Can we have Frank as a reoccurring member? He checks all the criteria for Hack The Movies: does his research, he's Italian, makes fun of Crystal, etc, etc.
Lots of symbolism in The Godfather. I like how Michael's change in appearance reflects the state of the Corleone family. Earlier in the film his face is slightly chubby looking, he's got a more traditional haircut, and has a more innocent look. As he takes over control for/from Vito his face thins out, his jawline becomes more promininent, his eyes deepen and he gets a more stylish haircut. He's the new face of the Corleone family, so to speak.
The horse head was real. Coppola said in the commentary on the DVD that they bought it from a dog food processing plant. The horse had already been slaughtered. Remember, the ASPCA didn’t start monitoring treatment of animals in movies until the 1980 western “Heaven’s Gate,” in which 4 or 5 horses died during the shooting of a battle sequence.
This was a great one. Perfect panel choice. Can’t wait for Schindler’s List with Justin.😉I love the sequel too. Can’t decide which is better. I think the original may be better. But I love young Vito’s story so much. Look forward to the video on part 2.
Shoutout to Frank and Trisha, your insight was really fun to watch in this episode! Tony, keep up the great content man you really make the week better 🎥
Love how everyone is Italian in this episode and dressed up for this show. Tony even dressed up in his Balboa sweater. Can’t wait to watch this at work shhhhh don’t tell management.
One of the best episode of Hack the Movies and probably the best panel too. We need more Frank and Trisha in future episodes. Hopefully they return for part 2.
It's time to pay a visit to HACK THE GODFATHER. You'll find Famous Mobster Tony, Trisha, and Frank as they talk about the classic "The Godfather." Refuse and you'll be sleeping with the fishes.
When Michael sees in the paper that his father was shot, it’s not the next day. Back then they had morning and evening newspapers. Looks like he was out with Kay all day, so he wouldn’t have talked to the family.
Warren Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen, Robert DeNiro, Robert Redford, James Caan and Jack Nicholson were almost cast as Michael Corleone.
This movie and Jaws are also probably considered to be the only adaptations that are considered superior to the original source material that they're based on and I can say I agree since I've read both books as well.
Another movie that makes me think of my mother (she is big into mafia movies as well as Universal Monsters). The horse reveal, the toll booth scene, the christening montage, and the moment where the godfather has that orange in his mouth were great moments.
I saw the trilogy at such a young age, and left such an impression on me that whenever I see Marlon Brando's scene I forget instantly about all the spoofs, loved it through and through, and like LOTR, I revisit them from time to time. Same with Aliens, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist or The Shining, my mind tends to separate spoofs from the original automatically whenever I see movies I saw as a kid that left emotional scars on me xD. Sort of fun fact: Lots of German nazis came to Argentina as well as pro Mussolini Italians after WWII and were given Argentinian passports and citizenships, mostly to stay in the Patagonian region, Córdoba (a central province), Buenos Aires and the northern regions limiting with Brazil (easier to escape), Mengele died in brasil after escaping from Argentina and Adolf Eichmann was caugh here.
“I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raise my daughter in American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family” “I Believe in Jim Gordon. I believe in Harvey Dent. I believe in Gotham City” Jeph Loeb’s favorite movie that has had an influence on Long Halloween and Dark Victory.
Great review guys. Can't wait for the Godfather Part 2 and Scarface reviews. Modern audiences would watch this and probably be like "So boring! Where's the CGI, explosions and chase scenes?"
I'm surprised that nobody caught on to the fact that the guy who voices Fat Tony on The Simpsons was in The Godfather part 3. Joe Mantegna is the actor's name.
You guys look like the 3 wops from superman 2, ya know the ones that fly around in sparkly black outfits. This is so cute guys, it's like watching Harry Potter. I think Toni is finally starting to break out of his awkward phase, he showed the first signs in this video. 'Toni Potter and The Goblet of Choir(boys)', like your guests.
I've realized sometime ago that Kay was the rebound, she's the safety net for Michael she's someone he's familiar with rather than him finding another woman to date & marry after Apollonia was killed. Michael was lusting after Apollonia but he couldn't have her unless he married her Kay had a chance to flee but didn't. And man, I love Frank he's the best on this podcast since he's Italian he's really got a great insite on this film.
