Everyone was too scared of him to correct him on how to wear the headphones.
You wouldn’t wanna fully put on some used headphones either
Westerexican 0315 he’s not messing up the slicked back do
Mike is a known rat.
No dude he just didn’t want to take them off 30 times in the video
Alot of people use the headphones that way cause people used them , to just hear a short scene... Use your brain
"I've been in jails all over the country."
He did a tour. 😂
loveballetmuch he did overnight
Tbf he was in federal prison. Henry Hill was sent to a state prison and even Martin Scorsese said that when they were researching for the scene, the truth wasn’t far off from what they depicted although they did slightly embellish it for theatrical purposes.
@@BostonsF1nest he's probably been in several state prisons being in that life, and he even said that.
amit77 Except he’s only been to federal prison...
@@BostonsF1nest I'm sure he knows plenty of people thatve been to a state prison, he knows it's not a holiday home like depicted in Goodfellas!
To be fair to The Sopranos, the whole "Mob Boss talking to a Psychiatrist being Dangerous" thing is one of the biggest points of contention in the series.
Frank Costello, mob boss of the Luciano crime family, saw a shrink
@@joshuaogle5856 and even then the jersey family was seen as a separate pigmy thing not too respected by the new York factions so it's not like they would care or even realistically findout
@@MrBoomBewm they still have the same oath as all other families, so no you're wrong.
@@andylarkin5779 no where in the oath does it mention seeing a therapist
@@andylarkin5779 and if you actually watched the show phil literally says what I said about them not being valid in his eyes anyway so it's moot
"He'd be in the trunk of his car by the end of the week, along with the psychiatrist"
Sounds like an actual line from The Sopranos
It sounds like something Tony Soprano would say, if he himself weren't seeing a shrink.
You can just imagine Tony's intonation and the slight pause before adding "along with the psychiatrist".
Yeap. Totally realistic. It´s not even a secret that he tries to hide it through the whole series.
Bc its a line from his real life.
What about guys who blab about the mafia on UA-cam? Shouldn't this guy be in trouble? 😂
@B2-xx8zj Yeah, not sure why Franseze didn't seem to remember that from season 1. I KNOW he's seen that show
The 1.9k people who disliked are no longer with us.
A moment of silence for the fallen😔
😂😂
Im still here 🙂
@@karhunt4014 Soon
@@joevenespineli6389 I'm still here 🙂
He commented on a movie scene that's based on actual event where he himself was present... This guy ain't no joke.
100%
Guys like him should be directing a mob movie something fictional nothing real but with realistic portrayal of how its done
Valcross
Well he has written some great books. I’d suggest to start there
@@couragew6260 what are the names bro?
Courage Wilkerson which books? I’d like to read!
The fact that this dude DEFINITELY killed people and is telling us how realistic mob scenes are is absolutely wild.
If he was a capo, yes he absolutely did.
@@ScheffCity je was arrested in 1978 as a driver in a mob hit but he beat his case
Michael has never admitted to killing anyone let alone been charged for it.
@@379insk And he will never ever admit to it if he did do it. Since as you’ve said, he’s never been charged
@@379insk which is smart since last I checked…there’s no statute of limitations on murder
The thing with the Sopranos is kind of weird, because they did point out in the show, that Tony was visiting Dr. Melfi in secrecy, and he did not want anyone to ever find out, for exactly the reason mentioned. When Junior and Phil Leotardo found out, they wanted to whack him straight away, so I would not call this whole thing "unrealistic", if I am making sense.
Yea
Everybody knew that Tony was seeing a shrink. Even Carmine talked to him about it.
@@gothic2fanHUN but he did explain it like it is which is the therapist cant say anything about what you said outside the room much like a lawyer
It came out after Tony had power. Thats why he never got whacked.
@@Olivegal55 nah, it came out quite soon, at least to Corrado’s knowledge.
He even listens to headphones like a mob boss... he looks like he’s listening to a wiretap
He's gotta keep one year on look out
Its typically the other way around the wiretaps are designed to listen in on the suspect lol
Yes!!!
He doesnt wanna mess up his hair
Ruthanne Marie stop this 😂😂😂😂😂
He is the only person who I want to hear that phrase "Back in the day."
What about Joey Diaz? "Back in 83 in North Bergen" That's when you know it's gonna be good.
Popular expression.
No
Ye
Ok Boomer?
I heard Gandolfini got a phone call one night from an anonymous member of the mafia who had watched an episode where Tony throws a barbecue and wears khaki shorts. "A don doesn't wear shorts" he said. They wrote it into the script. The sopranos by far had the most attention to detail.
That's somewhat hilarious, yet pretty terrifying to him.
A don doesn't get his newspaper in a bathrobe either.
Well doesn't that go against them having attention to detail?
Its wild this guy can say he was 10 ft from Columbo when he was shot, and then literally state with 100% confidence that he knows Frank didn't cap Joey Gallo, implying he knows exactly who it was that put down Crazy Joe.
It's so surreal to see this guy be able to critique stuff like that because he was there and directly involved.
It’s feels like meeting a celebrity
You know they was there especially with famous story
@@vinyldash2333 yea he's literally been feet away from murders and probably has done it himself or for sure sent for some ones death
He looks like a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy
Big PP he’s the “guy” that other people know. 😂
Shane Lambert true
Sounds like sentence from breaking bad. Lol
who knows a guy’s _cousin_
You're a funny guy
He looks like he’s gonna make me an offer I can’t refuse
MR MLG PRO this made me fuckin lol
That'll be a good title for a book if he decides to write one. 🤭
Khaei Azul he should write one with that exact title
@@i_have_no_friends3638 🤦🏻♀️🤭🤣🤣
MR MLG PRO He probably is
LMAO this is crazy, I've never imagined before that one day an ex-capo will be invited to review some mob movie scenes and correct them and give some details.
it clearly shows the transformed world we are in, mob is done or it moved on to online or transformed into something else.
😂 Right!!
The dudes a scumbag POS who killed people. WTF are you talking about? Geez, idiot!
Idk…if you look at the history of how mafia infiltrate everything, you would be surprised how often they were part of thing like movies, commercials, and other forms of social media.
The fact that he is so calm and controlled talking about the things that went down during his time with the mob is unnerving

