The Godfather Minute

Leave the housework, take The Godfather Minute

As an Asian speaker of both English and Italian I feel a little sad when Andrew naturally assumes cultural and mental distance between Asians and Godfather other Hollywood cultural productions. It especially hurts when it is done by someone whose Italian pronunciation is all wrong. Alex is definitely the knowledgeable one including about Latin languages but often he has to play dumb so as not to hurt the feelings of the brother who firmly believes that he is the linguistically talented of the family. It didn’t really bother me in the beginning but Part II episodes became uncomfortable because of exchanges where Andrew dismisses perfectly informed comments with his questions. Overall a wonderful show but Andrew has to come to terms with the fact that his brother is rather linguistically talented and gets the nuance.

I got into this show a little late, but with a film this long, that still meant there was years of content to go With great impressions and even greater trivia, these are two co-hosts who clearly have a love for the film and have the comedic talent to keep me invested every week.

Man, do these brothers know about the Godfather! If you’re a super fan of the film and the book (the book is different than the movie, of course) you’ll adore this podcast. Keep going Alex and Andy.