So, here's my thing. They did the Godfather thing with pigeons on Animaniacs for YEARS. They called their version the God-Pigeon. Why, in a show filled with AMAZING puns, did they miss the opportunity to call him "The God-Feather?" IT'S RIGHT THERE, DAMN IT, AND THEY MISSED IT LIKE A LATE BUS!!!
yeah, were going to need Frank back immediately, feels like hes been talking about movies forever, and just like tony said, frank has great insight on movies and always gives his opinion, respectfully !
This is one of the better panels. Both guests are insightful. I find is very difficult to watch the episodes with Crystal, which I tend to skip, as she is notorious in talking over people.
25:24 See I feel like Johanna got her revenge when this wouldn't upload 5 times yesterday. I just looked it up and $600K would be like $9.5 million today(!!!). I was getting confused the other day, the Godfather game is actually good, The Sopranos game is crap. and Yes Tony you are right. Joe Mantegna is reading the Godfather audio book.
First off, bravo review! Second, while listening to the podcast version of this had the best timing add. It’s when waltz is slandering Italians, then it immediately cut to an add starting with: *yawn* “Monday’s! “ and I legit thought it was still on the episode, and just one of the host being like “yeah, Italians have heard it all. Just another day. Move on” lmao
Great episode! It’s always Fine and Fun to see “3 Italians, 1 movie” to talk about lol I really hope to see y’all review/talk about part 2 and 3 as well And possibly, the comedy “Mafia”. And we can’t forget, more wine and Cannolis. Keep up the great work everyone 🙌🏼
49:44 pretty sure the person with the orange in the wedding scene is sal tessio, who is later killed on michael’s order for portraying the family to barzini. the oranges are used as omens of impending death/trafedy. there are also FAR MORE than 3 oranges in the first movie: tessio at the wedding; tartaglia/barzini at the 5 families meeting; tom’s dinner with jack woltz; vito buying oranges before the attempted assassination; vito’s death in the garden; and possibly more.
I wasn't quite in middle school when the 25th anniversary of The Godfather released otherwise it would have only been on DVD instead of both VHS and DVD
Woltz International Pictures Fact: "Adjusted for inflation, $600,000 in 1945 is equal to $9,397,820 in 2022." Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!! 🐴 Sollazzo Edit: "$1,000,000 in cash in 1945 is equivalent to about $15,762,000 today." That's a lot of veal at the Louis...🐮 Pre-War Scotch Edit: "$50,000 in 1945 is equivalent to about $788,100 today." Not bad! 😴 🐟
Lmao Frank would be cast as the pillow salesman also I missed the beginning but that charming lady Trisha makes Tony look like Prego Sauce/Gravy I kid of course 😅 this was fantastic a very happy 50th to The Godfather never read the book but there’s so much weird stuff in it now I kinda want to because that so true we never see how ruthless Luca is kinda makes it sadder he fell into that trap like he did I would’ve thought he would’ve been more calculating Unlike Sonny where he was easy to get to because he was emotional and angry *but for good reason it’s so awful when you see him beat the sister and Sonny dies trying to protect her* which they try to show in Vincent for part 3 and Michaels sister stuck by him even when knowing he killed her husband
Half way thru and I’m really digging the Italian perspective on this classic movie. Would this panel ever do Cinema Paradiso? I’d really enjoy watching you talk about that movie.
This was a amazing episode!! I look forward to the ALL ITALIAN age of Hack the movies!! Jessica did a great job with the hits, but I expect she will properly "TAKE CARE OF JOHANNA" soon....JK😆😆👍👍
Don't feel bad about liking the parodies. Brando himself did a brilliant self-sendup in "The Freshman". And as for the 'donut story'.... think about it.... it's not THAT much of a leap from Jor-El to Bag-El. 😉
cant believe the godfather is all ready 50 years old god were has the time gone love the first movie it is a classic and it paved the way we look at mafia movies in the future
The orange 🍊 is fluky. But it does mean something towards betrayal or demise. Tessio grabs one at the wedding, Vito gets shot falling over oranges. And I may be wrong but a basket of oranges might be at the table that Connie and Carlo are sitting at during the wedding.