Yo 😂😂😂 stop it pls 😂😂 I was scrolling and I landed this comment dope 😂
Looooooool
😂😂😂
I once heard somebody say: “The Godfather is how gangsters want to be portrayed and Goodfellas is what they’re actually like.”
Hell, Goodfellas actually polishes things up. Those guys were even worse in real life.
He did say that Joe Pesci's portrayals of mobsters was the most accurate out of all of them. And all of Pesci's characters are the opposite of class, honor and respect. Actually all his characters were pretty much psychopaths, so there you go.
@@StarryStarryNocturne His character in The Irishman was relatively subdued.
@@petebondurant58 well, in that film he was a high ranking mafia don. in Goodfellas he was just a low level thug.
Goodfellas sells it up a bit, but it is. Goodfellas is a film adaptation of the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi. Which is a chronicle of Henry Hill, who was a real person.
Holding the headphones like that is by far one of the most badass things to do
Glaze
Dude gave true scores and kept it real and simple. Love it. You can tell he lived...a life with some pain.
This guy is almost 70, wow, he looks like hes 50-54
Yeah, the dude is like 68. It's crazy.
All the olive oil kept him young
His father is 103 and looks 70. They got the genes.
@@Jt-ut1kk All that diet speculation crap has come out the last so many years, but reality is that life expectancy is longer in Europe because they have universal healthcare. We lose 20 9/11s of unnecessary deaths each year do to our failing healthcare system.
heretolevitateme It was a joke & he lives in the US not Europe so Idk what your point is.
“If you’re gonna make noise, you’re gonna make noise.” OH.
Nooooooo xd
You are pretty
NUMO wtf
NUMO the cringe
Stay Clean simp
Great job reviewing these scenes. Thanks Michael
I think Tony talking to a psychiatrist was a way for the storyteller to share what these guys were/are thinking/feeling, even though they may not actually vocalize it within the family for whatever reason.
exactly my thoughts
I’m scared at how much I trust this guy. His voice, appearance, how he tells his stories, etc, makes me feel calm. The content of the stories literally scream how much I should be feeling the opposite , lol.
Right lol weird
It's because it's been everyday Business to them. Not a big Thing.
Charismatic psychos will get you like that.
@@stayclean4161 I just got ran over by a bus, came down with the flu, possibly corona virus, LOL
Ikr - my thought exactly!!! 🙈
This guy is everywhere. Not complaining, quite intrigued actually.
I saw a week ago he was reviewing Mafia 2
If I knew a real life mob boss who was willing to be filmed for youtube then hell yeah imma have him appear on my channel!!
Yeah. Just saw another recent video of his as well.
I recommend his interview on the channel valuetainment.
He was actually the guest speaker at my graduation.
I'm so glad you got out, Michael. You have dedicated your life to make a positive difference, and you do it very well.
God bless.
I love watching these videos where someone who lived the life, gives their thoughts and opinions regarding the movie and tv interpretations of the mafia. It was very interesting to listen to his opinions. Especially since the Simpsons ranked higher than the Sopranos, that is good stuff. Great video!!
He's out of the game, no need to go hunt him, Batman
Next: hitman reviews hitman movie scene.

