Episode 25: The Power of Flashback, Featuring The Godfather, Part II, and Sleepers and Safe Place by Lorenzo Carcaterra

SHOW NOTES: 

On Episode 25, Pete discusses his favorite movie scene of all time, the ending flashback scene of The Godfather, Part II, as well as wrenching and profound flashbacks from Lorenzo Carcaterra’s books Sleepers and A Safe Place. The chills produced by these flashbacks largely come from the juxtaposition of carefree and innocent days put up against traumatic and fraught ones.