Can we have Frank as a reoccurring member? He checks all the criteria for Hack The Movies: does his research, he's Italian, makes fun of Crystal, etc, etc.
making fun of crystal and never inviting her again would make the show perfect
Bring back the true goat.
Frank is great in this episode. Agree. Replace Crystal with Frank.
Why can’t we have Frank, and Crystal? 🤷🏾
Frank is great more Frank would b great 😎👍
It's nice that Tony invited Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise over to talk about The Godfather movie.
Lots of symbolism in The Godfather.
I like how Michael's change in appearance reflects the state of the Corleone family.
Earlier in the film his face is slightly chubby looking, he's got a more traditional haircut, and has a more innocent look.
As he takes over control for/from Vito his face thins out, his jawline becomes more promininent, his eyes deepen and he gets a more stylish haircut.
He's the new face of the Corleone family, so to speak.
That's awesome! Frank especially in this episode goes into a lot of the symbolism.
The horse head was real. Coppola said in the commentary on the DVD that they bought it from a dog food processing plant. The horse had already been slaughtered. Remember, the ASPCA didn’t start monitoring treatment of animals in movies until the 1980 western “Heaven’s Gate,” in which 4 or 5 horses died during the shooting of a battle sequence.
Yikes
I love how Trisha kept going into Italianisms, and Frank, her own brother, was kinda like "Okay, relax." 😂
The hilarious thing is that Godfather audiobook actually IS narrated by Fat Tony's voice actor, Joe Mantegna.
Neat
That’s dope
This was a great one. Perfect panel choice. Can’t wait for Schindler’s List with Justin.😉I love the sequel too. Can’t decide which is better. I think the original may be better. But I love young Vito’s story so much. Look forward to the video on part 2.
Directed by Steven Speils-berg lol
Shoutout to Frank and Trisha, your insight was really fun to watch in this episode! Tony, keep up the great content man you really make the week better 🎥
Those were your best guests.
Fantastic review and guest reviewers all around. Thanks for the shout-out, too! -Rennon the Shaved
I don’t know why, but I absolutely love Hack the Movies!
Love how everyone is Italian in this episode and dressed up for this show. Tony even dressed up in his Balboa sweater. Can’t wait to watch this at work shhhhh don’t tell management.
I’m surprised there weren’t any fascist jokes. Lol.
Misha You're Fired!
One of the best episode of Hack the Movies and probably the best panel too. We need more Frank and Trisha in future episodes. Hopefully they return for part 2.
I'm so happy you guys decided to review this movie! This trio is awesome and has to return!
You gotta have Trisha and Frank on more often.
They're the best!
Awesome review guys!
It's time to pay a visit to HACK THE GODFATHER. You'll find Famous Mobster Tony, Trisha, and Frank as they talk about the classic "The Godfather." Refuse and you'll be sleeping with the fishes.
Very good singing
Everyone on set: JESSICA, DID THEY USE A REAL HORSE HEAD, LOOK IT UP.
Jessica: I don't think I wanna play anymore......
Frank is great. Hopefully he will be in future reviews.
About a king and his three sons. A film about succession. Masterclass of cinema
Literally my favorite movie of all time and I’ve always hoped you guys would sit down with this group and do this exact movie. So fucking happy.
When Michael sees in the paper that his father was shot, it’s not the next day. Back then they had morning and evening newspapers. Looks like he was out with Kay all day, so he wouldn’t have talked to the family.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
This was great. I love Trish and Frank. The Italian culture and insight really added a lot. Tony, you're great as always.
That was not enough wine for this episode
Tony!? Forgive your father for loving your sister more. 🤣😂🇮🇹🍝🍕
Warren Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen, Robert DeNiro, Robert Redford, James Caan and Jack Nicholson were almost cast as Michael Corleone.
Jack Nicholson? It would be too much of him than Michale Corleone.
This was awesome... more Frank
This movie and Jaws are also probably considered to be the only adaptations that are considered superior to the original source material that they're based on and I can say I agree since I've read both books as well.
It's spelled jawls good sir
@@estebanperez2557 Well there is a whole mafia subplot in the novel of jawls as well.
Another movie that makes me think of my mother (she is big into mafia movies as well as Universal Monsters). The horse reveal, the toll booth scene, the christening montage, and the moment where the godfather has that orange in his mouth were great moments.
So many memorable moments.
