After The Godfather (1972) became arguably the most successful movie of all time, a sequel was unavoidable, and sequels are always inferior to the films they follow. Or are they?
Our hosts and our panelists alike grapple with the legacy of this giant 1974 classic and the inevitable comparisons to the original. Has history singled out a winner? And do viewers approaching these films for the first time see it the same as those who lived during the first release of these masterpieces? Tune in to find out.
Hosts: Mark Netter & David Tausik
Panelists: Guy Lewis, Grace Chapman, Jake Flowers
