John Travolta gives the thumbs-up in GottiGotti (2018; Kevin Connolly) – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 31

“Let’s get into this fucking travesty.”

In this Family-friendly episode of the Dare Daniel Podcast, Mafia history buff Corky McDonnell and legitimate businessman Daniel Barnes take their whacks at Kevin Connolly’s 2018 critical punching bag biopic Gotti, starring John Travolta as the legendary New York mob boss.

A love letter to the Gotti family that became an instant legend bad movie upon release, the film combines a half-dozen framing devices, nonsensical time jumps, real-life news reports, bullet point scenes without beginnings or ends (or middles for that matter), and straight-to-camera narration into an indecipherable, unwatchable, excruciating mess.

The flummoxed hosts discuss Travolta’s immobile face, create a gangster movie soundtrack station on Sirius called Mob Hitz, and reveal the secret identity of Pit Bull.
