🎵 This is Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question, why pay max $12 a month for six seasons of The Sopranos when you can go on Pluto TV for free and watch a sprawling mafia saga that won't distract you with gratuitous tits? I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. There's tits in Sopranos? Oh, yeah, times. I've got to watch these Sopranos. There are so many tits. I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. There's tits in Sopranos? Oh, yeah, tons.

I gotta watch these Sopranos. There's so many tits. Oh, wow. Today's movie is The Godfather Part II, the organized crime sequel from the future director of Captain EO, who would go on to create the perfect canned wine for sneaking into the movies. Yeah, the wine comes with a straw. A tiny, tiny straw.

Pink straw. Francis Ford Coppola, an innovator in all areas. Before we talk about this classic movie, which is, as of this recording, streaming free with ads, we're going to talk about some other free stuff we saw on the internet this week. Other free stuff. Emily, this is something I have been enjoying online for a couple weeks now. I don't know if it'll still be up when this comes out. I hope it is.

For a couple weeks now. I don't know if it'll still be up when this comes out. I hope it is. Adult Swim on their YouTube channel is doing just a always-on streaming, looping Space Ghost Coast to Coast marathon. I didn't even know they had a YouTube channel. They do. This is cool. And they're just showing every Space Ghost Coast to Coast. No way!

Did you watch this show? Of course. I had the fucking CD of all the songs. Oh, did you? Oh, my God. Yes. Okay. So Space Coast Coast to Coast, if you are younger than us, was a great, great show on Adult Swim.

They repurposed these corny old Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoons to be this kind of crazy, stony, nonsensical talk show where these characters would talk to real celebrities. It was so funny funny it was so weird you couldn't believe you were watching it there was this sense of like what is this a great show it kind of like created Adult Swim and it's for the anniversary they're just showing like looping episodes you can watch for free totally do it

wow I love I love anything that mimics cable I think that's why I love flipping around Pluto so much because it's just like flipping around cable at night and just landing on something weird. So I think Space Ghost is perfect for this. So because of this stunt that they're doing, it's gotten people online kind of remembering Space Ghost and how great it was. And one character in particular, people are talking a lot about online and it's kind of led to a a reappreciation, a kind of giving of flowers to Brack. You remember Brack?

OK, the guy who played Brack was this guy, Andy Merrill. He did the voice. He was not a voice actor. He's just a guy who worked at Adult Swim. He was like in the programming department or something. And like after Space Ghost, he kind of had a tough time. He dropped out of showbiz. I think, you know, at this point, he's like an Amazon delivery driver.

And there's been this outpouring of love for Brack and Andy Merrill, one of the funniest cartoon voiceover performances ever. And I've kind of gotten into this. I've been looking up Brack clips and I just wanted to play one in appreciation of a truly, truly hilarious performance. This is Brack picking up Freddie Prinze Jr. in a little toy car. Can we listen to it, Matt? Freddie, you know, since we're driving down Highway 40 in my big old pickup truck, I think we should sing a song called, I'm driving down Highway 40 in my big old pickup truck.

What do you think about that? Wow. Yeah, that's what I thought. Why don't you start out singing the word truck, okay? Okay. I'm driving down highway 40 in my big old pickup. Truck? Nothing 40.

I'm driving down highway 40 in my big old pickup. Truck. Now old. I'm driving down highway 40. Yeah, so that's Brack and Freddie Prinze Jr. I'm so glad you remember him. I froze on this great picture of Freddie Prinze Jr. And hey, Freddie Prinze is gaming this little bit, too.

Oh, yeah, he's having fun. That's so cool. I love, yeah, Brack is cool. I like the other, what's the Praying Mantis character? Zorak. Zorak. I love, there was a song the Praying Mantis character? Zorak. Zorak. I love, there was a song that was like Zingor or something like that. The songs on that show were so funny.

I like Beans. That was a good one too. Oh, the Beans song is great. Yeah. So many great Brack clips out there. So much great Space Ghost Coast to Coast. If the marathon is still going, look it up on YouTube. If not, I think a lot of Space Ghost is out on Max.

And there's an episode of Jellystone that I worked on where a bunch of the Space Ghost characters, including Brack, including Space Ghost, come back.

So that's in the most recent season of Jellystone. This is so cool. I'm so glad you told me about this because I didn't even know that they had a YouTube channel.

They've got like full episodes. They have a Joe Pera special over here. Oh yeah, just great background stuff to have on. Great something to just kind of throw on while you're doing chores. I, yeah. Just great background stuff to have on. Great something to just kind of throw on while you're doing chores.

I love it. I can't wait. But you know what was not great to throw on while doing chores? The Godfather Part 2. Oh, yeah. Because I basically had a lot of shit to do. And Godfather Part 1, I was able to sit and make jewelry, hang out. But this movie, it was like, okay, now we're speaking another language.

Okay, time to sit down and read. Time to read subtitles. We're jumping time periods. What fucking year is it? God. The Godfather Part II is a lot. And we will talk about it in a second. But first we wanted to mention

this movie contains some scenes of suicide. So if that is not something you want to hear about, we're going to play a little bit of music to give you a chance to find another episode. And when we come back, we're going to talk about The Godfather Part 2 Hey, we're back at Free With Ads, and we're going to talk about The Godfather Part 2 from wine magnate Francis Ford Coppola. And before we start, we should probably have a little drink while we talk about this movie.

Did you bring a drink? So I stopped by Showcase Liquor in Pasadena, a great place in Pasadena to buy liquor. Thank you. And I found the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection. Oh my God. Whoa, what did this put you back? Okay, so this is four kind of smaller bottles of Francis's wine.

We've got tasting notes on all of them. Emily, I'll give you first choice. Okay. Do you want the Rosé, the Chardonnay, the pinot noir, or the cab? And these are warm, by the way. Well, in that case, and also because I feel like Italian food requires red wine. That's my personal opinion. Do you have Italian food with you in there?

God, I wish. Do you have a plate of spaghetti? I have ravioli in my pocket. I always do. And I also think in movies, red wine looks so much more delicious in a cup than the white wine. So I think in the name of this movie, we got to do, let's do a Pinot Noir. Okay, you can have the Pinot Noir. I get the whole bottle.

I'll have the cap. You're going to let me. These are little bottles with twist-off tops. We get to drink it from Daddy's glass. Yes, that's right. Daddy's glass is the bottle. Matt, I got you something, too. I know you're a sober fella.

I am. You got me something? I hope it's some sort of couple. I also got this at Showcase Liquor. This is a Warped Tour-branded canned water. What? So it's a can of sparkling water. You can come into the studio and grab this.

That can is cool. I know. It's got a punk rock robot on it. Wait, it's a can of sparkling water. You can come into the studio. That can is cool. I know. It's got a punk rock robot on it. Wait, it's Monster. Yeah, but it has the Warped Tour logo on it. It's Monster Water. Warped Tour. What?

So the Warped Tour still happens? No. But they have a branded water now. What? There hasn't been a Warped Tour in fucking 10 years. What do you mean? How are they? I have no idea why they're doing this.

I guess they're trying to maybe bring it back, and they're like, we're going to get them through canned water, and then boom. Listen, I've never been to the Warped Tour. I always wanted to go. Oh my God, it was so much fun. If it happens, let's all go. Oh, I would love to. I'm so down to go to the Warped Tour.

One time, quick story. I went to go see Slipknot with Matt, but I had to show. Oh, God, I cried the whole night. Yeah. Not because it was scary, but because she got pickpocketed. It was a little scary. So I don't drive, as you guys know, and I'm doing it for the safety of America. So I took an Uber. Where was the concert, Matt?

