shit.
He was betrayed by one of his...
Yeah, one of his buddies.
One of the bandolier dudes.
I know.
And that was so bizarre to me.
That makes me even more angry.
They shouldn't have fucking-
They shouldn't have done that.
They shouldn't have negotiated a truce after that.
They should have just blew everyone away.
So that sends Michael back to New York.
We have a meeting of the five families where Don Corleone is trying to like broker a piece
and they go around to show all the
five families.
This is some of the worst hair that's ever
been in the room. All the hairlines.
If you thought her wig was bad, the like
comb overs on the five families.
Oh my god. What would you guys do?
If you lost all your hair, would you just
shave it all off or would you do like a half?
I'd Vin Diesel it. You'd Vin Diesel do like a half i'd vendicel it
you've been decelerated yeah you'd probably look great been deceling it i'd let it i'd i'd just let
my freak flag you just let it kind of i would let it do whatever weird thing it's gonna do and be
like i'm this guy now down here thing with the ball on the top i don't think it's a bad look
yeah maybe it's not i think it's fine um i would look like Larry from the Three Stooges though,
given my curly hair.
Luckily I think you two are just-
Good heads of hair.
Our hair's here to stay.
Yeah, from the neck up you guys are solid.
What the fuck?
Neck down.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
We're all gonna get old.
I'm a neck up kind of girl.
I fucking hate you.
So it's on.
They're trying to do a piece.
And then Michael shows up at Kay's work.
She's like a preschool teacher or something like that to try and get her back.
And he's trying to convince her that the family's going straight.
They've got this new piece.
They're going to go out to Vegas.
They're going to go straight.
And as they're having this conversation, you know how there's that slow movie walking where people are walking and talking but they
have to walk really slow because i never thought about it but yeah this is the slowest movie
walking and i think there's an element too because it's a period piece like we only have so many
1940s cars so you that's a good you have to be walking so slow so we don't get onto a street where people are seeing 70s Plymouths.
Yeah.
Next time you're watching this movie, just take a look at this slow movie walking.
It's so slow.
So, you know, and then finally Don Corleone does die.
He's running around with his grandkid.
Who I don't think likes him that much.
Yeah, the grandkid.
The grandkid ran pretty hot and cold, I'd say.
Yeah, sure.
He was enjoying it sometimes and other times not so much.
He thought it was hilarious when he died.
He did.
The kid kind of thought it was fun when he died.
And yeah, just another example of he didn't die from the mafia hit.
He just died in the garden with his kid.
He's just some guy.
Did you guys get the art from that scene?
Do you understand the orange motif?
No, please tell us.
He's doing that thing where you put an orange peel in your mouth.
Yeah, it's an orange peel in his mouth, and then he scares the kid with it, and then he dies.
And what fell on the ground?
What was he shopping for when he got shot?
Fruit.
Oranges.
Oh my gosh.
Oranges fell.
Death.
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
It's a motif, guys.
Motifs.
God, you don't know anything.
Monster kill.
Okay.
So the Don is dead.
We're about to reach the climax of the movie.
But first, we're going to take a little break. We're back.
It's Free With Ads.
We're talking about The Godfather.
So Don Corleone is dead.
Michael is taking control of the family.
And he is just having everyone killed.
All the enemies are getting killed.
The truce is over.
And he does the thing that his family
never could do he kills his sister's
shitty husband
they go to his house
they kind of make him
confess to betraying the family
did he really or did he just
confess I think he did
Matt can you confirm he definitely did
oh fuck him then
he was approached by bardzini to he
basically engineered the situation in which sunny would be so mad that he would drive over to beat
his ass because he had just beaten up his sister again oh my god yes so he engineered that so that
he would go through the new jersey turnpike and get shot up by those guys. He preyed on Sonny's hot-headedness.
Yes.
And it was the death of him.
I totally, that is crazy.
Yeah, it's a good movie.
Movie's good.
It's famously good.
I'm so glad that y'all are here to tell me what happened.
Yeah.
Because I thought, I was just like, yeah, you just killed that asshole.
Who cares?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I agreed with it.
He beats his wife
fuck him up
and they give him a plane ticket
I was wondering
I'm like
did they really buy that
plane ticket for him
if they knew they were
gonna kill him
I don't know
I couldn't get over that
I'm sure they could get
like was it Southwest
you can get
sometimes you can
it was Southwest
sometimes you can just
get it in points
and then use it later
oh nice yeah
you can use those points
they roll over
I'm gonna use my points
I'm gonna use my points.
I'm gonna use my Marriott Bonvoy card to get an upgrade
in my hotel room.
Get two bags for free.
