The Mythology of The Godfather:  In this episode of The Godfather Podcast, we're looking at the historic and record-breaking opening of The Godfather, including what it meant to a struggling movie business, the unexpected and lasting impact on our culture, and why the film still resonates 50 years later.

This episode features some very rare, behind-the-scenes "home movie" footage from the making of The Godfather, as well as highlights from an interview with Godfather producers Al Ruddy and Peter Bart.  In addition, we've got footage and clips with celebrities and film directors who recall being part of the historic premiere and first few weeks of the motion picture's opening.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
