Michael Franzese has to be the most intelligent and interesting mob guy ever!

[@maximusdecimusmeridius5500]

no trust me all these guys are pretty fucking sharp. They got honor morals and a code. For the most part don't get me wrong there are your Sammy the Bulls around a lot of Corners these days.

[@MotorCityRacingChannel]

That's why he's still alive

[@nm425]

but he's lying about a bunch of shit, i guarantee it. first off, i don't believe he's an honest catholic, i think he did that to ingratiate himself with the public. second, i bet he's a lot dirtier than he claims. he didn't just 'steal from the government' in a gas scheme. mobsters steal from everyone.

@@maximusdecimusmeridius5500 ain't no honor in snitching, when you know your part of that life.

[@Calilou52]

@@maximusdecimusmeridius5500 nah, they really werent that sharp. Difference between Michael and 95% of other mafiosi is Michael would have been a millionare without the mob but his capo father saw his potential in earning and the rest is history. Most the other guys joined because they were good for nothing else and could only get things through brute force, thievery, and manipulation. The "geniuses"of the mob where the ones like Michael who had no temper, respected everyone, and constantly found new discreet ways to make a ton of cash. He didnt have to use a bat and a duffle bag to earn, just his brain and that basically never happened in the mob except for a few cases

Are you being serious? Every modern mob movie ever made has Michael in it lol

[@K.Angelina]

j00 which ones? I’ve never seen one with a character playing him in it. Except Goodfellas but that’s only for a split second really.

[@byrongammonbyrongammon9937]

Agreed. Scorsese screwed up selecting Henry Hill. Franzese has way more depth to his journey.

[@Synchrodive]

the way he speaks sounds like Robert De Niro

[@willpbh9694]

I know he's considered a bad guy but I listen to him talk all day

[@manictiger]

Wow, the audio on that tiny NASA-tech looking microphone is pretty impressive.

When Mike Franzese talks listen and take notes! He has so much street and life knowledge hes a great mentor! 💯👊😎

True Geordie needs to get this guy on his podcast

[@kencoakley3959]

I actually have "Mausoleum" on Blu Ray from Vinegar Syndrome. I actually like that movie a lot. Franzese was also the producer of an exploitation movie called "Savage Streets" which I also liked a lot.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

Sounds like an episode from the Sopranos..

[@boostboost8567]

Aside from being with the mob, this guy is a real class act. Intelligent, handsome, and you just feel he is totally honest. I am glad he has a great Family and is at peace with himself. GOD bless him, he is around my age, I live in Queens NY and would have loved to been. His running buddy under different circumstances. Back in the days.....great honest story teller..

[@romancatullo7496]

I saw Mausoleum !! That was almost 24, 25 years ago.

Almost sounds like the plot of Get Shorty. Makes me wonder if he inspired the Novel by Elmore Leonard.