@@HackTheMovies yo Tony in The Godfather game you play as the guy who sneaks in the horse head
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 its been years since I played. What version of the game is that in?
@@HackTheMovies Tony, it's in all versions of the 2006 Godfather video game. Most popular on the PS2 at the time.
@@GusFogle I haven't played the game in like 7 or 8 years. I'm gonna have to replay it.
Beautiful Trisha, Handsome Frank and Rocky Tony! What a cast! 100% smart, funny and very attractive people in this fine review! 👌❤️🙌👑
I saw the trilogy at such a young age, and left such an impression on me that whenever I see Marlon Brando's scene I forget instantly about all the spoofs, loved it through and through, and like LOTR, I revisit them from time to time.

You guyz are awesome
Great review guys. Can't wait for the Godfather Part 2 and Scarface reviews. Modern audiences would watch this and probably be like "So boring! Where's the CGI, explosions and chase scenes?"
Frank and Trisha are incredibly well-adjusted people. Almost too socially functional compared to the rest of the Hack The Movies crew.
cant wait to see this its going to be fun good job guys keep it up
If you can find it, The Godfather chronological cut is the best way to see these wonderful movies!
I have seen every episode of Talking About Tapes and this is hands down my favorite episode ever. Great job as usual!
That sure is a nice alien 3 poster
Don usually is a term of endearment for senior people here in Puerto Rico
Robin Hood men in tights did the best godfather impression
I'm surprised that nobody caught on to the fact that the guy who voices Fat Tony on The Simpsons was in The Godfather part 3. Joe Mantegna is the actor's name.
The real MVP's are Trisha and Franks' parents for creating such gorgeous humans. Bravo, Parentals.
I like Frank, he's becoming a great addition to the cast.
This episode is the Bunga Bunga party of Hack the Movies
Godfather black hand edition on ps3 explains how the horse head gets to the bed.
How do you not know who Richard Conte is?? He is the epitome of noir, and in so many WWII & poliziotteschi movies.
You guys look like the 3 wops from superman 2, ya know the ones that fly around in sparkly black outfits. This is so cute guys, it's like watching Harry Potter. I think Toni is finally starting to break out of his awkward phase, he showed the first signs in this video. 'Toni Potter and The Goblet of Choir(boys)', like your guests.

Ah tony in his native garb,,Magnifico🙏
Lol this was great. More wine.
Here after the Coppola dracula and interview with a vampire video through Adam does movies. Excellent channel.
Did Tony also set up the peroni beer advertisement for the all I-talian episode? Good stuff people!
Someone should remake this movie and cast Frank as Michael and Tony as Vito
That’s what I said!
@@trishasitaly They'd just have to make Tony look older.
yeah, were going to need Frank back immediately, feels like hes been talking about movies forever, and just like tony said, frank has great insight on movies and always gives his opinion, respectfully !
Do a season 4 of Mummy Cop. Call it the search for Season 3
Please do Godfather Part II soon. Absolutely loved this episode.
This same panel should review House of Gucci.
I wish I cared enough about gangsters/mobs to watch this I hear its good 😄
This is one of the better panels. Both guests are insightful. I find is very difficult to watch the episodes with Crystal, which I tend to skip, as she is notorious in talking over people.
25:24 See I feel like Johanna got her revenge when this wouldn't upload 5 times yesterday. I just looked it up and $600K would be like $9.5 million today(!!!). I was getting confused the other day, the Godfather game is actually good, The Sopranos game is crap. and Yes Tony you are right. Joe Mantegna is reading the Godfather audio book.
Martin Ritt, Sergio Leone, Peter Yates, Richard Brooks, Arthur Penn, Costa Gavras, and Otto Preminger were almost picked to direct.
Sergio Leone chose to eventually make Once Upon a Time in America instead.
Octopus? Italian: “That’s a fish.”
Sea cucumber? “That’s a fish.”
Seals? “Yeah, that’s a fish.”
Walruses? “Fish.”
Sea urchin, jellyfish, sharks?
“Yeah. Them’s the fishes.”
Frank is great. bring him back for more reviews.
Epic video! Btw McClusky shot in the neck?? Clearly in the throat. 🔫
I remember always going to the video stores as a kid and thinking that the cat was dead. Too many slasher covers I guess.
