Writer Mark Wooden defends what some would call the indefensible: Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo's "The Godfather, Part III" and "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone."

Wooden looks at some unfortunate choices the filmmakers made but why those choices work for the movie. He also handles the elephant in the Corleone office, the casting of Sofia Coppola.

See new episodes of the "Thoughts From the Shed" podcast every first Wednesday of the month and then again in two weeks.
