My appreciation for Stallone has grown over the years. I always see him shooting an explosive arrow whenever I think of him. Loved his movies as a kid.

[dougbodenhamer]

The scene where he gets his picture taken at the DMV, and then he turns to the side and the guy says what are you doing? Like it's a mug shot, lord I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Great show!

[tolnaijani]

Realistic or not. Best show this year and Sly is doing an EXCELLENT job.

[jukkak]

I've been following Michael for couple of years now and I have to say he has taught me so much how to avoid criminal life with religion! Thanks Michael! Respect & love from Finland!

[chrisdoherty]

I really wish Stallone would do a sit down with you, both very successful and knowledgeable men. I have loved him as I was young and I seen Rocky and Rambo. I think this series is a dark comedy more than an accurate portrayal of the mob. Even I know that if you raise your hands to a made man whether you're made or not, it's a death sentence.

[godquest]

Wow. Sly has came a long ways since Rambo. He is aging well at 76 and kicking butt and taking names. Another great one Michael. Thank you for all you do. Blessings!

[masonictrucker]

Everyone thought in the early 2000’s that Sly was done and I always knew he wasn’t, then came Rocky Balboa in 2006 and Rambo 4 in 2008 followed by Expendables 2009 and Escape plan 2013, bullet to the head and countless others and now this absolutely classic, go on Sly #TRTANDHGHFORLIFE

You are a great story teller, Goombah! I can call you that. I'm 100% Italian-American from NJ and had family in the life. Your videos are awesome. God Bless you!

[YTConor]

Fun fact Mr Franzese, on this day in 1933 Prohibition ended! Thanks for all the content and your tips on negotiating, very helpful🤝🏼

i'VE enjoyed Tulsa King more than expected! Good writing and acting 4 episodes in!

[debbiemanning]

Great commentary. Thanks for that. Stallone’s family had an Italian Take Out spot where I grew up. It didn’t stay open late daily because they had to have been making a lot. The food was out of this world AND there was a bakery attached. Oooh the danish & parstries. I’m talking maybe 30years ago and when they went out of business, the county was wounded! Mostly delivery drivers were the customers. Trucks going to JFK & normal courses of delivery business. This wasn’t far from where Gotti lived. I will never forget “Stallone’s” in Queens NY.

[Jared_Wignall]

It’s cool that Stallone has done a lot in his career and has taken chances where some wouldn’t exactly do the same. Not every role he’s done is great, but those help him grow so he can play the parts where he truly shines, such as this role. Great video Michael!

[seekingwisdom]

In my opinion, this is the best I’ve ever seen Stallone. He’s a great actor, and this show allows him to really act. It felt like he was playing nearly the same character in most of his movies, an angry raging guy. Now he plays a guy who is in complete control, but reveals his humanity in different ways.

[Ryan-wtxb]

Yea I am liking the show. Just got done with e4 and I was thinking the same thing. He is a good leader that makes you want to follow him.

[edr.]

I remember when he filmed Rocky. I was 10 years old. He was running in the Italian market in South Philly. I live about 10 blocks south of the location. I always liked Sly from when I was a kid. 👍👍👍

[daymoncleveland]

For decades, we watched mafia movies that we didn’t understand because we weren’t part of that life, and no one was willing to talk about it. Now we have Michael, who was part of that life and all the included activities (including murder) so now he’s able to accurately tell us what that life was about.

[johynsmith]

Thanks Michael! I always appreciate your take on things. Enjoyed the call about MobTies this week. Anything you put your name on, will succeed with God's grace! God bless!

[theclipperking]

Hey Michael it would be sooo great to see you sit down with Stallone and talk about artistic license and realism in the entertainment industry

[buttons]

Thanks for the content Mr. Franzese. God bless :)

[betmulligan]

Totally enjoying Tulsa King and your reviews of the show. I'm a Stallone fan going into this and he is just so much fun to watch. Good writing, funny scenes and just a blast. Your perspective on the realism is informative and something to think about. The show is over the top but so is Cosa Nostra in so many ways. Thank you for a cool video series.
