Every aspect of the film explored!

Such interesting insights into the actors, auditions, director’s approach, studio’s struggles to control, the depth of its effect on American pop culture, how it’s still so gripping over 50 years later. Just excellent, informative and fun to hear.

Vito didn’t die alone.

What a thrill to have. Di Niro, Duvall, Caan, others and Coppolla himself to talk so candidly about the films. I feel the major allegorical theme of the films is contrasted in the deaths of Vito and Micheal. Vito didn’t die alone (as was said) he died playing with his grandson in the garden. Micheal died alone having lost his family as part of his own dark fate.

Excellent breakdown

This is an excellent look at the film from every angle. The production angst, the actors, the music,the public then & now.

The effects of the movie everywhere in pop culture

I like hearing the input of the experts and the actors and how things affected them along with normal people really enjoyed the views of it. The movie that’s over 50 years old still affecting us today.

Informative,entertaining and enlightening.

I enjoy learning about movies and how they were created. This was a really well made series that includes interviews with just about every actor in the movie, others who made the movie possible, and other interesting people. focuses on the original movie.

Really enjoyed everything, nothing to dislike.

if you're a fan, This is a great companion to the movie.

AWESOME For Godfather Fans!

If you're a fan of The Godfather, or any of the sequels, you will most likely enjoy this book.

It's actually a collection of podcasts about the film. The author is trying to answer the question of why the movie is so memorable? Why has it infiltrated nearly every aspect of American life? Why are there so many scenes in cartoons/shows/and other movies featuring quotes from the film? What is it about the movie that makes it so long lasting and beloved?

Featuring interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Pacino, DeNiro and Duval , the authors of The Godfather Doctrine, and the designer of The Godfather video game, and many others, this was a lot of fun. I guarantee you will learn something new about this classic film, even if you've seen it dozens of times like I have.

This did get a bit repetitive at times but that is mostly due to the episodes being all lumped together in this one book, but I enjoyed the hell out of it, just the same.

Excellent, but what about coda?

I appreciate it all all the different perspectives and reasons why people love and appreciate the value of the Godfather, and while the podcast focused, mainly on the original movie, it did make four days in to the Godfather part two and part three. But I was hoping for near the end, is that they would’ve been some more explanation as to why Coppola went back to edit Godfather three. I thought coda told the story much more cleanly and coherently then the original theatrical edit, but why wasn’t Coppola able to create this in the first place?

This is a story you can’t refuse — listen to it now

This was so great — the story holding our culture together. if you haven’t seen The Godfather you don’t really understand the world you’re living in.

Excellent behind the scenes

The interviews, the behind the scenes things you never knew had to be done just to get it made.

Entertaining!

I loved this so much, I love the godfather, the book, the audible, and of course the movie. But this… this is was just as great.
