Profiles #11: FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA with special guest FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA!! 

This is an excellent interview! I enjoyed it while having lunch. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work!

If you love movies -- and I mean REALLY love movies -- it doesn't get better than THIS!!! The genuine reaction that Alicia and I have right after interviewing COPPOLA is PRICELESS!!!

Was attending a speaking public appearance of the man himself this past Monday. Such a wonderful person with more insight on film that i could ever imagine. He was so polite to questions and really gave everyone attending some amazing stories and fantastic tips on filming. Don't think i will ever get another chance to see him and i am glad got to see one of the most legendary filmmakers of all time.

Incredible! You talked to one of the greatest film-makers of the 20th century! Incredible work guys! Don't know if I could as stayed as cool as you did while talking to Mr Coppola!

Malone and Mantz, just a superb show! That interview was such a twist, totally unexpected for me, just phenomenal. I geeked out last week with the interviews but you just had the one this week, which was more than enough and absolutely blew my mind. Congratulations and thanks for this episode.

I'm so happy for you guys being able to talk to a living artistic genius like Francis Ford Coppola! You really did an awesome job with that interview too Scott and Alicia! Can't wait to see what comes next on Profiles.

YES! I'm so happy you mentioned John Cazale and I Knew It Was You. I remember seeing that on HBO years ago and having more appreciation for him as an actor, and the way he can flat out steal a scene. To me he is one of the most underrated and under-appreciated actors of all time. Great show BTW.

This is so great. My Coppola first blood was The Outsiders when I was 7 years old. I loved it. But the first Coppola film I saw that I knew he directed was The Godfather Part 1. Saw It when I was 13 and it absolutely changed my life and made me love movies even more than I already did. Wonderful interview, and keep up the amazing work, you two!

Watching you two geek out at the end made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Experience of a lifetime. Congrats!

I can't believe the humble Schmoes have become so massive.. one of the greatest directors ever to call into Schmoeville, insane

YES!!!!!! Right on time. Now I can listen to this on my way to school and at school :D Love Profiles :D Keep up the great work you two :)

Loved your show! You two are wonderful. You compliment one anther beautifully and your so genuine.

Oh dear god I can't believe you guys actually got Copolla to call in! That's incredible, you're in the big leagues now! And your reactions after interviewing him were absolutely priceless, so happy for you guys! Keep it up!

You two are adorable and so incredibly genuine in your love of film! It's a great personal joy to watch the joy & excitement come over Alicia and Scott as they speak to Francis Ford Coppola! Amazing get you guys! Each week you guys hit it out of the park!!! Totally love watching you guys week in and week out! Believe it or not if I was given the chance to talk one on one with you guys about movies, I too would 'geek out' in such an admiring way as you do with Coppola!!! You guys are my favorite!

this two combined are really great , AWESOME ep guys great job it worth a subscription

I've just come to know this channel. It's amazing, such good work, all 50 eps are great. It's great listening to people with an equal love of movies and cinema as myself

Bomb show kids!!! I'm feeling a perfect mix of happy/jealous for you guys!! Keep up the fantastic :)

My fav Godfather line: "You know who I am? I'm Mo Green! I made my bones while you were going out with cheerleaders!"

very cool for you two... so awesome to talk to THE legend of all legendary filmmakers... nothing to me compares to the magic of GD 2

What an amazing episode. Just when I thought you guys couldn't top yourselves, Coppola calls in and BOOM!, mic drop. Keep up the awesome work.

This was one of my favorite Profiles Episodes! The Godfather films are some of my favorite films of all time and it was great to hear your insight and love of them as well! Also, I just had a huge smile on my face when your special guest Mr. Coppola called in! Great work guys! Your Profiles episodes has rekindled my love of movies not only as entertainment but as a beautiful art form!!

Ok. Have I died and gone to movie fan Heaven? One of the best shows on YT. Thanks for bringing us so much quality content, Schmoes :)

awesome!!! so cool you guys had the man himself on the show. Great job, and cant wait to see what comes next.

I rented The Godfather at Blockbuster around 1989. Once I saw it, I immediately ordered part I and II through The Columbia VHS Club and watched them both over and over. Those two movies really got me interested in seeking out the films of great filmmakers. Coppola is one of the best. Great episode.

Fantastic interview!!! What a great man with so many interesting stories and ideas :)) you two are so lucky, keep up the great work this is one of the best shows on RU-vid. Lots of thanks from a fellow Aussie :))

Awesome interview with Mr. Coppola! Can't believe you got him on the show! And great episode as always!

Awesome show! As you guys were discussing the progression of Capt. Willard's journey into an surreal Vietnam, I was thinking about the parallels from my reading experience with Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Conrad does with sentence structure what Coppola does with surrealism. As the reader delves further and further into the African jungle the sentences get longer and longer. It forces the eye to go back to the beginning of a sentence creating a maze for the eye. I love to watch the corruption spread in the Godfather movies as well. Michael tells so many lies it is amazing he can keep them all straight. He lies to his wife, to congress, and he lies with a hug at his own mother's funeral to the only immediate family he has left. The most chilling scene for me is the last one of Part II. Hearing the sound of his brother's murder, there is Michael all powerful and all alone.

I love his Dracula movie! Often overlooked, I think. The way FFC filmed it-the practical effects-just such a cool experience for me.

My face hurt from grinning watching you guys talk to the legend himself! I'm still grinning!

Think about it guys. You talked to the man who directed possibly the GREATEST film of all time! That is amazing.