It was over at the Bank of California Stadium in downtown LA. It's like a small stadium that's usually host to the LA Los Angeles Football Club, but they also do concerts. But it is pretty, I thought it was pretty vast. But so I went Uber there and then I was going to meet like Matt outside because he had the tickets. Or no, did I have a, yeah, you were going to meet me outside. No, the tickets were on my phone, and this is what happened. So I had to go – you can't take a person there. You have to have a clear thing.

Yeah. So I had to go over to this, like, truck where you rent a locker and put your shit in the locker. And so I paid for that and put my shit in the locker. I had my phone in my back pocket. I was walking to the entrance. Somebody walked by me, and I felt something, and put my shit in the locker. I had my phone in my back pocket. I was walking to the entrance. Somebody walked by me and I felt something and they took my phone. Oh, my gosh. Was it a street urchin?

No, I think it was just a person walking by. I mean, if you're going to get like, you know, pickpocketed, Slipknot concert, probably going to be it. Probably going to be it. But if I had had it in my purse, which would have been great, nobody would have taken it, but they made me put my purse in a fucking locker. Anyway, the joke's on them. I had brass knuckles in my pussy, and I just brought them right in. There you go. No, so I couldn't get in, and I couldn't contact Matt,

and I couldn't get a ride home. I was stranded. But it all worked out because I found you outside. Well, also because this lovely, and no one would help me because they thought I was crazy because it's a Slipknot concert. Yeah, and you were crying. And I was crying a lot. And like none of the security people would help me. But there was one ticket counter lady who did help me.

Let me use her phone. I went on Instagram, instagram her instagram and then commented under matt's like posts on instagram like help this is emily using someone else's phone i need you to help and you saw them that's ingenious that's kind of a that's yeah thank you but i think we all want to know how was slipknot i didn't see them once i was crying in the bathroom she got in she's like okay i uh'm going to go to the bathroom and cry. And she literally did. And I felt bad because it was a great show.

Wow. It was really a lot of fun. It was so stressful. All right, well, if Slipknot comes to town, if the Warped Tour ever gets going again, we're all going. That's right. Let's just take a minute, too. And I know we're delaying talking about the movie.

We have tasting notes here on the box. And I just want to compare. This is delicious. Let's see. Which one do you have again, Emily? I have the Pinot Noir. Okay, Pinot Noir. Let me read the tasting notes for you. Boasts a silky texture and dazzling perfume

of crushed raspberries, rose petals, and tea leaves, followed by luscious flavors of plums, strawberries, and spice. Pairs well with lasagna, roasted chicken, and mushroom risotto. There it is. I love that they tell you what kind of Italian food it pairs with. Like you're not going to go buy a Stouffer's lasagna. Can I tell you, after sipping this now, I'm like, I want some penne alla vodka right now.

That's good. I love penne alla vodka. God, I love it too. I'm drinking the Cab. The tasting notes are, it's highly concentrated with aromas of blackberries, cherries, and spice with flavors of plums, currants, dried herbs, and toasted oak. Pairs well with barbecue chicken,

beef stroganoff pasta, mushroom, and sausage pizza. And a hot dog that you boil and roll up in a tortilla. Because that's what I'm going to be eating. That does sound kind of good though. Hot dog burrito? Hell yeah. Yeah, do you like layer it with shredded cheese and then put it on a skillet for a little bit and then roll

it up? You know I do, baby. This bachelor's eating good. I eat it right out of the plastic. Ew. I just shove it in my mouth and I go, kill me. God, I want a hot dog now. I'm just hungry. And if I've had a really good month, I add a can of Hormel chili. Oh, nice.

So, Hormel chili, that makes me think about Rotel. You know what Rotel is? I don't. So, Hormel Chili. That makes me think about Rotel. Do you know what Rotel is? I don't. It's like, I think it's canned pimentos or like peppers or whatever. But Rotel dip is like when you put Velveeta cheese in a crock pot and then a can of Rotel. That sounds like it would go great with notes of currant.

Oh. So, hey, let's talk about what some say is the greatest movie ever made. So The Godfather's Part 2, it starts with a funeral. The first one starts with a wedding. This one starts with a funeral. That's something I noticed because I'm a smart man. Can I just say something really quick? I want to thank you so much,

Jordan, for writing the description of this movie because that's probably just, that was a crazy amount of work. Also, I can't wait for you to of this movie, because that's probably just that was a crazy amount of work. Also, I can't wait for you to explain this movie to me. Sure. Yeah. I'm going to be honest.

I don't know what the fuck happened at all. Well, a lot happens. There's a lot of movie in this movie. We're starting out with the funeral. This is back in time. This is young Vito Corleone's childhood. It looks like fucking Jesus time. I know it's in Italy, but-

It's like Sicily back in the day. 1901. 1901, that's basically Jesus time. So he's- The dinosaurs were there. It's a funeral for his father, who was killed by a local mafia guy. Yeah.

A lot of daddy issues in this movie, called The Godfather, appropriately. Oh, yeah. So There's a sniper at the funeral, kills a bunch of people, and Vito's mom goes to the mafia guy to just plead with him not to kill my son. Please don't kill my son.

Well, he killed her other son. I know. Kills Vito's brother, Paolo. So sad. But the mafia guy's reasoning is that this kid's going to grow up to take revenge. He does. This is one smart mafia guy. That's the best part of the whole fucking movie. That is a good revenge part.

I like that a lot. And then they blow his mom away with a shotgun, and she flies back like Goldie Hawn. In Overboard? I was going to say, no, in Death Becomes Her. Remember when Goldie Hawn gets blasted with that shotgun? I remember. She flies back. It is kind of slapsticky.

I guess that's just what happens when you get shot with a shotgun. I guess that this mafia can only shoot people at close range because the kid just runs away and they're unable to shoot him. I don't understand. They're right behind him. It's 1901 guns. You really had to be right up there. They're like right behind him. It's 1901 guns. You know, you really had to be right up there. They're practically muskets.

Yeah, that's okay. For sure. Yeah. So Young Vito gets inside of a donkey sack and goes to America like you did. Okay. So that's the start of that story. We have that story of Young Vito.

Yeah, he ends up at Ellis Island. Where was he sleeping? What was that? He was in a sanitarium or sanatorium. Sanatorium. I got to be honest. He was quarantined because he had a bunch of diseases and stuff. He came from Italy.

He's a dirty little. He's riding around in a donkey sack. You're going to get some diseases when you're riding around in a donkey sack. But also, I was looking at that room and I was like, why do I like that room? Dude, can you imagine the rent in that room now? That's what I was thinking about. I was thinking about it. A DJ pays $2,500 a month for that tiny child jail.

But no, I was looking at it and going, God, when I lived in New York, the fucking places I lived in, I was like, I would have given anything to live in that cell. Good view. It had a freaking view of the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, and you got a ledge at the window and a chair. That's a fucking desk. Concrete walls. Yeah. I mean, you heard the echo when he was singing that little Italian song.

A free bed. Yeah, free bed. There's a comedian who headlines the bell house who now splits that with two members of a noise rock band. So yeah, that's the start of Young Vito's story. And then we go to Michael's story. It is the continuation of the story we saw in The Godfather Part One.

Can I stop you? Because the kid who plays Vito looks exactly like the kid, the grandson. So I was like, wait, is this time travel? What is this? Is this a fantasy? There's no time travel in the Godfather franchise. I was just like, I don't get it. I don't get it.

I immediately got confused. Every time there's a time jump. So I thought, you know, we jump to 1940, but they don't even say, they go, and this is his grandson. And we're like, who's grandson? Oh, that other kid's grandson. Okay. And then it's his first communion, the grandsons or whatever. And he does look like the kid in that shot.