So yeah, so they trick him into thinking he's gonna it's so cruel they it's great they
trick him into thinking he's like gonna get on a plane and go to Vegas but they strangle him in
the car with a garrotte wire and it's this it's this amazing shot that's on like the hood of the
car and he's like kicking for his, and he kicks through the window,
and you're just so close to that in his foot.
It's totally amazing.
It's one of the most amazing movie shots.
Yeah, yeah.
And the sounds and everything are pretty terrifying, too.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
So he did it.
So he's killed all of the enemies of the family, and he's the new Don.
But also, he's the godfather. he's the new Don. But also he's the godfather.
He's the godfather.
Of the kid whose daddy just killed.
There you go.
But we forgot about that.
He was in the church.
And so the sister, the shitty husband who they killed, they have a baby.
And Michael agreed to be the godfather of their baby.
And he's at the church doing the whole.
Baptism. Baptism. And that's when all of the godfather of their baby. And he's at the church doing the whole. Baptism.
And that's when all of the murders are happening.
Yeah.
But in that church, there was a lot of high tension, too.
There's people in the hallways and people in staircases.
And I'm like, OK, is there going to be a shooting in this church?
Totally.
Yeah.
So I kept like.
You're just so scared all the time.
All the time.
And so I'm like, look at what the fuck's going to go on this church.
And like, I don't remember a shooting happening in the church and the godfather people talking about.
And I know this isn't the point, but like the baby who's getting baptized has this fucking bonnet on.
I think that's the worst hat in the movie.
Oh, nice.
That fucking baby's wearing a stupid hat.
The worst hat.
Yeah, bitch, you wore a hat to your baptism.
Look at my hat and I'm becoming one with the Lord.
But it's like you
wore a condom to the baptism you don't wear a hat yeah you want to take the holy water to the head
yeah yeah what are you doing soak it up with a hat you put a fucking especially an ugly hat
yeah a little diaphragm on the cervix of your head baby stupid hat, the baby's got an ugly hat. That's the godfather.
Let's talk
about the best lines in the movie. Emily, do you want to go
first? So this line happens
before
he gets shot. We told him he went
and shopped for some fruit. But the way
that he says it, I just really like that
he's like five feet away from
the guy he just talked to and then talks to someone
else. You just have to hear it.
I'm going to buy some fruit.
Okay, Pop.
Oh, Merry Christmas.
I want some fruit.
So basically it just goes, I'm going to buy some fruit.
Merry Christmas.
I want some fruit.
Yeah.
Well, didn't kind of Brando famously not like to memorize his lines?
Is this maybe just Brando kind of riffing?
Well, I don't know what flourish of the pin could have made this moment any better.
But I just like, the only thing in front of this car, there's nothing else than fruit.
And he's like, I'm going to buy some fruit.
Man loves fruit.
It's like, okay.
Winter citrus is in season.
Merry Christmas, I want some fruit.
Merry Christmas, time to get an orange.
No types of fruit. Just said, I want some fruit. Merry Christmas, time to get an orange. No types of fruit.
Just said, I want some fruit.
Put all the fruit in the bag.
Just all the fruit.
And yeah, this is my best line in the movie.
This is kind of a famous line.
I'm sure you've all heard it,
but I kind of watched this movie with new eyes,
so I kind of wanted to just acknowledge it.
Yeah, this is Michael when he finally decides he's going to take over the family business.
Let's-a-go!
Okay, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Jordan.
That's not from The Godfather.
What if the mafia comes for us after this episode?
I bet they liked it.
They like a little ribbing.
Okay, I'm kidding.
This is actually my favorite line in the movie.
And this is, I mean, there's not a lot to say about this,
but I just think it's one of Al Pacino's finest performances,
and I think we should listen to it a little bit.
Okay.
Wow!
Al Pacino!
It's not Al anymore.
It's Dunk.
Dunk-a-chino? Don't mind if I do. What's my name? Dunk-a-chino! It's not Al anymore! It's Dunk! Dunk-a-Cino?
Don't mind if I do!
What's my name?
Dunk-a-Cino!
It's a whole new game!
Dunk-a-Cino!
You want dreamy goodness?
I'm your friend!
Say hello to my chocolate blend!
No! God!
I'm a donkey knight!
This whole trial is out of sight!
They pull me back in with hazelnut too!
Caramel swirl.
I know it was you.
Everyone wants my Dunkachino.
Can't get enough of my Dunkachino.
Kids from seven to 17-o.
Lining up for my Dunkachino.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
How long is this?
Literally, there is 45 more seconds left on Dunkachino.
Are you kidding me?
