She acquiesces that Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, Talia Shire, and John Cazale were great performances but the storyline should sleep with the fish. Joining Kevin Gootee to hear this Don Quixote-esque quest to poke holes in the Godfather is super friend to the show, Dave Quist, of the Blockbuster Mentality podcast.
