Episode 66: THE GODFATHER, PART II For this week's episode, we dive into Francis Ford Coppola's epic crime sequel, The Godfather, Part II. Al Pacino returns to the role of Michael Corleone. Also returning, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and Talia Shire. Joining the cast for this installment we have, among many others, Lee Strasberg, Michael V. Gazzo, and Robert De Niro, who plays a young Vito Corleone in a flashback timeline. Lots of characters, lots of plot and lost to discuss. The Godfather, Part II won Best Picture for 1974 and ranks here as number 4 on our countdown.* Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. Come back next week for another entry with lots of characters, lots of plot, and lots to discuss, David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

This week we have a look at the 1980 film Alligator. This is Episode #426! Alligator is a 1980 American independent horror film directed by Lewis Teague and written by John Sayles. It stars Robert Forster, Robin Riker and Michael V. Gazzo. It also includes an appearance by actress Sue Lyon in her last screen role. Set in Chicago, the film follows a police officer and a reptile expert who track an enormous, ravenous man-eating alligator flushed down the toilet years earlier, that is attacking residents after escaping from the city's sewers.

Up from the sewers come the teeth of terror! Matt & Todd discuss the 1980 creature feature Alligator, where a giant alligator terrorizes an entire city. This is another film that is far better than you might initially expect, due to excellent acting, a great script by John Sayles and terrific creature effects. Directed by Lewis Teague. Starring Robert Forster, Robin Riker and Michael V Gazzo.

Alligator (1980) synopsis: “A pet baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives in the city sewers.

Now, humans have entered the menu.”Starring: Robert Forster, Robin Riker, Michael V. Gazzo, and Henry SilvaDirector: Lewis TeagueThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review Alligator!

This Week on Fabulous Film and Friends, we're ringing the Round 2 bell of our Francis Ford Coppola vs. Martin Scorsese masters of cinema fight for the crown of greatest American Filmmaker as we compare Mob Epics 1972/74's Godfathers I &II starring Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, Richard Castalleno, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Abe Vigoda, Michael V. Gazzo and Lee Strasberg to name but a few,  to 1990's Goodfellas, starring Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Lorrain Bracco, and Paul Sorvino.   Joining me once again in my Steadicam shot through the Coconut Grove of Cinema loving Wiseguys and gals are my sister Roseanne Caputi, also known as "Kid Kitchen Gloves," cuz she's always doing the dishes while we're gulping down our sausage and peppers, then there's Kendrick “Two Things” Wright, because he never brings up just one thing when he wants to make a point, his partner in crime Dante “The Director” Oliviero cuz he's the only one among us who's always making movies, and finally Alex “Mr. Mimic” Robertson, cuz he's always mimicking people. So while it wasn't mandatory, I felt we should watch Godfather II in addition to the Godfather as the two really are just one long movie, but technically we have three movies to compare totaling 9 hours of screentime. The synopses: First, The Godfather's I & II chart the rise and fall of the the Corleone family led by patriarch Vito Corleone as he withstands an assassination attempt and then hands off his criminal empire to his son Michael, whom he hoped would avoid a life of corruption and one day become a great American politician.  Conversely Goodfellas catalogues the life and times of actual Wiseguy Henry Hill who joined the mob as teenager in a childhood dream come true and evolves from petty crook to high end theif and hijacker, accessory to murder and ultimately finger pointer in the federal witness protection program.  Okay, here are the rules again: We going to go around the panel and quickly state whose work we prefer in as many cinematic components as we can cover in what will probably be 3 hours.  The Categories are: Acting Screenplay CinematographyProduction DesignMusicEditingDirection

Join Maggie and Ian for a doozy of an episode. While the Vito story line was mildly entertaining (and sometimes genuinely good, too), Michael Corleones saga as the newest Corleone boss just didn't satisfy. Listen and find out why!

Nueva entrega de La Gran Evasión, la 216, continuamos el descenso de Michael Corleone hacia su absoluta soledad, afrontamos El Padrino, Parte II. En 1974, Francis Ford Coppola, arropado por el éxito de El Padrino, con total control por parte del estudio y un talento descomunal, se rodeó del mismo equipo técnico de la primera parte, para ofrecernos las claves de la familia Corleone. Expandiendo una historia hacia atrás y hacia adelante, como nunca antes se había hecho en el cine, con riesgo y pericia, con un elenco de actores en estado de gracia y un relato que corre paralelo a la America del siglo XX, al Capitalismo, al Sueño Americano por antonomasia. En los ojos de Michael Corleone y los gestos de Vito Andolini, se concentran la tragedia y el precio por una ambición desmedida, un alto precio a pagar por el poder. Coppola apostó por Robert de Niro para encarnar al joven Vito, un riesgo, dado el peso de Brando en la primera entrega y su impresionante caracterización del Don, pero Robert de Niro despliega una actuación simplemente extraordinaria, de la mano de Coppola da vida al joven Vito, vemos antes nuestros ojos, como se forja la voz, los gestos, el carácter de ese Padrino al que dio rostro Brando, absolutamente brillante. Al Pacino no se queda atrás, apoyado en una frialdad pavorosa, se convierte en Michael Corleone, vemos al monstruo tras cada golpe que lo hace mas poderosa, tras cada jugada maestra, su humanidad se va perdiendo, mientras la obsesión de su padre, La Familia, se hace pedazos, justo cuando más la protege, cuanto más intenta salvaguardarla, mas la destruye por dentro, con decisiones imperdonables….el pobre Fredo, da fe del gélido corazón de Michael, en el que no cabe la piedad. John Cazale en uno de sus papeles más inmensos. Diana Keaton, Kate, tampoco soporta al ser en el que se ha convertido aquel joven soldado que conoció, otra víctima de la ambición, con unos momentos junto a sus hijos inolvidables. Robert Duvall, como el hermanastro Tom Hagen, también tiene extractos brillantes, esas escenas al atardecer con el viejo Pentangeli en la cárcel, son fascinantes, otro acierto de la película, suplir la baja de Clemenza, con Frank Pentangeli, Michael V. Gazzo, el traidor traicionado, el gánster de los viejos tiempos, que no puede escapar a los tentáculos de Michael Corleone… En fin, una secuela portentosa, dos relatos a dos luces, gracias a la maravillosa fotografía de Willis, re-visitando espacios y situaciones comunes, que ya vimos en la primera película, alternando tiempos y tempos para conocer el origen y el destino de los Corleone, al abrigo de la magistral sintonía de Nino Rota, aún mas sutil, aún más melancólica si cabe. ..nos quedamos abatidos tras los cristales del ventanal de la mansión del lago Tahoe, junto a Michael, absolutamente solo. Acabamos de asistir a una Elegía, una reflexión Shakespeariana sobre el poder, un trozo de la historia del cine…. EL Padrino Parte II. En la penumbra del estudio de Radiopolis, con los Cannoli en la mesa, el vino calentado la sangre y los ojos cegados por las miradas de Michael y la fiereza de Vito, esta noche lluviosa, comentamos la obra maestra de Francis Ford Coppola, José Miguel Moreno, Raul Gallego, Gervi Navío, nuestro oyente invitado, Dani Corleone, y desde las sombras del Cine, con la toalla de la crítica envuelta en llamas, nos apunta con su pluma… César Bardés. Gervasio Navío Flores.
