Gene Healy \& Diego Zuluaga join the podcast to discuss the most famous mobster movie ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film, The Godfather.

## Summary:

One of Hollywood's greatest critical and commercial successes, The Godfather, released in 1972, is the quintessential American crime film. Early on in this film we are introduced to the patriarch of the Corleone family and as he ages it's clear that he wants to transfer control of his clandestine empire to his very reluctant son.