I remember watching and reading the outsiders in grade 6; our teacher told us she was going to fast forward through the end fight, but she fell asleep and we got to watch it

I'm watching with the dumbest nerdiest smile in my face right now, what a delight to hear a living legend talking about his work and legacy, seriously guys, I can't express how amazing this episode was, and I can't thank you enough for your remarkable work and dedication, it still is hard to process what I just saw. You guys are f** awesome!!! :')

Rumble fish so underrated film from him

I love your profiles podcast. I'm so glad you guys started doing this. my favorite so far has to be the kubrick profile. would you guys ever consider doing Alfonso Cuaron? my favorite science fiction film and is definitely in my top 10 favorite films of all time has to be children of men. I get this feeling had the film been a success at the box office he would've had more recognition at the oscars. but I'm happy gravity finally nailed him a win.

I saw the Godfather and Apocalypse now when i was barely a teenager, didn't like them, thought they where boring. When i was an adult i went and watched them again... Now they are easily in my top 20 :D I love.

Respect. Your guest list has already been impressive to me. Matthew Modine from Full Metal Jacket! But honestly how can't Coppola the Director of Apocalypse Now, the original Vietnam Epic that inspired it and Platoon? Not to mention the rest of Francis Ford Coppola's resume of The Godfather trilogy, Outsiders, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Conversation, Captain EO, Rumble Fish, Jack, The Rainmaker, Peggy Sue Got Married, Youth Without Youth, Twixt, and even the Cotton Club. Once because they are all great films and also so versatile and diverse from each other. He has also diversified his career with the Vineyard and Wine Making, Producing and just Patriarch of his extended family tree from Actors to Directors like himself. I love Sofia's work a whole lot and Roman has a very experimental style of filmmaking which is great too, those are the pioneers, even if he doesn't have blockbusters and Oscars for it. Nic Cage is beyond Superstar status by now, Jason Scwhartzman, and Talia Shire all great actors. Even ex In-Law Spike Jonze gained notoriety as did Wes Anderson. Ok, Wes Anderson only because he probably got his bump because of his brotherhood with Jason Schwartzman, so therefore by proxy so did Owen and Luke Wilson. While I'm at it might as well throw in Michel Gondry, Charlie Kaufman. I think they all deserve him at least a pound of credit each off where they are, what they made is all their own, just the recognition and boost and most importantly the opportunity to at least get in the door to pitch their projects to the right people right? He is the Godfather of Hollywood, maybe other guys were more action packed like Michael Corleone but Francis is Vito forever. He's dignified, jovial, warm, thoughtful, intelligent, masterful with the lens and storytelling, and represented classic Hollywood Film in the modern era again. I think the torch got passed on because of him to people like David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson, Steven Soderbergh, David O. Russell, Alejandro Inarritu, and Alfonso Cuaron. Because none of them make the same film or subject matter really. Also they are extremely visually talented auteurs of film. He also immediately paved the way for his peers and contemporaries as you mentioned like Spielberg, Lucas, Scorsese, De Palma, Nicholson, Pacino, DeNiro, Harrison Ford, James Caan, Robert Duval, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Martin Sheen and Charlie Sheen(probably also considered like family).

Love the Show! You guys should do an episode on Edward Norton. He's my favorite actor. Thought he was superb in Birdman and American History X is one of my favorite movies.

Every episode gets better and better! Film geeks unite!

great

Really liked this episode, and I envy you for getting to speak to the genius that is Francis Ford Coppola. My favourite movie of his is of course The Godfather, but Apocalypse Now is a close second.

Excellent! I got chills toward the end of your chat with FFC when it started becoming obvious on your faces what just happened. That said.. Scott, did you say the horses name was Cartoon? I may be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain the horses name is Karthoum (sp?), an Arabic inference, which is common with horse names.

I was about to go to sleep.... I guess not then!

They got him on the show, holy balls!

I'm definately going to have to check out Apocalypse Now now! It's been on my List of Shame for years and it's time it comes off that list.

Coppola used golden aged techniques for Bram Stokers Dracula. His visual effects team told him that the things he wanted to achieve were impossible so he fired them. He hired his 29 year old son at the time Roman Coppola (who played young Sonny in Godfather 2), to do the "old-school" cinematic trickery. One example of this is when Harker is shaving and Dracula approaches him from behind without a reflection in the mirror. The actor with his back to the camera is actually Keanu Reeves double and the 'mirror' is simply a hole in the wall, with the real Keanu Reeves standing on the other side

Malone and Mantz!!!!!!!

Can't. Wait. For. Hitchcock. He's the best! Please do Tom Hanks or Daniel Day-Lewis episode for your next actor spotlight!!! I'm dying to see a Profiles on them. Great job as always!

Carpenter should be the next director you do.

Hitchcock top 5: 1. Vertigo 2. Psycho 3. Notorious 4. Rear Window 5. North by Northwest

You should profile John Milius

The way you guys geeked out makes me wonder how you got through the call with Coppola lol

Buenisimo, me encató! Muy recomendado Hearts of Darkness: a filmmaker's apocalypse, gran documental. Posdata: aguanten los Beatles y ustedes :)

Do the Coen Brothers please!!!!!!

Alicia Malone over 30??? She doesn't look a day over 25. Great show as always guys!

Thanks for mentioning me -Ben Friedman

Do Al Pacino

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

Ford not For

Coppola is great but I think it predictable that he would actually call in because now a days he just rides off of his glory from the 70s. Btw I think apocalypse now is better than both godfathers

Gotta disagree with the three characters and their roles in Freuds psychology. Kurtz makes no sense as superego