He looks exactly like the kid who plays baby Vito. Yes. But then they're doing the, you doing the first communion party right after this. And I thought that all the old characters were just playing the past versions of themselves. Okay. This movie cannot survive your ADHD. No. I was like, I had to rewind it so many times.

To start out with that assumption. Do you understand? I'm not surprised the rest of it didn't make sense. It took me five hours to watch this movie because I had to keep rewinding it because I was like, what? I don't know. Every time we go back in time, I'd be like, well, fuck, I gotta watch that again. I think, Matt, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think they know that that's something that happened to people. There is a recut version of The Godfather, right, that is all sequential?

Yes. Yeah. But I don't know if they did that because people were confused. Like, I don't know how many Emilys there are out there who just were like. Well, that's kind of nice. Yeah. I think, no. You're one of a kind.

You're one of a kind. God broke the mold when he made your brain. You're confusing me with time jumping and you're going to make me read? What the fuck? I don't have enough medication for this. I believe the sequential version of the Godfather, I think it's called Godfather Saga, was more about putting it on television and making it into a TV show format. For the mouth breathers.

For the mouth breathers. Yeah, exactly. Oh, okay. People who don't really understand art. Hey, go watch this after Young Sheldon. Here's something for you to watch after you shove some Sheldon in your gob. Yeah, you see some Young Sheldon and then you get to see some Young Vito. It's perfect.

I like my television young. So I just wanted to tell you that the first communion when we cut to that, I was like, oh, everyone's playing themselves from the past. Okay, yes. But I was incorrect. I love where your brain goes. This is amazing. That would be a cool stunt. I want your version of the Godfather 2 so bad.

And it's weird. I can keep up with Game of Thrones, but this, no. Yeah. I think it's because everyone is just men in brown suits. And I can't. A lot of similar men in this. A lot of similar men. So, yes, as you mentioned, we're at at it. A lot of similar men in this. A lot of similar men. So yes,

as you mentioned, we're at the First Communion party and it is wild. The entertainment at the First Communion party, a party for a child, includes an erotic tango. Yeah.

They're doing an erotic tango for this child party. It didn't seem as lit as the wedding from Godfather 1 at the beginning of that movie. It didn't. I still wanted to do this and I want to, at some point, I want the wedding from Godfather 1 at the beginning of that movie? It didn't. I still wanted to do this.

And I want to, at some point, I want to rank the Godfather parties. Oh, hell yeah. I did want to go to this communion. I agree, not quite as cool as the wedding. Not at all. And you could tell because What's-His-Face was complaining about the food. Right, yeah. And I was like, yeah, where's all the pasta?

I don't see anything. They gave you a Ritz cracker and some ketchup. Chopped pepper. As we mentioned, Frank is there. He's a guy from the old neighborhood. He's there from Brooklyn. And we meet him and he's drinking out of a hose. It's so funny.

Oh my God, I forgot. He's just drinking water out of a hose. That's so funny because I forgot about that. I was watching it and then I just went, that's my kind of guy. Drinking out of a hose. I just found out recently you're not supposed to do that. Yeah. I did that as well. No, because Giardia.

What's that? I don't know, but they say you can get it. That sounds like a medication for HIV. Thanks, Giardia. I can ride a bike and go to a book club. I guess the water from a hose comes from groundwater. Uh-huh.

Or something. Somebody told me about that. Not from the plumbing. It's all superstition. Or something, and you're not supposed to do it. But when I was a kid- Hose water's good for you. It builds character.

But I would get locked out of my parents' house when I would come back home after elementary school because I'd forget my keys. How often? That you're drinking out of the hose? So often. I was like surviving in the elements because I would forget the keys to get into my parents' house. I did kick in a window in the basement and climb through.

And then my dad was like, why is there a broken window down here? And I'm like, I don't know. Why are you drinking out of the hose inside the house? Yeah, you've extended the hose. You've bought another hose. I just like it out of the hose, Dad. I learned it from watching you. I learned it from watching you.

Anyway, back to what some consider the greatest movie in the world. Some people not including Emily Fleming. So that's kind of the start of the Michael story. There is a senator there who he's kind of the start of the Michael story. There is a senator there who he's kind of like bribing to get like casino rights. Hated him immediately. This senator hates Italians. Yeah, he didn't pronounce the name correctly.

Yeah. What was the kid's name? He says Vito Corlea. Right. So this is like an anti-Italian dude, and he kind of gives it to Michael. He's like, I don't like dealing with your people. But he got all this money from them. I know.

And kind of like what you said, Jordan, in the first Godfather. You wonder, how the fuck does this guy not know how to pronounce Vito? I think he did it on purpose. I actually think it's because he hasn't seen the Godfather yet. That's true. Right. purpose yeah yeah i actually think it's because he hasn't seen the godfather that's true right i thought it was he at first i rewound it because i was like how embarrassing he said and then i when you watch the scene later on when he does it correctly i'm like oh he did that shit on purpose what a little bitch like um so yeah so i think he is being a little bitch yeah

gee i'm i'm with you um so yeah so then we go back to Vito's story. He's all grown up. He's got a wife and kid, and he is watching the worst play in the world. This fucking play, it's just, it's- It's an opera, isn't it? No, it's like a vaudeville play. Yeah. Oh, okay. It's like two people.

It's a man and a woman. He's wearing a suit, and they're doing, I'm going to do it, and I know people can't see. How would you describe this? What am I doing? The Charleston? I'm just moving my arms back and forth. When a coal prospector gets really excited.

Yes! Yes, I'm doing the there's gold in them thar hills dance. That's the play he's watching. Have I ever told you that I was actually in a local theater production in Tennessee of Lil Abner? You have. I played. I have. I've told you that.

I was Daisy Mae. Oh, very nice. And did you do this? Did you do this arms back and forth dance that they did in this play? Sure did. And I also did the music, man. I'm pretty sure that it's the shapoopy, like a fucking dance. Oh, okay.

It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we learn there that Vito's neighborhood is ruled by a mafia guy called the Black Hand. Cool name. But Vito, he's not going to get involved with the Black Hand. He just doesn't wash his hands. Yeah, sure. Just a real dirty hand.

And we should point out that no Marlon Brando in this movie. Young Vito Corleone is played by a young Robert De Niro. There you go. Yes, I should have mentioned that. Is it too early to do Hunkwatch? No, it ain't. It's Hunkwatch. Yay!

Young De Niro. Robert De Niro. Looking great. Fuck me, daddy. I mean, it is, there is no one more beautiful than young Robert De Niro. I think he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. And he looks great in this. And again, Robert De Niro. I think he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. And he looks great in this.

And again, Robert De Niro, I think, is a guy that when we all became aware of pop culture was already kind of being a parody of himself. Oh, exactly. He was being like a goofy version of mafia guy. And I respect it even more after seeing how fucking hot he was. And I do think Robert De Niro is funny

when he does some of those broad comedies. But again, in this movie, kind of like Pacino, he's giving like a small, very internal performance. And he's so fucking good. They're perfect together too. And I'm like,

have they ever done any other movies together? They've done Heat. Heat. And they've done The Irishman. Oh, yes, yes. And I think there's one other. Also, by the way, Heat is currently free with ads on YouTube.

Yeah, and it's got a great ass. And you know what? It also might be one of the fucking longest movies of all time. I can't do another long one like this for a while, guys. I need a fucking break. So. Is he your hunk, too? Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Okay. Yeah, Young De Niro. Oh, my God. Come on. Actually, Young De Niro. Oh my God. Come on. Actually, maybe he's second. We'll get to my primary hunk. Scandalous. Matt's nodding.