After That: Hitman's Bodyguard reviews The Hitman's Bodyguard

Next: dolphin reaction to national geographic documentaries of them. Dont ask about great white shark and jaws, it will end up in a gulp.
I like how The Simpsons portrayed the mafia better then some of the actual movies.
but the skin of the mafia is not yellow master shake
to be fair it's probably because they kept it simple, mob basics. they beat up a business owner who wouldn't pay, rather than slipping up by having a more complex scene where he talks to a psychiatrist or about the personal experience of prison for a wiseguy.
They're always pretty accurate
Tyson says the show is the most scientificly accurate show he saw
Benjamin Morris was thinking the same think (hoping the mob don’t see me commenting on mob videos )
Well, they are the real time travellers
The way Michael Franzese is wearing an almost identical outfit to Pesci in Casino is crazy!
Doesn't shock me at all a legit Mob guy says Pesci is the most realistic actor to ever portray a gangster. I've read multiples times that had Pesci not gone into show business he may have actually ended up connected or made himself. He grew up with a lot of those guys, and was well liked and respected by everyone who knew him.
I like how Michael Franzese is wearing almost the exact same outfit as Joe Pesci at 1:45
John Petersen yooo great eye!!!
I noticed that too lol
I stopped at that moment to find this comment
Looool! Never noticed that. Had to look again! 😅
Oh yea
This guy is 68 and looks better than some guys do in their 40s
Or 30s
TheNatural1 68??
Most guys
His dad is a hundred.
he CANNOT be 68 years old
I'm not surprised Joe Pesci is so accurate. You can feel the authenticity through the screen
He almost makes you afraid not to find him authentic.
Just to think that this guy was one of those badass bosses in the movies
He was an earner not a hitman calm down he made money and not off hits
@@comicz_the_7god He was an incredible earner, but we don't know about the hitman side, because unlike Sammy the Bull, he can't be free to talk about a lot of that stuff in public as he doesn't have protection. The most he will say is he had to be involved in some "violent" things. We don't know what that might have entailed.
He said Joe Pesci was the most realistic mob guy...hes by far the scariest one..
He is saying that qwhile wearing the same fuckin outfit 😳
The people who knew Tony Spilotro, the mobster Joe Pesci's character Nicky in Casino was based on, said Spilotro was even more violent in real life.
He scares me in Goodfellas the scene where he asked Henry if he thinks hes funny
JD Cantu Michael said that he “knew guys that were like that” - he didn’t say every, or most mob guys were as violent as that guy. Don’t get me wrong, they’re probably all incredibly violent and totally desensitised, but they’re not all completely sadistic like Peschi’s characters.
Scary, yes.....aging well....again, yes. Honestly not bad looking.
This man is soo dope that no one is commenting how he is holding the head phones. Hell it almost looked normal... Wow respect
Also so he has one ear open.
yes, lets glorify heartless murderers
g2gfaf first of all 99% of the time these guys don’t kill innocent people and he was a boss so he didn’t do the killing. My point is he is not a heartless murderer because killing other criminals is not the same as killing a random innocent civillian
@@RePaperBag Dude has changed completely, still I understand why you say that.
Hes italian man.. doesn't want to mess up the hair
The biggest flex is to be called the most realistic mob actor by an ex-mob damn
This man is friendly as all hell and still has the most imposing demeanor I've ever witnessed.

