Last week brothers Josh and Jack broke down one of the greatest American films of all time. Arguably its closest competitor for that title is its sequel, which is crazy unto itself. The Godfather Part 2 is also considered one of the greatest movies ever made. In this episode, we break down the incredible acting performances, talk about the distinct look and feel, analyze the parallels between the two films and rank all sorts of categories ranging from our favorite scenes to the characters we would LEAST like to get a beer with. Have fun! We know we sure did.

The Next Great Directors

Here at The Longlist, we celebrate movies and other pop culture through the storied art of rankings. There are no wrong answers. There are no bad opinions. And hot takes are always encouraged. We love movies and we love talking about them even more. Throughout each episode we’ll dissect a given topic, be it a director, actor, genre, studio, or even just a single movie that we really want to deep dive. And the way we really break down each topic is through a series of rankings, usually in the form of a ”top five,” ranging from serious film criticism to whimsical anecdotes. And finally at the end of each episode, we have our main top five list, which we have deemed the short list. Come for the short list and stay for the long list. Nothing we say will ever be the end all be all. On the contrary, we hope it will encourage similar conversations with you and your friends. We have a lot of fun and we hope you will too.