I think he knows the hunk I'm talking about. What are you talking about? Well, we'll get there. So we're back in Michael's story. He goes to Miami and we see him get off the plane and he passes by a giant horse statue. Horse. Remember the horse thing from the first movie? Oh, shit.

Connections. I'm smart. I watch the movie, and I think about the movie with my brain. I know many things. You come, listen, I say funny stuff, but also I know, say I'm smart in the comments. Of all these four seasons he's playing right now.

So Michael is kind of like, he's expanding the empire. He's in Miami. Tell me I'm... Seasons is playing right now. So Michael is kind of like, he's expanding the empire. He's in Miami. We're going to find out later. He's in Cuba. Back in Vegas, the shitty senator, he gets in the pocket of the mafia because he's at a brothel. By the way, this brothel looks terrible. Looks like an old West type brothel.

It looks like a bunch of shipping containers. I mean, zhuzh up the brothel. I don't know. Have some fun lamps. But also, I was confused. Okay, so he was a dick at the christening, or not christening, the communion. So he was a dick on stage for mispronouncing the name. But then he went and had a meeting with Michael Corleone and just said flat out out i don't like your people but like i'll do business with you whatever fuck you

and you're like oh they're gonna get him sure did they kill that prostitute great question i think we don't see i think i think we are led to believe that he killed the prostitute i didn't believe it and he's like playing like i don't playing like, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. But maybe, maybe there is. You should probably ask your resident Godfather expert. Okay, what do you think? Matt, what happened?

What happened is all implied. You don't actually know for sure. But you're seeing that, you know, the senator is freaking out because he doesn't remember anything. But you also see Al Neary, who you see later in this movie, he's one of the hit men, one of the button men for the Corleone family, looking at Tom Hagen with this knowing look,

kind of wiping his hands. He fucking did it. It's implied that they drugged him, murdered the prostitute while she was tied up. Totally. And then he woke up and now he's in the pocket of big Corleone. Because also, my former hunk watch from Godfather 1, Robert Duvall, still daddy. Still hunky.

Still daddy, but De Niro walked in and it was like, sorry, buddy. But he shows up. Did he get a call from the senator? And that's why he was there. It just felt like he showed up and opened the door and went, well, looky here. Sure. I'm just going around in this brothel opening doors. That's what I like to do.

I like to go into a brothel and start opening doors. Yeah, it just felt really convenient. So, I mean, this kind of makes sense. I will say, you know, not to be all IMDB goofs here, this prostitute is breathing. She is taking deep breaths. If you watch this scene again, with as many times as we've remastered and recut this movie,

can we make it so this dead woman is not breathing? Freeze frame her or something. Can we get Andy Serkis in a mocap suit to play a dead woman who's not taking deep, laborious breaths? It's all in the eyes. Getting murdered is a workout, okay? You're right, you're right. Great for the core to get murdered.

But also, what was so sad is like, okay, the senator, I guess, is into a little bondage. And he's like, I've done this with her before and I would never hurt her. And I was like, oh, I believe this asshole. And I kind of feel bad for him right now. I know. Which is so problematic because he's a racist. He's a racist, but he's also kinky. So it's like, you know, two things can exist at once. Two things can be true.

That's right. So Michael is in Cuba, as we mentioned. He's meeting with a rival mafia guy. And it's his birthday party. And they're having cake. They shoot the fuck out of this cake. I was sure there was going to be a bomb in the cake. Oh, really?

With as many cake close-ups as we get. Make sure everybody sees the cake. I was like, who the fuck passes a cake around to look at it? I mean, okay, we know Francis Ford Coppola has a wine business. Does he have a bakery? Is this product placement for Coppola cakes? Well, i know that what the ending of the movie which we'll get to now that's an epic cake that was in the the final throw it like the final flashback oh that is a great cake i i really enjoyed looking at that cake godfather 2 is a cake movie i've

always said it it is a cake movie because you're certainly not getting fucking pasta. Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Godfather 2 is a cake movie. That would make Michael Corleone a cake boss. He's a cake boss. They should call this movie The Cake Boss. He's a cake boss. There you go. Oh, yeah.

Okay. There you go. Oh, yeah. Okay, so in Cuba, Fredo's there, and he takes everybody to see a show. Hey, I think it's time for Hunk Watch. It's Hunk Watch. So this show that they're seeing is like an underground sex show. It has a lot of women dressed like priestesses, and they disrobe a guy that is implied that this guy has a giant dick,

and that's why everyone's there. To see the giant dick. We cut right as this guy is disrobing. We don't even see the dick. Is that because we were watching a special cut of the movie? No, they never show the dick. I've seen every version of this. They never show the dick. Jesus Christ. Anyway, I think this big dick guy,, yeah, because they never. I've seen every version of this. They never show the dick. Jesus Christ.

Anyway, I think this big dick guy, he's the hunk watch. Yes, yes. Yeah, I mean, come on. It's the biggest dick in the movie. So it's funny because we have Vito in the flashback seeing the world's worst play, and they're seeing the world's best play. So there's another fun connection. Okay, so they're hanging around in Cuba,

and it is implied that there's a mole within the family that like all this bad stuff is happening. Yeah. And Fredo, the shitty fail son of the family, lets it slip that it's him. There's a big New Year's party in Cuba. That's where you get the line, Fredo, you broke my heart.

I mean, he took you to the big dick show. That should make up for it, right? broke my heart i mean he took you to the big dick show that should make up for it right the dude had the idea to go to the big show you know what's crazy about this is um so just so people understand that we we've seen the movie uh is uh the what happens is you find out that fredo betrayed family. There's a shooting that happens after the communion event. Yeah. And you find out that Fredo is the one who was actually, you know, accidentally let people in. And can I say that jump scare of the shooting that happens in Michael Corleone's bedroom. Yeah, yeah.

With Diane Keaton. Freaky. I'm only going to refer to these people as the actress or actor's names because I don't know any of their names. Yeah, that's fine. But help me out, Matt. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm not going to.

That's their names. Anyway, that scared the fucking shit out of me. Yeah, it's very scary. But I also was like, I want a husband who will protect me from a shooter. Yeah. Wouldn't that be nice? It was romantic.

I would have left. Yeah. I would have been like, she's right here. But so you find out that Fredo knows this guy, Johnny Ola. Johnny Ola, by the way, the actor who plays him,

also played Junior Soprano on The Sopranos. Hey, that's a fun connection. And it's fun facts. It's fun facts. That's fun facts. And also, in that moment where Fredo Corleone, like, you can tell he's feeling guilty about the fact that he betrayed Michael. He has a banana daiquiri with him,

and he says this line where he goes, why haven't we ever hung out like this before? And I literally had a girlfriend one time who said something like that and i went oh she cheated because we we were both like on the road uh away from each other and we were like doing some we called on the phone we hadn't done that in a while you know and just talked and made jokes and she said like how come we haven't done this before? And I was like, that's what Fredo said before you find out he's the one who betrayed Michael. So the point is, is John Cazale, Fredo Corleone, great actor.

Great actor. Yeah. Banana daiquiri. What the fuck? I love all of the choices they make about the stuff Fredo is into. Him drinking banana because he's like this tacky, dumb guy. Yeah. He drinks daiquiris.

We see him in an all-pink suit. Did you notice Fredo's bedroom? There's a quick shot of Fredo's all-black silk bedroom. He answered the phone, and he's got this blonde- This is bedroom check-in with Emily. No, I do love bedrooms. I know. I like hearing your takes on the bedroom. I also have thoughts about the furniture in this

movie and I feel like a lot of people's homes still look like this. Those crazy like ornate wooden sculptural kind of couches that are like wooden with just two cushions and then wooden legs. Probably not that comfortable but they look great. No fuck that. Who cares. Like you gotta get up and shoot people.

