About this episode

Filmmaker Miles Stephenson discusses his documentary on Joe Colombo and shares insights on his family's emphasis on education and his experiences in the film industry.

On the Hollywood Godfather podcast, hosts Gianni and Jeanie welcome back filmmaker Miles Stephenson, who discusses his documentary The Real Godfather about Joe Colombo and how the making of The Godfather intersected with New York’s mafia. Gianni shares stories from his youth, including receiving a radio from Carlo Gambino while quarantined at Bellevue, killing a pedophile that led to his release, and being protected and supported by Frank Costello, who later gifted him a million dollars and left him an apartment. Miles describes his family’s emphasis on education, his mentorship experiences interviewing Jon Voight for a Robert Duvall documentary, and promotes his Instagram. He announces a novel in progress about the Romanian mafia’s origins under communist Romania, outlines his research approach, and the hosts caution him about safety and offer help and contacts.
