"Godfather sires weak son."

“Coppola’s ambitions THE GODFATHER PART TWO is a slow, aimless and annoyingly restless movie which purports to be about gangsterism but is, in fact, about the boredom of waiting.”

These two reviews from The Philadelphia Enquirer (Desmond Ryan) and Philadelphia Daily News (Joe Baltalke), respectively, are placed here for your mockery (seriously, what is going on in Philly??) Obviously, THE GODFATHER PART II is a piece of great American art. That being said, your hosts buck against the idea that it is better than its predecessor.

We talk Pacino’s career, Michael’s (lack of a) character arc, praising Diane Keaton, and editing issue. It is always a challenge to talk about the greats, but we had a great time talking THE GODFATHER PART II for New Year's Eve!
