Mob Movie Monday: Hoffa | Michael Franzese 

My dad was a Teamster, I was 15 . When he turned up missing my dad said, they got him. His look made my blood run cold. He said he'll never be found.

I could sit down and listen to this guy talk about anything for hours

I was an extra in Hoffa as a Teamster, the riot scene was lots of fun!! Great memories!!👍It still blows my mind they made that factory buildings look so good in the movie!

"Danny De Vito is a great actor"..Thats todays biggest understatement! Great review as always. Thanks.

Danny DeVito is just a legend. The guy is a genius and has always been criminally underrated.

His body may never be found but he’ll never be forgotten and no one can take that from him no matter how powerful they are💯

Danny devito is such an underrated director! Matilda, Hoffa, Death to Smoochy are all great movies!!

Hoffa was by far a BETTER movie than The Irishman

You're absolutely right Michael, Hoffa was and continues to be fascinating. I had a teacher who worked for RFK, they went to Teamsters HQ unannounced and Hoffa made the AG wait in the outer office for over an hour. When they finally got in, Hoffa was in his rolled up shirtsleeves on the floor doing push-ups during the 15 minute interview! Those guys hated each other's guts.

Now this was a great classic. Excellent cast. Michael reviews some deep cuts, he's the best. A true friend of ours👍🙏

I still feel this movie is criminally underrated! I am somewhat bias being from Michigan and growing up only knowing Union Labor, but Hoffa is still a beloved legend. The mystery of his disappearance is still dinner and holiday discussion to this day and is always great conversation, I love this movie!

As a truck driver I wish we had that kind of unity today. Maybe we could actually get some change in the industry that actually benefits the drivers.

I've been obsessed with the Hoffa case because my dad was a teamster trucker in the 70's and there was a lot of things no one knew about him during those times.

Give the Hoffa tape to Geraldo. He’ll fall for anything!

Hoffa was a great movie. Michael, I cannot wait for your sitdown with Salvatore Gravano. I posted a photo of us on your website. God bless you paesano. 🍷

I was hoping you would make this. Very interesting topic and a great film.

Please never change the intro music Michael! Always gets me hyped

Hey Michael!! I hope you have a great week! God Bless from The Bronx 👊🙏🇺🇸

I look forward to every single one of these uploads. I remember growing up my grandpa was in the teamsters union and the Hoffa murder was one of the hot topics of my childhood.

Classic you can’t go wrong with jack and Danny liked this movie better than the one with bob and al and they 2 of my favorite actors

Classics are unreplaceable

You're pretty much the only former mob guy I have any respect for. Love your videos.

Michael is an incredible public speaker.

Armand Assante can't do a bad movie? Apparently you didn't see "Judge Dredd" LOL!

‘Hoffa’ is very underrated. Classic.

He’s 70 and used the term “living under a rock” 😂😂 Michael is the man

I see Michael, I click! Who’s with me???

SLEEPERS !!! Check out the movie Sleepers. CLASSIC. Cast is beyond phenomenal.

Can't wait for the SIT DOWN!!!!

Michael this new sit down with Sammy looks crazy man!! From what i saw you held your cool and sounded calm and collected! Millions of people cant wait for the video to drop

You’re the most insightful and stand up guy I think I have ever seen and heard.

This flick is criminally underrated

Can’t wait to see your sit down with sammy the bull Michael it’s gonna break the internet for sure keep up the good work brother god bless 🙏🏻

Michael.. I have so much respect for you.. people will always talk a story to make themselves feel like their someone special or that their connected.. I think tradition, loyalty and respect are everything.. but there comes a point in life for a change.. and all the changes that you have made has made you a person that can finally breathe and to be your own man with only the expectations of what a husband and a great father should be.. and can be.. your life now doesn't define who you were.. please don't ever beat yourself up.. for things that you've done in your past.. yesterday is gone.. it's all about today and tomorrow.. please don't ever feel that you've betrayed anyone in your past.. you just changed priorities... I hear your sincerity in your voice.. you've had everything in the world money can buy.. and you realized what really matters in life.. so many people never are able to reach where your at now... I truly admire and respect who you are and only wish you the very best in life.. I just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to your videos.. thank you for sharing your life with us.. sending blessings of Love Joy happiness and good health.. God bless you.. your family.. and your friends.. sincerely, Jason Rhodes 🙏

