  • The Godfather Book vs Movie (kind of)
    I compare the book with the movie in today's episode, but it is more of a book rant review. I had a lot of issues with this book, and I used this as an opportunity to air my grievances. I am pretty harsh towards Puzo and the book, so it you love the book and don't want your opinions confronted, you should probably skip this one.