You don't wanna sit down for too long. That's true. But the bimbo kind of wife of Fredo, fucking love her. Yeah. So Fredo's wife at the party for that First Communion, that dress, I'm obsessed with that dress. I'm gonna think about that dress for a long time.

The pink is stunning look up, what is her character's name? it doesn't matter but ladies if you're listening to this and you want to see the coolest dress you've ever seen, look up Fredo's Wife's pink dress you'll have a fantasy about this dress forever but that bedroom is so

like it seems 70's trashy porn star in a way. Yeah, it's like all black, it's all velvet. It's so cool. But it also makes me think about Michael Corleone. Is it Corleone or Corleone? Corleone.

Okay, Corleone's car in this movie is like a black and red Batmobile situation. Oh, I didn't notice the car. Oh, that car is fucking cool. Anyway, so continue. Yes, absolutely. Okay, so back in the Vito story, he's going to take down the Black Hand.

He kind of ambushes the Black Hand during some sort of Italian Day Parade. I didn't know what this was for. It looked rad. Someone got a sandwich. This looks fun. I want to go to every event in these movies. That's true. I think it go to every event in these movies.

That's true. I think it's maybe wedding for me. My ranking of the Godfather parties is wedding from the first movie, communion, and then Italian day. But I could shake those up. These all look really fun. Yeah. The funerals suck so far. Like that first one from this movie. Yeah, where all those people died.

Not a great party. Didn't look fun. I didn't even see any food. I wouldn't even call it a party. No babes either. Yeah, where all those people died. Not a great party. Didn't look fun. I didn't even see any food. I wouldn't even call it a party. No babes either. Yeah, no kidding. Where's the sexy dancers? Yeah, there was just one lady and she was cradling her dead son.

Yeah. Come on, lady, put down your dead son and dump him out. She was really beautiful, though. No, she was very beautiful. Yes. So I guess there was a babe at the funeral I was wrong So he waits until the

Fireworks the Italian day fireworks Are going off and he kills the guy And now he's the guy He's the guy of the movie I love this synopsis Recap of this movie He kills the guy and now he's the guy. And now he's the guy.

That is what The Godfather is. Well, I'm appreciating the dumbing down for me personally. Yeah, no, it's helpful. Because I need it. And I just want people to know that if you're like me, which nobody is, I feel like everyone can follow this movie except for me. But if you're like me, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay to not know what the fuck is going on in The Godfather 2.

We're all having a great time. All right, cool. And then later he's like getting oranges because you know he gets oranges in the first movie i was like oh a connection they're like maybe cool with the oranges godfather we get it so back in the michael story they're in court and this the senator who's gone through this whole ordeal in testifying before the senate this guy now loves italians oh my god he is so like performative with how much he loves italians it's so funny i loved the twist can i ask do we know why they're there who is it like did how did they get busted like why are they on this what's going on it sounds like you're

in need of a godfather expert yes yes, yes, yes. Matt's the guy. I'm the guy. So that is kind of a Senate hearing going on. Yes. Looking into the mob. Kind of the way Bobby Kennedy did in the 60s. Right, but what triggered it? Like, is it because of the cop killing? It's because there are witnesses now who are going to be testifying.

And one of the witnesses is supposed to be Frank Pentangeli. So he's the guy drinking from the hose. Hose guy. Hose guy earlier in the movie goes up to Michael and says, hey, can you help me out with this problem I have with these guys in New York? Michael's not a New York guy anymore. He lives in Tahoe. And he's like, you know what? Don't mess with them.

I have this deal in Cuba. Don't mess with them i have this deal in cuba don't mess with them yeah so uh the guys uh the deal that's going on in cuba falls apart because the guy hyman roth is the old hyman the cake guy the cake guy uh i love it so cake boss uh is at pulls off pussy boss he pulls off a plan to uh to fake killantangeli by choking him out but not finishing the job. Oh, I remember that. And he says, Michael Corleone says hello, but that is not actually who ordered the hit. Okay. The person who ordered the hit was Hyman Roth.

He did that so he would testify against Michael Corleone. Some could say that he broke his silence yeah some could say he broke omerta yes somebody's hymen oh okay i see weird yeah he broke the hymen of omerta why the fuck would you name anyone hymen listen it's just this is i have i have uh it's almost like a pussy galore situation we listen in the jewish old timey-timey community, it's like an old Jew name. It is? Yeah, yeah. Dr. Hyman Lieb was a very respected physician.

He's my great-grandfather. Was he a gynecologist? Of course he was. His name was Hyman. Was he really? No. I don't know. Nominative determinism.

Of course I love my great-grandfather penis dick balls. Morris. But yes, so what you're seeing is kind of a hearing into the mafia, and yes, and that's why. Okay. My great-grandfather had a weird southern guy name, Penuel Gatewood. Penuel?

Penuel Gatewood Dunn, yeah. Penuel? They call him PG. Penuel, that's between the butthole and the balls, right? That is, yes. Don't neglect the penuel It's very sensitive A lot of nerve endings

In the penuel Wait wait His middle name was Gatewood Gatewood yeah Wow And it was a southern thing Where they called him His whole name

What a very extravagant name I love that actually What do they call him for short Payanus Yes Paganus Penpen Anyway

Back to what some consider the greatest movie ever made So this hearing happens And Frank doesn't testify He goes to jail for the family And now it's time For Michael to take down all his enemies He goes to Fredo And he says that he will not

Kill Fredo while their mother is alive And Fredo kind of says that he will not kill Fredo while their mother is alive and Fredo kind of confesses to it and it's fucking heartbreaking. This is such a wonderful scene. This is such a great scene and the fact that Fredo in this movie can go from just a fucking clown

to this tragic figure. It's just such a beautiful part of this movie. Which is who he really is. Is this like really I I don't know, like soft, like mousy sweet guy. And he just feels like he's been passed over. He feels like he's a failure because he is. He is, yeah. And so he's, you know, the betrayal was him trying to get his own thing.

And I want to play a little bit of this scene because I think it is so great. I can handle things. I'm smart. Not like everybody says. Like, dumb. I'm smart and I want respect. That's me when I notice things in the movie. I'm smart.

I noticed that the first movie started with the wedding and this one started. I noticed the horse. I'm smart. Honestly, I feel like that's you. And then my whole personality with this movie is I like that hose drinking guy. My whole thing is like, hey, drink

out of the hose, hosie. That's my favorite part. I was like, maybe I'm Italian. You're when Fredo asks how you say banana daiquiri in Spanish. We go to Italy to finish out the Vito story. He gets revenge on the old mafia guy

that killed his mom. He goes there with the cover story that he's selling olive oil, and he guts the guy with a knife. Really great scene. Holy shit. And the guy is almost dead. This guy on the porch is so close to death anyway,

and he still just gets gutted. Also, another cool car. That car that they were riding in was pretty rad. Great car. Great old time car. Jay Leno has that car right now and he's driving to Bob's Big Boy.

Yeah. He's driving to Bob's Big Boy also to shoot Don Tomasino. Leno is vengeful. I got another clothing thing. Robert De Niro's gorgeous chocolate brown suit when he goes to get his revenge.

I've never seen like, I like suiting a lot. I've always wanted a navy pinstripe suit. Double breasted. That's my fantasy is to get like a, you know, made to measure suit. But that brown suit, now I'm like, like fuck do i want a brown suit too i'm gonna be spending like 10 grand on this shit one day when i get 10 grand in my bank account someday

uh someday but um what did he say to him before he killed him what was that so he's pretending to be an olive oil salesman which we couldn't come up with another fake job no i think that is actually i think that is part of his mafia cover. He actually is an olive oil salesman. It's just that's his front is this olive oil business that he bought out. Jenko Olive Oil. I mean, it is like that is, I love that job.

