The GLoPfathers

This week, we've pulled together the most knowledgeable quorum on the culture landscape to give you the finest in pop culture hot takes. Our good friends Ross Douthat and Kyle Smith from NR's Projections podcast (yes, you must subscribe) join John and Jonah (Rob Long is off making TV great again) to do a deep dive on Black Panther, the best Best Picture of all time, and so predictions for this year's winner. Also, why The Godfather is the best American movie. Don't agree? Make us an offer we can't refuse in the comments.

I watched the Godfather movies over the course of the last couple of weeks. I'd seen them before, of course. But watching them against the backdrop of the movies they make now left me wondering: "Why don't we make movies like this any more?"

The Best Movie award goes to the movie that delivers the largest middle finger to flyover normals.

Don't let Rob forget that he predicted The Post would win Best Picture, something that no one is thinking will happen.

Casablanca > Godfather.
That is all.

The Godfather is the best movie of all time - no ifs, ands, or buts about it. That's it, end of discussion! [@jeffp - Casablanca is very, very good, but it doesn't displace The Godfather.]
