65 - When We Think the First Two Godfather Movies Are Pretty Damn Good

This week we continue our Hogan hiatus to discuss two more films not starring Hulk Hogan: Godfather 1 and Godfather 2.  Now, faithful listeners may remember that in our last episode, we promised that this week’s topic would be Godfather 3.  And so those same faithful listeners might just say that makes us a couple of rotten, lying sons of bitches.  And in all candor and to be perfectly frank, we quite honestly can’t dispute that.  By the strict letter of the law, we are a couple of lying, rotten sons of bitches for going back on our word, but we’ve done it for a very good reason, and we hope you’ll indulge us.

First of all, the more we tried to talk about Godfather 3, the more we realized that we really needed to cover Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 to put the third movie in the right context.  But even more important is this:  for over 35 years on this Earth, we’ve been hearing people disparage those first two films.  We can’t even tell you how many times people come up to us – people we don’t even know – and said “Hey, I don’t even know you two guys, but I just wanted to tell you I don’t think the films Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 are very good.”  It’s happened to us more times than we can count and a damn sight more times than we can stomach.  And we just couldn’t let that stand, because in our humble opinion, Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 are a damn fine pair of films.  We just think they’re just damn fine films, and we don’t care who knows it.

So if you can bear with us for one more episode, you’ll hear our long-awaited coverage of Godfather 3 on our next episode.  But on this episode, we’ll be stating our case that Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 are two top-tier American films.  Don’t miss it.
