Jackie and Greg are joined by cinephile extraordinaire Daisuke Beppu in their discussion of Francis Ford Coppola's epic depiction of life in the mafia, THE GODFATHER from 1972. Topics include the films origins as a "trashy" novel, the casting of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, Coppola's expansive and nuanced storytelling, oranges as a harbinger of death, and the subtlety of Michael's transformation from family outsider into the new Don.

Topics of discussion include whether the film is an anti-western, Leone as a mythmaker, a theory on Charles Bronson's character having been dead the whole time, a breakdown of Ennio Morricone's legendary score, and why more films need to swing for the fences.

Shots fired: Jackie and Greg are at their most aggressive when it comes to their wildly differing opinions of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave staple, CONTEMPT, from 1963. Topics of discussion include Godard's self-referential style, the allusion of gods and men, how the film is an apology to Anna Karina, and the cyclical nature of arguments. Will the show survive this episode?

Jackie and Greg get into the moodiest film about an affair ever made, Michelangelo Antonioni's L'AVVENTURA from 1960. Topics of discussion include the film's use of negative space, how Monica Vitti is more than just a pretty face, why movies about sad rich people are always compelling, and how Antonioni is responsible for creating a new film grammar.

Jackie and Greg put on their tap shoes as they get into a film very near and dear to their hearts, Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's SINGIN' IN THE RAIN from 1952. Topics of discussion include the recycling of songs from older productions, why people sleep on Jean Hagen's performance, how Kelly took inspiration from Powell and Pressburger, and why it's basically the greatest movie musical ever made.
