The creators of the ‘Trimming The Music Fat’ podcast turn their attention to the world of movies. Listen as they review a movie series & decide which films need ‘trimmed’ from it.
64. The Godfather Trilogy – Leave the Gun, Take the Legacy (1972 - 1990)
After a long hiatus, host Stephen Nicholson returns to Trimming The Movie Fat with guest Paul Melon for a cinematic deep dive worthy of the Corleone name. In this comeback episode — the first since 2025 — the duo critiques all three Godfather films, dissecting their power, family, and legacy. Expect movie trailers, vintage interviews, and critical reviews woven through their discussion as they decide which entries deserve to stay in the trilogy… and which should be cut.
It’s an offer you can’t refuse — a collector’s return to one of cinema’s greatest sagas.