When he introduced himself as a mob capo, I thought, he seems nice.
But when he said he'd never watched The Simpsons, suddenly I knew I was looking into the eyes of a stone cold monster.
😂😂😂
Lol. Yes.
I never watched that. Am I a mob boss now?
That's What She Said yes you are a made man now.
He liked that scene, so he's not as much of a monster you thought he was.
So calm and composed and all points mentioned are provided with facts and points
I love the *smile* he has on his face during Pesci's threatening of Charlie the Banker.
I love how he's dressed almost exactly like Pesci in that Casino clip.
Mind you, Insider is behind production so they probably dressed him for this with that intent.
Funny, I was just thinking that now a days you put a blazer on any random dude and he could pass for a "mob boss" lol. With your comment it seems even more scripted now lol
Fitting, seeing as he's praising the authenticity of Pesci's performance.
@@justcommoncurt you really think they dressed him? seriously?
1:56 i like how Joe Pesci’s outfit in “Casino” is identical to what he is wearing
Wow...
Good eye! Didn't notice that the first time.
That scared me a little tbh
I can’t tell but it doesn’t look like Michael is wearing a dress shirt while Joe is
The sports jacket where he tells him he put his money to sleep or I'll put your brain to sleep
I really like seeing a mob boss's take on various mafia/mob movie scenes. I have to agree with Michael Franzese--Joe Pesci really is the best when it comes to playing off-the-charts, over-the-top violent wise guys
Michael has his own YT channel. Really interesting stuff and even some co-ops with Larry Lawton (the ex-Jewel Thief) so really good stuff. He is great.
My ex husband was a police officer in Vegas in the late 60s all the way thru to 1983 and he knew Larry and he suspected that he was in the mob the movie casino he remembers a lot of the real stuff that was in the movie

“On a scale of 1-5 I give it a 0”
“Umm, sir 0 isn’t on a scale of 1-5”

*get whacked
he'd give the buzzfeed producer an offer he can't refuse.

"Joe Pesci is the greatest and most realistic actor to ever portray a gangster on screen"
Thanks for confirming that.

He should do a commentary track for some of those mobster movies.
Michellexbeauty do you really think your watching something valid?
I could watch every single mob movie, in it's entirety, with him commenting.
the prison scene in Goodfellas is taken directly from Henry Hill's personal account in his book Wiseguy in which he described the little building separate from the main prison building in rural Pennsylvania and how they treated the prison guards like employees because thats basically what they were!
Love how casually he goes about talking about the two types of guns they would .... use to do... certain ... things
This guy looks like his is in his 40s, not 70s...for real
Totally Painful Italians age well
He's what???
@@ReplyGuy22345 that is certainly not the stereotype lol
I'm 31 but I'm said to look 24, and I haven't felt pain in my joints or bones yet. We Italians must have some black in us cause we don't age.
He's 68
"joe pesci is the greatest actor in mob role"
Joe Pesci is dressed exactly like him on that Cassino scene.
Mob minds think alike?
Lmaooo noticed that too 😂
LOL!!!!!
I knew Joe was too real super cool
Scorsese and Pesci grew up around those people and knew how they dressed, down to how the ties and collars of their suits were. Pretty incredible.
Love this guy, I could watch him all day.
he wears headphones like he's being investigated by the FBI lol.
Force of habit I guess 😂
For the fact that this guy was in the Mafia and probably smoked cigarettes every 5 minutes and drank like a fish, He looks real good for 70!?!
kiddo f o r r e a l
70? I thought he was 30 something goddamn he can age well
Don't forget the cigars, literally every mobster smoked cigars.
i thought he was 40-35
@@kiddo4765 his dad is 103 and still alive now
Joe Pesci in these roles is unrelentingly terrifying, even when he's being "nice". You just know he'd stick a fork in your eye without thinking twice.
O_O SCARY. 😱
I remember this mob movie when I was little (I forget the name) but I think Joe Pesci was in it he was talking to some guy about him being funny or something
@@alekso8254 Goodfellas. Great film, great scene
I was glad when they finished him off in the end. Guy was unpredictable
@@alekso8254 "Funny like I amuse you? Like I'm a clown?" lol good scene
Interesting . thanks for posting . I've heard him tell his story
Like they say so often: Everyone gangsta till a real mob boss reviews mobster movies.