More Frank and Trish please!
Frank needs to do some Nathan Fillion voice work
The Godfather is terrific but I do prefer Goodfellas for its comedy, energy and attention to details. Also, JOE PESCI.
I also liked Fugget About It lol
A lighter will push the cork out so you don’t have to push the cork through
Thanks I’ll pass this on to Tony
Depending on the lighter it might take a sec. but it will work. Heat expands the air and pushes the cork out.
First off, bravo review!
Second, while listening to the podcast version of this had the best timing add. It’s when waltz is slandering Italians, then it immediately cut to an add starting with: *yawn* “Monday’s! “ and I legit thought it was still on the episode, and just one of the host being like “yeah, Italians have heard it all.

Built guy in black that’s Italian named Frank…….Tony you have The Punisher on your show!
Great episode! It’s always Fine and Fun to see “3 Italians, 1 movie” to talk about lol
I really hope to see y’all review/talk about part 2 and 3 as well
And possibly, the comedy “Mafia”.
And we can’t forget, more wine and Cannolis.
Keep up the great work everyone 🙌🏼
Do Goodfellas or Casino
Finally!!!
49:44 pretty sure the person with the orange in the wedding scene is sal tessio, who is later killed on michael’s order for portraying the family to barzini. the oranges are used as omens of impending death/trafedy.
there are also FAR MORE than 3 oranges in the first movie: tessio at the wedding; tartaglia/barzini at the 5 families meeting; tom’s dinner with jack woltz; vito buying oranges before the attempted assassination; vito’s death in the garden; and possibly more.
Italian melted Cheese is great
I wasn't quite in middle school when the 25th anniversary of The Godfather released otherwise it would have only been on DVD instead of both VHS and DVD
Bring back Frank for Mean Streets.

Not bad! 😴 🐟
Don't worry Tony, if I was on your show, I won't hit the mic... Ah, who am I kidding, totally would do it by accident. XD
Lmao Frank would be cast as the pillow salesman also I missed the beginning but that charming lady Trisha makes Tony look like Prego Sauce/Gravy
I kid of course 😅 this was fantastic a very happy 50th to The Godfather never read the book but there’s so much weird stuff in it now I kinda want to because that so true we never see how ruthless Luca is kinda makes it sadder he fell into that trap like he did I would’ve thought he would’ve been more calculating
Unlike Sonny where he was easy to get to because he was emotional and angry *but for good reason it’s so awful when you see him beat the sister and Sonny dies trying to protect her* which they try to show in Vincent for part 3 and Michaels sister stuck by him even when knowing he killed her husband
Half way thru and I’m really digging the Italian perspective on this classic movie. Would this panel ever do Cinema Paradiso? I’d really enjoy watching you talk about that movie.
TWIN PEAKS NEXT?
This was a amazing episode!! I look forward to the ALL ITALIAN age of Hack the movies!! Jessica did a great job with the hits, but I expect she will properly "TAKE CARE OF JOHANNA" soon....JK😆😆👍👍
Wow
TONY YOUR INGAME CHARACTER CUTS THE HEAD OF THE HORSE OFF IN THE GAME
RUclips is not giving me HTM updates at all in my notifications. Am I the only one?
Don't feel bad about liking the parodies. Brando himself did a brilliant self-sendup in "The Freshman". And as for the 'donut story'.... think about it.... it's not THAT much of a leap from Jor-El to Bag-El. 😉
Love that Tony kept mentioning Fat Tony and the creation of Andy Garcia, but at no time makes the connection that Fat Tony is Andy's nemesis.
i cooka da pizza
cant believe the godfather is all ready 50 years old god were has the time gone love the first movie it is a classic and it paved the way we look at mafia movies in the future
The orange 🍊 is fluky. But it does mean something towards betrayal or demise. Tessio grabs one at the wedding, Vito gets shot falling over oranges. And I may be wrong but a basket of oranges might be at the table that Connie and Carlo are sitting at during the wedding.
Trisha singing I thought was deadly. I was thinking her name was Maria for some reason hahaha. Had to hit like after I laughed at myself haha
Please do a commentary track on the trilogy
Tony is correct. The octopus is not a fish.
Octopuses are cephalopods, like squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus.
