Final Review makes an offer you can’t refuse. For the last three weeks, we have covered three of our very favorite Best Picture winners. This is part three of the series. This week we leave the gun and take the cannoli’s for a discussion of one of the greatest movies ever made, The Godfather. Oz and Claudio explore the greatness of director Francis Ford Coppola and struggle with contextualizing just how good Pacino’s and Brando’s performances are.