It's like the only other thing could be I don't know, plumber? Yeah. In overalls? Yeah, bucco di beppo proprietor. I'm John Bucca. I'm Mr. Macaroni Grilled. overalls yeah bucco di beppo proprietor when i i'm john bucca i'm mr macaroni grill so what he says to him um it's because uh the plumber thing was a mario reference oh we we all knew okay i didn't want people to think that i just think that all italians are plumbers i don't think people think that okay um so what he says He asks him to come closer

And then he asks You know the old man He goes Kubo Tikiya So what's your name? And he says Tikiya Vito Andolini My name is Vito Andolini

And then he gets closer And he goes And this is for you And then he stabs him in the stomach. Holy shit. And then he cries something like, you son of a bitch. That shit was so. I know.

He drags the freaking knife. God. And you could see the resistance, too. It was like really good. There's some great death scenes, but there is also a hilarious death scene that I want to talk about later. Yeah, sure. Let's talk about it now. We're almost done with the movie. I think the death scene you're talking about

is Vito killing the Black Hand during the Italian fireworks. Which, oh my god, what a dream to do a death scene. I still before I die would like to be in a movie doing something. Do you want to die or do you want to kill someone? Well, I just want

to be... An extra in the scene. I want to be a do you want to kill someone? Well, I just want to be an extra in the scene. I want to be a dead body prostitute taking deep belly breaths. Doing yoga during your death scene. Taking deep chakra breaths. I get killed in a movie. You did? In the

ABCs of Death 2. It is an anthology movie. I am in it and I get my brain taken out, and my brain gets put into a gorilla. Jordan, why don't I know about this? No, I don't know. ABC's of Death 2. Can we invite the gorilla on the podcast?

Me and the gorilla didn't get along. Oh, no. I hate those behind-the-scenes stories. It was a Vin Diesel The Rock situation. I'm so excited that I have something to masturbate to later. It's hot. Let me know when you finish. Do a freeze frame.

But yeah, I mean, that was a pretty epic scene. I don't know how they did the practical effects on that because it looked rad as fuck. But I don't know. I felt that when I was watching it. I was like, ugh. And the black hand, this movie is full of really small, specific performances, but the black hand is over the top. I love it.

I know. He's given a real campy, scenery-chewing performance. It's pretty fun and funny. Also, getting shot in the cheek sounds like the most painful and slow way to die because, I don't know. That feels like a weird place to shoot a person. He holds himself up for, like, three extra seconds before he falls.

It took three business days for him to fucking drop to the floor. And when he dropped to the floor, he did not fall backwards. He just dropped it like it was not. And it was the funniest. I died laughing watching that thing. He falls funny. Please go watch it, like, from right when he gets hit in the funniest. I died laughing watching that thing. He falls funny. Please go watch it from right when he gets hit in the cheek, and then he just drops. I love it so much.

It's comedy. Yeah. It's very funny. So we're finishing out here. Back in the Michael story, his mom dies. I thought you almost said Michael's store, and I went, ooh. Let's head to Michael's and buy some puppy paint. If you guys want to go on a Michael's store date, I would love that.

Someday. Okay, continue. Yeah, let's record live from a Michael's sometime. Honestly, we could just go in the fucking- And we could watch Michael, the movie starring John Travolta as the angel. Oh, that would be fun. I watched it, you guys. I love that movie.

I watched it the other day. I love it so much. I saw that in the theaters. I don't think I've watched it recently. I saw it in the theaters, too. Me, too've watched it recently. I saw it in the theaters too. Me too. Did we all go to the same theater? Oh my God.

Oh my God. Were we all in the same showing of John Travolta's Michael? Are you guys related to me? I'm so glad we found each other again. We did. Now here we are. Time really is a flat circle. And of course the prestige.

Don't talk about time. I don't know when it's happening anymore. It's hard to say. Because of Thefather 2 this movie yeah okay we're about to get to the thrilling climax of godfather part two but first we're gonna take a little break We're back. It's Free With Ads. I'm going to sprint to the end of The Godfather Part 2. Okay, back in the Michael story. Mom's dead.

That means Fredo's in trouble because that was why they were keeping Fredo alive for mom. But then at the funeral, Michael forgives Fredo. It's a really beautiful scene. I cried. Yeah. But just like, spoiler alert, he kills Fredo anyway. This is just such a great example of how fucking brutal Michael has become. Yes.

Like he is now like just this unfeeling monster he starts the first movie is this kind of sweet guy who came back from war and doesn't want to get into the family business and now not only is he killing people but he's like destroying them emotionally yeah it's really wild he did the same thing to uh connie's um husband yeah uh at the end of the first one. He convinced him that everything was going to be all right. Gave him a fucking fake plane ticket. Gave him a fake plane ticket.

And then choked him out in the car. But don't you think that's kind of like- That's how the mafia do. No, it's kind of like how you remove a Band-Aid when you're a kid. They go, okay, we're going to count to three, but you go one and then rip it. So that you're not thinking about it. You're not anticipating it. So at least you're enjoying your life up to the moment of completion.

I guess there is something less cruel about it rather than just someone who's just waiting to die. Yeah, I think that he was kind of being, I don't know, merciful in a way. I guess I would say that maybe the less cruel way to do it is to shoot them when they're not looking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they just die. But they do this whole, I don't know, merciful in a way. I guess I would say that maybe the less cruel way to do it is to shoot them when they're not looking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they just die, but they do this whole, I don't know, to me it's part of him being this psychological manipulator. Yeah, it's true revenge,

because revenge is not just like they're dead, it's like I want you to know why you're dead. Right, yeah. But my favorite thing about that scene where he forgives him at their mother's funeral is you do a close up on Fredo's hand when he's like, so he's sitting in a seat and then Michael comes over and stands in front of him. And Fredo just hugs like bear hugs him his waist and his hands like really grip Michael's body. And I was like, oh, that's a really sweet hug. Like he really needed him.

He needed his brother so bad. And I was like, ugh. I like started crying. Yeah. And then you knew he was going to kill him because Michael looked up at his fucking- Same guy, Al Mary. Hitchman.

Yes. Same guy who had that look. And they made this face and it was like, nope, this ain't over. That's how you know the senator's sex worker friend was killed. Exactly. It was the same guy. Yeah, with just the most nondescript features.

Like, that guy just looks like a guy. I think the sex worker is okay. No, you think the sex worker is okay? She's breathing. That's actually an interesting theory. I like this theory. It's that she was in on it and really alive. She's doing it for the lulz.

Maybe she wanted to leave sex work behind and be an actor. Yeah, she's doing it for the gram. Maybe this was her finest performance ever. Oh, so that wasn't a goof. Yeah, but that was pretty heartbreaking. I was thinking about this. Are those his only two siblings left alive at this point? Yeah.

Michael's siblings? Yeah. And they're kind of losers the two of them the sister and fredo but i was tom hagan is also technically sort of a sibling he's a oh yes adopted sibling of course but i was thinking about this like you think about vito he was an orphan he had no siblings and so he has all these kids so they can have siblings and stuff and then they just fucking make each other's lives miserable and kill each other suck they all suck against each other and it's just such a cruel like fate to have to be blessed with siblings and then

turn on each other like that that's what happens when your parents are too successful you know have you seen succession It's the same thing. I just thought that was really sad. So this kind of starts a kind of barrage of killings like we saw in the first movie. Yeah, so Michael just orders the death of all of his enemies including Fredo. They convince

Frankie to like kill himself in prison. We see him like dead in the bathtub, self-inflicted and we see Fredo get in the bathtub self-inflicted and uh we see fredo get shot out in a fishing boat just that was so fucking sad so sad um because wasn't he with his nephew like so the nephew they take him out of the boat at the last minute they're like oh you're gonna go see your dad and then they al neary gets in same guy you have. You have to know if Al Neary's like, oh, no, let me go fishing with you. I love fishing.