Always loved this movie. DeVito did an awesome job Directing. So many great scenes. One of my favorites is with the late great actor Robert Prosky who plays Billy Flynn after they blow up the laundry. Epic! BTW, Kudos to you Michael for not being another "I know Where Hoffa is Buried" Johnny Come Lately, way too many of those! A Man's reputation and honor is more important than money.

I could listen to you for hours, my dad, who I lost past january ,hated youtube..loved your channel.

Michael I highly recommend you watch the long good Friday. I know your gonna love it.

Im from Malaysia, Michael. I have to tell you that there are many many people here that are interested. The story of the 'families' in the US and Italy have a large following here. The same goes about the story of Jimmy Hoffa. In glad to be part of this channel and peace to you brother ✌🏻 from 🇲🇾

This is the film that started the tradition of my grandfather and I go to the movies. We went once or twice a year the last movie we saw in the theater together was open range. My grandpa was a truck driver his whole adult life and always wanted to be a cowboy so I think it was all very fitting.

I remember watching this movie as a kid with my dad when I was home from school sick and it was incredible .

I just love hearing your stories !!! this is the best !!!! Have a wonderful week Michael!!! 🎉🎉❤️

I'm a big fan of anything J.T. Walsh is in. Very good actor.

i love your cozy background boss

The highlight of my Tuesday. 🙋🏽‍♂️🇦🇺

I've never seen this movie....going to now. I would never know that is Jack Nicholson playing Hoffa. They made him look so much like Hoffa. Be safe, be healthy and God bless!!

You bring back memories , my dad was involved in the dark life . I saw it before my eyes and have many stories to tell. My dad is dead and gone but will never forget what crazy life he put us through. When I tell my stories about my dads ventures and bringing us along for the ride, folks tell me that I should write a book about it 😳🤣✌

Thank you sooooo much Michael I've been waiting a very long time for this review!!!!!!

It is ALWAYS a Great pleasure and joy to hear of your honest stories about “The Life” . Many thanks Micheal Franzese

Thanks again for the great stories.

You Sir are a stand up guy !!!!!!! I can tell you do care about people , helping people , and have a strong Faith .

Really appreciate this fantastic content during covid period. Something to really look forward to.

I am from Bulgaria Michael !!! I am wishing you good health, and keep the secrets for you ! Thank you very much for all the stories that you are sharing all the time.

Always exciting to see a new upload 👍

Good content Michael.

Gonna be a great review, Michael! Also cannot wait for your sitdown with Mike Tyson!

Just found out from a flier in my mailbox today that Mr. Franzese will be next door to my apts. at crossroads church next month, I will have put in for that day off, this is a can’t miss meaningful event.

Thanks for another great review! Would love to see you do Public Enemies at some point. Keep up the good work

That was the best scene when Danny Devito walks the club owner to Armand Assante .. he was great

The young Teamsters guy killing Hoffa and Danny DeVito's character was played by the great character actor Frank Waley. He also played Oswald's double in Oliver Stone's JFK and was also immortalized in Quentin Tarrantino's Pulp Fiction where he "discusses hamburgers" with Samuel Jackson's character.

I like the little chuckle when you say "he pulled a scam.on the government" 😂

Mr. Franzese just seems like the nicest, coolest guy you could ever meet. I can't picture him mixed up with a bad crowd.

I love that everytime Michael has a chance to mention how great Armand is he takes it

Mr. Michael we are waiting patiently for your sit down with Mr. Gravano. Thank you for great content.

Thanks for sharing Michael.

