Best comment on that post:

"I heard Jesus himself came down and escorted him to heaven."

Angelo Bruno and Carlo Gambino waiting with open arms: "This time we're going to make you an angel"

You totally beat me to that comment. You forgot about Joe Batters though

The movie the offer about how godfather was made is coming out. That should be pretty good

Giovanni Ribisi as Joe Colombo lmao

You think I just make shit up? Oh, wait, some of you guys do....lol.

Just busting balls, i had a personal role in this project for a time so I know its not bs. That said, I don't know if it will ever get made or if it does, whether it will see the light of day on a mainstream platform or if people will actually pay to watch it. Only time will tell I guess.

Thanks, Scott. I had googled "Benny Boom Last Don Natale" or something like that, and neither of those came up. Probably because Benny Boom wasn't mentioned in either of those. Still nothing on IMDb, I think.

I wouldnt be surprised if this was a lie too

[Cheech]

Im surprised he didnt say he was at Appalachian running through the woods

[scott22]

Yeah, Benny Boom signed on after that announcement. I know Frank Grillo and Benny Boom were both with Ralph in the last couple weeks.

It was his idea to hold the Apalachin meeting. He was too embarrassed to mention it.

Did Ralph Natale know Pete the Crumb Caprio? As they were both witnesses against Merlino at one of his trials.

Natale gave Caprio the order to kill Joe Sodano and then made him a captain, using him as a liaison with the Genovese and Gambino families

Thanks for your explanation Chin Gigante and didn't Caprio testify against Ligambi and Borgesi?

He testified in the 2001 RICO case, then again in 2004 in the Sodano murder trial, then in a Genovese case againsr Larry Ricci, then in the Ligambi case