Yeah. You got to be like, ah, fuck. I'm just going to fish with this gun. I'm using this gun to fish. If I were him and I saw the little boy get off the boat, I would have just started screaming immediately. I would have been like, look at me, kid. I'm going to die. I want you to know what your dad does. I would have just like, look at me, kid. I'm going to die. I want you to know what your dad does.

Like, I would have just gone all out. Like, if you fuck with me, I'm fucking with you, too, motherfucker. Yeah. Sorry. Just die the most cowardly death ever. Exactly. Also, tell the kid, you're never going to be a good fucking fisher. I hate you.

You're caught up in your family's cycle. This is going to be you pretty soon. Yeah, look into my eyes while I die, little bitch. Exactly. Connie going,

Anthony, you got to come in. Your father wants you. Ah! Ah! Ah! Yeah, I would have made a big production out of dying. You love the drama.

I do love the drama. She loves it. So yeah, so everybody's dead. We get a little flashback scene with James Caan and the whole family there at dinner. I had forgotten that he died in the first movie, and I had to watch the last five minutes here in the studio because I, like I said, had to spend five hours. Maybe he's in the third one. Yeah, I know. I was like, wow, we haven't seen

him for the whole movie. And then you were like, Emily, he's dead. And I went, oh. And I just went, what's happening? He goes, this is a flashback. And I'm like, why? I just don't, like why are we still doing this? I got to witness your ADHD in person I don't remember just yeah you were just like wait I thought he died wait where are they what is this and I'm like

oh no I think Jordan came in he goes it's Thanksgiving and I'm like but there's a cake you don't eat cake I was wrong about that I was wrong about it being Thanksgiving oh it's a birthday party whose birthday party it was just like complete confusion about this fucking birthday party and whatever. But it's a beautiful and sad and touching end. Yeah, the point is that he's fantasizing about simpler times, I guess. And then, yeah,

so it kind of ends with the family. They have a big fight and everybody but Michael goes out to greet Vito, who isn't in the scene, but it's his birthday. And Michael is left alone at the table. And then we cut to a scene of Michael just alone. And then he's by himself in the flashback and there.

But he's aged up when you come back to him. You don't know what year that is at this point. But he's sitting on a park bench. My favorite thing about that is that it's an immediate to be continued. Yeah. Like sign because it's like, oh, they aged him up. The Godfather will return. Yeah, exactly.

Because why would they- Godfather, rise of a resistance. Yeah. If there wasn't more story to tell, why would you age him up and then put him on that bench? But yeah. Also, we didn't talk at all about his wife leaving him like diane keaton and everything yeah a lot of stuff in this movie a lot of stuff happens in this movie this is a very pro-choice movie it is yeah it is um she has an abortion yeah she she unbeknownst to him uh uh gets gets rid of the kid because she doesn't want the kid to be trapped in this cycle yeah yeah so yeah that

was great i mean that's one of the greatest scenes terrific she had fucking balls in that scene i was like this chick has a death wish like no and also they're catholic i know you're gonna die like and go to hell yeah that's true okay i want to talk about the best lines in this movie but but first, we need to review Coppola wine. Oh, please. Emily, what did you think of your Coppola? Do you have the cab there? Oh, I have the cab.

What do you have? You have the cab. We tasted each other's wines. We did. We did a little switchy. I think yours is better. Yeah, the cab's great. It is, and it has a cuter bottle.

My favorite thing about this wine is also my favorite thing about the canned champagne. It is the containers. Great bottles. This bottle is like a I don't have a problem bottle and I like that. It makes you look like a class act. Yeah, it's a halfy bottle. Matt, what did you

think about the Warped Tour water? It was good. It was like water. It was almost exactly like water, but it was bubbles. Nice. You didn't find a tiny wallet chain at the bottom? No, but when I- Now with free wallet chain.

When I drank it, it felt like I was cutting my life into pieces. Oh, yeah. It felt like my last resort. Yeah, pretty much. Before we talk about what we thought of this movie, we want to talk about the best lines in this movie. Emily, what did you think was the best line in this movie? Okay, I had a hard time paying attention.

But the one time I was reading the subtitles, the Black Hand gets in a car with Vito. Is this the first time that he meets the Black Hand? Yeah, this is the first time they ever meet. He just gets in the fucking car with him. It's terrifying. Well, he's the boss. He can do whatever he wants.

He is, and he's like, you're getting in business with me, whatever. And I want your money from your buddies and from you or whatever. And then it's all in Italian, but I paused it at the subtitles because he goes, tell your friends, I don't

want a lot, just enough to wet my beak. And I'm like, bitch, leave the colloquialisms like that to the Southerners. I don't know what the fuck wet my beak means. I just got way more Southern when I said that. Wet my beak? I love that. I love that. What the fuck do you mean?

So I don't actually know what the metaphor refers to literally at all. It just means- Just the tip. Yeah, just the tip. Just, I don't know, wet the tip of the beak. I want to get the tip wet. What the fuck bird are you? I don't understand it either.

I need specifics. I've never actually understood where that- He's a crime bird. Yeah. A mafia crime stork. It was a famous criminal bird. What bird would be a criminal? A crow, probably. Or a raven. Yeah. A mafia crime stork. It was a famous criminal bird. What bird would be a criminal? A crow, probably.

Or a raven. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, those are some nasty birds. Or a vulture. Yeah, but they're kind of- Listen, I think- Can we all just agree, all birds are kind of shady? Yes.

I think all birds have criminal possibilities within them. Oh my God, you know what's also true is like, birds eat each within them. Oh, my God. You know what's also true is like birds eat each other. Thank you. I know. Much like the characters in this movie. Exactly. I'm smart.

I'm smart. I know. I want respect. I want respect. I'm smart. I want respect. I want respect. Wait.

You're okay. I was getting at that. Yeah. And then you took it from me. You're smart. I was getting at that. Yeah. And then you took it from me. You're smart. I am smart. Also, I love birds. Birds are great.

Anyway, here's, I think we can all agree that this is actually the best line in the movie. I think, you know, these movies are famous for their food scenes. Yes. And, you know, decadent food, food as it relates to family. Okay. It contains a lot of the themes of this movie. And this is just, you know, one of those great godfather dinner scenes.

Okay. And this is what Michael says going into it. Mama mia, that's a spicy meatball. Anyway. Jesus Christ. We're going to talk about what we thought of this movie right after this break. We're back. It's Free With Ads.

We're going to talk about what we thought of The Godfather Part 2. Emily, you want to go first? I'm going to get so much shit. No, I mean, you know, speak your truth. You couldn't pay me to watch this movie again. Wow. Okay. I am going to give you shit for that.

I think that, okay. Matt, start creating the burner accounts. Yeah. You know how- I'm hiring a botnet to troll you now. Do you know how men felt about the Barbie movie? Like bad men, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm a bad woman. Oh. You're a female incel. Exactly. For the Godfathers. I just fucking end it. End my suffering. Okay. I was watching it. you're a female incel exactly for the godfather I just fucking end it end my suffering I was watching it

how many times do I have to fucking rewind this I don't know I think that but you loved the first one I loved the first one I just thought a lot more simple we're not trying to do

mash two movies together too many movies this movie was two movies at the same time. That's what makes it brilliant. Make up your fucking mind. No, but it was, you understand the parallels between the, you just don't understand. Matt starts creating the burner accounts. We'll do it there.

