welcome everybody it's time for another Hollywood Godfather podcast. And before we go any further,

our co-host. Hello, everybody. So happy to be here as usual.

I'm doing great.

We have to thank you for our guest.

And so we'll give you the honors of bringing

I can't wait to talk to him because his new book

All right, guys. So we've got a great show tonight.

So let me give him a quick little intro for our wonderful guest.

Before there was James Dean, before there was Elvis Presley, there was Marlon Brando.
