The Podcast Offer You Can’t Refuse

Guys Of A Certain Age

It’s the podcast episode you can’t refuse, and one that The Guys didn’t have to negotiate with a crime family to produce. Speaking of crime family vibes, Robbie was in Vegas this week looking for one secret formula. Or something of the sort: he said it had to stay in Vegas. That left Art and Jay to reach into the Wayback Machine and talk about another streaming series Jay finally finished.

This week it’s The Offer, the Paramount + story of the making of The Godfather . The movie, that is - not the actual Godfather. It’s a fascinating story of how the movie was made, how it was almost ruined, and how it might not have ever been made at all. (Just a typical week in the Guys of a Certain Age production cycle.) Jay also finished Tom Hanks’ novel about the making of a motion picture masterpiece (which is pretty much the title), which was an interesting companion reader to the series.

Robbie did drop in for Geeks of the Week, where news was shared about the Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and another action hero: Jack Reacher. If you have to choose between listening to this episode or the cannoli, why not both?
