Episode 18: Gotti
Manage episode 436438298 series 3574934
Have you ever thought, “Maybe John Gotti has a lot in common with Nelson Mandela?” If so, this is the film for you.
John Gotti gets the “throw every good movie about the cosa nostra in a blender and strain out the wrong lessons and the cliches” treatment with this barely-a-movie biopic that boasts 38 producers, 5 production companies, too many connections to the TV show Entourage, and little else. Oh, and Pitbull’s here to threaten you with his score.
Gotti also offers John Travolta preening around with a cat-butt mouth, performances that challenge the terribleness of Robert Wuhl, wigs for days, scenes containing two people just yelling “whatsa matter with you” at each other, ugly wedding gowns, and sanity-challenging needle drops. Also a new game: is it the work of alleged elder abuser Randall Emmett, or is it ChatGPT?
Gotti stars John Travolta as John Gotti, Spencer LoFranco as John A. Gotti, Kelly Preston as Victoria Gotti, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Angelo Ruggiero, and William DeMeo as Sammy Gravano.
