| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Michael and welcome to Beyond the Screenplay, the podcast where each week we do a conversational deep dive analysis into a film. |
| 0:14.1 | Today we are finishing up our series on the Godfather trilogy by talking about the Godfather Part 3, the 1990 film directed by Francis Ford |
| 0:22.0 | Coppola, written by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzzo. |