Excellent as always. I love and respect Hoffa, wish we had more like him. Michael, in October, just don't let Joe Pistone book the yacht! 😉😁

I just want to thank you on this content. The mafia movie is my childhood, and that kinde of movie changed my view on life. Hello from Bosnia!

I really hope they can find his remains. That way they can give him a proper burial, so he can Rest In Peace.

I CANT WAIT for the sit-down with Sammy the bull. I watch almost every video you both make. I hope you and your family are well, God bless

Armand’s character in Hoffa, as soon as he’s in the scene, you immediately want to see more of his character.

Thanks for such long videos. Great work and wisdom.

Great work Michael, Keep it up!

Finally got more of the story from you

Michael probably knows where the approximate location of the body is in the Detroit river

Great Film. Thank you Michael for the outstanding content and message.

Brilliant review as always Michael! Hoffa is a terrific and very underrated film. And speaking of underrated films….. I know you’ve spoken about Scorsese’s “The Irishman” before - but never in an extensive in depth review as you usually do here. I would love to one day see a nice “ Mob Movie Monday “ review on it - especially since you know so many of the characters that were portrayed. “The Irishman” and “Once Upon a Time in America” are two epics that I bet you fans would love to see your take on!

I'm glad you mentioned "if I would have built this year's ago what would it matter?" It's only now after years of ups and downs and struggles and so many dreams never fulfilled, that I understand...."today is sufficient for itself" What a life I've had and I keep thanking God over and over this year. What we dream in heaven will come true. What we build in heaven will remain. What new songs of praise we sing to the Father and the Son will echo in eternity. Thank you MICHAEL.

Mr.Franzese, I admire you more and more after every video!! Also, you gotta tell us where to buy that canvas behind you hahahahah Also, Jon Bernthal has got to play your father Sonny!

You gave a great definition on leadership/boss💙

This is a smart move, Michael. Putting this information out about the Hoffa tapes while your popularity continues to rise will open up doors to a lot of serious producers. I suggest you think of it as more of an archeological expedition than a documentary though. Use modern tech to search the area. Make some money upfront and if you lead them to the body, put a contingency in your contract. It’s a chance to truly be a part of history.

Always a pleasure

That was interesting Mike. Cheers

Hoffa was a terrific movie!

Please review American Me next Michael, it's based on a true story. Keep up the good work!

Love that intro music!

You know what Michael? You're a funny guy.

I freaking love Jack Nicholson. Thank you for covering this Mr. Franzese

"Years ago employers used to take advantage of employees" - Thats going on today as well, maybe we need a modern day Jimmy Hoffa.

Hoffa with Nicholson is one of my all time favorite movies

Isn't Jimmy Hoffa swimming with the fishes with Luca Brasi?

18:12 "He wasn't really a boss but maybe he was a boss okay" Haha

As always, a magnificent review. Michael, could you review Sidney Lumet's 1981 film "Prince Of The City." It's primarily concerned with police corruption; the way crooked police run shoulders wih street hoodlums and organised crime. A riveting, gritty 80's film I think you'll enjoy.

Legendary Film!!

Additionally, if he was in fact killed in Detroit, would they actually drive his body cross country and bury him in New Jersey? That seems too risky for something to go wrong, and get caught.

Jack Nicolson was Beyond Amazing in this movie

I have to stop this video for one minute. You brought up “Gotti” the movie and Armand Assante. In my opinion, if they make “Gotti 2” it would be what “Godfather 3” was to that franchise. I know Armand Assante said he would never make a movie that would ruin the integrity of the first, and I believe him wholeheartedly, I just hope they kill that conversation. There’s no possible way to improve upon that masterpiece.

this guy is the best he really lived that life too that just makes it so much more intressing kepp up the good work michael much love

Hey Michael have you ever had any contact with the adopted son of Jimmy Hoffa before his passing Chuckie O'Brien I believe his name was?

This is wild! I love Michaels stories so much! I stop whatever I'm doing to watch them

I’ve heard you mentioning the tapes before . Regardless of the passage of time , I don’t think it’s right to keep potential information from the family