Okay. I just don't care about parallels. I care about like, I don't know, being entertained or something. Wow. I just, also, I have a hard time focusing when there's no women in the fucking movie. That's true. I know that sounds like a,

No, no, no. But it's like, I think dudes feel the same way. There was women, okay, there was the, Dead prostitute. There was a woman getting an abortion off screen, which, where was that scene? I want to watch, you know? Oh, you want to see that mafia hit?

Listen, I love abortion. That was a mafia hit! There wasn't enough murder in this movie, you need another mafia hit. No, I just, when there's not, my favorite thing when I was talking to you about is Fredo's bimbo wife and her dress and the glamour, like, and the

bedroom and stuff. I just, I don't know. It's in Vegas, and there's no glamour in this movie. You make an actual, and I'll admit, I've never thought about this before, but you are right. The prominent women roles in this movie are the dead prostitute and the woman who fucks the guy.

And battered wife. Battered wife and the woman who fucks the guy with a big dick yeah and the woman who decides to get an abortion and leave your main character it is brutal but I just need a little glamour to like I need some

the thing that pisses me off is because I'm like sweet we're talking about gambling we're talking about, we're talking about gambling, we're talking about hotels, we're talking about Vegas. Where are they? Sure. I'm sitting here in a fucking court hearing. Right. Looking at all these gray haired dudes in boring suits and I just, I need something to look at. I need sparkly things to look at.

I think that that also describes the ADHD thing. If there's a little more glamour, I could pay attention. I just struggle. I struggle. It's just a bunch of gray-brown suits. But the cakes were fun. The cakes were good. The cakes were fun.

So I'm going to give this. On a scale of 1 to 10, super loud commercials. 1. Wow. The Godfather Part two gets a one. This is spicy. I'm so fucking sorry. You don't have to be sorry.

This is going to create discourse. God, please don't do discourse on me. Sorry. I don't want to be discoursed. I just don't. I was fucking bored. I wanted it to be over. You're allowed to not like the movie. I know. And I also think people are going fucking bored I wanted it to be over you're allowed to not like I know and I also think people are gonna

think I'm stupid and you know what fair oh god okay okay well I'm gonna go okay so the first time I saw the godfather part one I felt similarly to you. I was like, oh, I don't quite get this movie.

It's a little dull. Yeah, okay, these are iconic lines, whatever. And then I rewatched The Godfather Part 1 for this, and I loved it like you did. Yes. And then I had never seen any of the sequels, so I was thrilled to watch it. And to me, this is another 10 I just I loved it I loved the family stuff I loved

how sprawling it was I liked that it kind of was multiple generations again I brought this up before but I think these mafia stories are great at being like they're great at showing the cycles we're all in we're all kind of trapped in our own shit with our family or our jobs or what we think

we should be doing. And they're about like how it's just fucking impossible to like break out of your shit. And I think this movie does that so well. I think you have an amazing point that like this movie was made in a time before anyone cared about the Bechdel test. And yes, we have underdeveloped women in it. And I should hope that they don't make movies like this anymore. But I think if you look at it in a way of like, well, this was a different time and they wouldn't do it like this now.

For the time, I think it was really brilliant. And I think it's really cool that movies like this are free with ads. So I'm going to give it a 10. Okay. I would like to specify, though, that this is not a, like, I'm not thinking of it from a morality thing about, like, you know, there should be women talking to each other, which there should all the time. But, and not talking about men. It's just, I got nothing to relate to. It's a good relate to like i just don't i just want to look at women am i gay i think i am no i i want to look at women you heard it here first godfather part two turn me gay fair enough which to me makes it a good movie Well I guess you're right

Holy shit now it's 10 out of 10 baby Woo Well that was The Godfather part 2 Hey let's talk about some plugs Emily you got anything going on this week Well as always Flemgems is Occasionally got stuff in the store

Occasionally got stuff Yeah Flemgems blah blah snap it to a Flemgem I gotta make a Macho Man Randy Savage commercial for phlegm gems. You gotta. You must. Oh my god, will you guys help me with that? Can I do it? Sure, can we create you a styrofoam wall to burst through? Yes, please.

Well, I don't need it to be styrofoam to bust through a wall. Bricks and mortar. You'll get through there. Her ADHD medication's really strong. She can really just go right through it. Actual steel door. Not strong enough to watch The Godfather Part 2, but I can certainly bust through a wall. But yeah, I think just look at Flim Gems on Etsy and check out my stuff. Excellent.

I will say, today while I was having my AM coffee, you know how I like a little Joe in the morning. Sure. my AM coffee, you know how I like a little Joe in the morning. Sure. I put on the Mythical Kitchen Fire Festival episode

and it was great. Jordan! I've been looking forward to this one since you've been plugging it. It is over there on the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel.

They make all the food that was supposed to be served at the Fire Festival. Yeah. Josh does a great job cooking and Emily plays a crazy influencer who goes more crazy

as the video goes on. So funny, so cool. That Fyre Festival food looks awesome. So if you haven't watched it already, the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel, Fyre Festival episode. I love it.

Thanks, Jordan. Yeah. Oh, no, it's great. It's awesome. Well done as always. And yeah, I wanted to take a minute to maybe do an amendment to our contest that we're running.

Okay. So if you want to pick a future movie for us, we had a contest. Here's what we told folks to do. Okay. To pre-order Youth Group, the new graphic novel from me and Bowen McGurdy coming July 16th. Pre-order now wherever you get your books. It's a YA horror comedy. We know you'll love it.

And we had people send us their receipts and then we were going to pick one person who pre-ordered the book to pick a movie for us. Okay. That email address,

by the way, freewithads at maximumfun.org. Yeah. It's still valid, but I wanted to do an amendment to the contest because I felt like maybe the contest

wasn't quite free with ads enough. Okay. It was just kind of a generic contest that didn't have a lot to do with our show so I think in the spirit of our show we are now also accepting people who request the book at their local library. That is fucking free.

That still counts as a sale for us and then your whole community gets to enjoy the book so same deal request the book at your local library email us you can do it online and email us a screenshot free with ads at maximumfund.org or if you just talk to a librarian and tell them to order it email us i'm like, I'm going to take your word for it. It would be a shitty thing to lie about. Yes, it really would. So yeah, if you buy the book, we want to know about it. If you pre-order the book, we want to know about it.

And if you request it at your local library, we want to know about that too. And we'll enter you into the drawing to pick our movie, just like the folks who paid for it. So free with ads at MaximumFun.org. Email us about the ways that you're pre-ordering Youth Group. That's it. I love that. And you still get the rosary necklace that I'm going to make. There you go.

Yes, the winner will get a Phlegm Gems original religious piece. Rosary. Yes, but I also want to say you can request an upside-down cross or a regular cross. There you go. Because I found both. Okay. So, just tell us what you want. Because I found both pendants. So just tell us what you want.

Head down to the local library, everybody. It's a fun place to hang out. Yeah. All right. That was Free With Ads. Next week, our movie will be AVP, Alien vs. Predator. Are we about to do the climax? Okay, so let's cut to commercial here.

Okay, we're going to do the... Okay, we're about to get to the thrilling... Okay, we're about to get to the thrilling climax of Godfather... Okay, we're about to get to the... Okay, we're about to get to the thrilling climax of Godfather... Okay, we're about to get to the thrilling climax of Godfather. Okay, we're about to get to the thrilling climax of Godfather Part 2. But first, we're going to take a little break. Save all those errors and put them at the end of the show. Oh, yeah.

That's a great idea.
