Donnie Brasco (1997)
"Forget about it..." Ring any bells?? Come on ActionBabyz! The Boyz are talking DONNIE BRASCO this week. This ones got it all - cops, mafia, a late seventies aesthetic, accents, and fucking Al Pacino crushing it. With so much to unpack, this episode goes LONG. The Boyz talk so long on this one their editor had to invent new technology to upload the goddamn episode. Does this episode warrant the length?? SPOILER ALERT: Fuck yeah it does...this one is gonna win the ABZ a fucking Emmy

There is an episode of "inside the american mob" that covers operation Donnie brasco it's on national geographic channel I think? Anyhoo all the episodes of that show are pretty awesome
Hell yeah

I probably shouldn't bother commenting so late but after re-watching and then listening to this episode I can't help wondering if the whole ring part at the beginning was part of the setup. The bureau doesn't like to have agents hurt civilians. It would make sense they arranged that whole thing by having that guy pass a fake ring to Lefty so Donnie could demonstrate his mettle to him. Hence why Donnie has loose diamonds on him and why his cover is "The Jeweler" which is never really brought up again.
Hey mijos, this one also does not seem to play or DL. Thanks!
I hope that the shitting on Stangerbot/Gorgon is a bit 'cause Bot/Gorgon is legit my favorite part of every episode. I'm always sad when I listen to really early episodes and Bot hasn't yet become a full, protracted thing.
What is the podcast that talks about the art heist? Gotta check that out!

The one time the actor who played Mikey in Beverly Hills Cop actually shows up in a movie...
L. O. L. Lol. Great ep.
Stangerbot is going from strength to strength. Looking forward to more broke / Christmas material 😉
The interplay between Depp and Pistone working out is amazing.
We as listeners are incredibly lucky that we get a Lorne and Dar cameo.
Hey guys, I think the money Donnie was gonna give to Lefty was the bowling bag full of money he took from the Vegas night at King's Court. He told Sonny Black the cops got it but they didn't. Alright, I gotta take off.
gotta go take a shit?
Gabrus was right the real Lefty was actually arrested on his way to be murdered in real life
Joe Pistone is a huge dick in real life. He wears sunglasses during his interviews and you can tell he low key wanted to be in the mob real bad the Sauna Gazette reports
Stangerbot bit was hilarious in this one and definitely want that guy to stick around
The trailer for Dominick and Eugene, the movie Rodgers was talking about: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUUF24CkOQM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUUF24CkOQM</a>

PRAISE THE PORCELIN GODS
'Bitch Stanger' is my new favourite character.
Stangerbot didn't make his warmup noises. Is he sick? Where can I send oil to help him?
What? Brasco? What do you guys know about New York ginzo culture?
It's long but the build up on twitter made it out to be longest episode, which it isn't. Still look in' forward to this one! 😀
settle down kaczynski, 2.5 hrs is plenty long enough
2h 27m isn't even in the top 3 longest episodes..