And it's actually him doing it. This is not AI. This is from Jack and Jill. Duncacino the rap. Are you kidding me? And it's actually him doing
it. This is not AI. This is from Jack and Jill.
This is from Jack and Jill. Oh.
Oh, it's from Jack and Jill. I thought he was just doing an ad
for like Dunkin' Donuts. I thought it was.
That is part of the movie Jack and Jill is Adam
saying. I have not seen this movie. Well, now that I know
it's part of that, then I definitely
want to see Jack and Jill.
No, Pacino is
like really great in this kind of like broad comedy stuff.
It's really funny.
But I like that he used like lines from.
It's not Al anymore.
It's Dunk.
But, you know, thinking of this, that is a great quote.
I loved that part of the movie, by the way.
I saw Robin Hood Men in Tights this past weekend.
There is an entire scene that is a parody of The Godfather in Robin Hood Men in Tights.
Oh, yeah.
Why?
You know, it's just something.
I mean, before I saw this movie, I saw 10,000 parodies of it.
Robin Hood Men in Tights included.
I think I had to have that explained to me as a kid.
It's so bizarre.
Yeah.
It's like a movie, if you haven't seen, you've actually seen it just by osmosis.
Yeah.
And I think that the fact that all
of media was shoving it down my throat like tiny tunes everybody was like that's why i kind of
avoided seeing it till now tiny tunes you mean the pigeons no oh those are the good feathers they
were parodying good oh excuse me i'm sorry also it's like and that was an animaniacs
that's right you're totally right animacs. You cooing my bird?
Still funny.
Still funny.
Still funny.
Yeah.
But I'm glad I watched it.
I've had so much fun watching it.
Yeah.
I want to see the next one.
So yeah, let's talk about what we actually thought of The Godfather and Rank It after we come back it's free with ads we're talking about The Godfather.
We are going to rank this classic movie on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials.
Emily, you want to go first?
I'm going to go ahead and give it a tippy 10.
Yep.
Because I can't believe I got to watch that for free.
Yeah.
Wild.
I mean, a complaint that I have about modern streaming services is they just fucking ditched
classic stuff altogether
there's a couple of them
that do pretty good
but like
for the most part
like try and watch a movie
pre-1980s on Netflix
there's nothing
that's true
um
it fucking sucks too
um
and yeah it's
and I think that a lot of these
a lot of the media companies
have like
they think people
don't want to watch these
so they're just
shunting them to the free with ads stuff.
Yeah.
Fucking great.
Good.
Give us all you got.
People can see them.
It's really, really cool.
Yeah.
But you liked it.
You thought it was-
I really liked it.
I'm hooked.
I really want to see the second one.
I'll rank as well.
Yeah.
Okay.
A fucking easy 10.
Easy 10.
Yeah.
I mean, this movie is so good.
It's so awesome.
And it was really nice to watch it,
like kind of trying to put the baggage out of my head,
the cultural baggage, you know, film bros or whatever.
It was just kind of nice to sit down and watch the movie
and appreciate it.
It's really great.
It's really beautiful.
And yeah, it's so cool that like classics like this
are just kind of like hanging around on YouTube. It's so cool that classics like this are just kind of like hanging around on YouTube.
For free.
It's really cool.
Also, I want to mention that this movie made me so hungry.
Oh, yeah?
All day.
I know you thought I was going to say horny.
I know.
Everyone was holding their breath.
Never.
I would never think you would.
It did not make me horny, but it did make me hungry because everyone is just like their mouths are full of pasta or lasagna or bread or something.
And it just and also something about the Italian language.
It sounds like a menu, like eating pasta.
It sounds like a menu.
No, it sounds like I don't know.
Like, I don't know.
I have a little bit of a synesthesia thing where words sound like food.
Oh, yeah. That have flavors to me. It sounds like, I don't know, I have a little bit of a synesthesia thing where words sound like food
that have flavors to me and that whole language
just feels like a noodle running through your mouth.
Hell yeah.
Delicious.
I'm hungry, I've eaten like an insane person today
because of this movie.
Delicious movie, 10 out of 10.
Very good, before we go, I wanna say that this is one
of the rare occasions in which I had to look
at the comment section.
Oh yeah, please. And so we're I had to look at the comment section. Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So we're going to do our sometime segment comment section.
Yay.
Comment section.
There's just a few that I really, really love.
One is The Godfather for free on YouTube.

And finally,
Jordan, this pertains
to what you were saying early on about the
cat. The cat loved
being there. He was a neighborhood
stray who kept wandering on
the set and Brando added him
into the scene. Oh my god.
What a fun fact.
It's a fun fact. It's a very fun
fact. Kitty! I know.