"Not that I had anything to do with the shooting."
Well of course not, Mike.
Bruh, he was there. That’s why he said it was personal
Chaos ZT lol,
@@ch33zybreadtrellie4 He was at the shooting of Joseph Colombo, not Joey Gallo. But im pretty sure he 100% knew about the shooting despite not being there.
Me: 👀
He had an easy life. He was known as the yuppie don. Plus hes a rat. Let's see what the people he ratted on look like after years in the can.
I personally think that Mr. Franzese is going down in history as the most smart & successfully survived “The Life” much respect to this man!
This guy seems like a pretty chill guy. I like him.

Fuckin' ay
Apparently this is a multi-part series
They brought a legit Mob boss for this whoa I'm getting chills man
i like how every UA-cam channel made him watch and react to movie scenes :))
Real Stalker, watches “You”
This deserves a lot more likes ☝️
"1/5, the dialogue was a bit off, he wasn't obsessive enough"
That is a comment for you! Lol hilarious, scary and crazy
He looks like the kind of guy who would say “hey, I took care of that thing for ya”
more like "I HAD that thing taken care of for ya" but yes lol
he did take care of *a lot* of things back on the day...
😂😂😂😂
You mean he looks like the kind of guy who people tell “I took care of that thing for ya”
So he looks Like Pete The Killer?
I would love to see him react to scenes from the Italian mob series "Gomorrah".
It's about the Italian Camorra in Naples and not the American Italian mob, but I've seen him react to scenes from Yakuza games before. So it would be interesting to hear his take on the series and the differences between the Italian and American Mafia. Because the series gets a lot of praise for the realism. Most events from season 1 are actually based on events from the real world.
The sopranos addressed the talking a psychiatrist thing in season one and there was an attempt on his life.
They kind of moved on from it in the later seasons because it helped with character development and moving the story.
His father is the real deal. He was recently released from prison for shaking down a strip club when he was 93 years old.
Real deal? Yea how real to commit crimes!
@Frankie Basile the culture on being a criminal? Oh wow teach me that please. What a culture! Stop glamorize criminality loser

@@freskars thats italian
I like that this guy isn’t all loud and romanticizing the mob. He’s just like “No it happened but not like that”. Great video
So matter of fact about the use of guns back in the day! He speaks so calmly about it all and the Soprano's outcome would have cut short the series! 😮
A .45 ACP actually makes a lot of sense for use with a suppressor. The standard ammo is already subsonic, and it's a big heavy bullet, so it's gonna be much quieter than something like a 9×19mm Parabellum with standard ammo, which tends to be supersonic and will create a supersonic crack. .45 ACP basically achieves comparable muzzle energy to a lot of common 9mm loads (around 500 joules) without breaking the sound barrier. So it's a good choice for use with a suppressor. Or if you cannot use expanding projectiles like hollow points for whatever reason. It's that "echo" or snap you'll typically hear after a rifle has been fired. Same thing applies to several handgun calibers and ammo types. As long as the bullet achieves a velocity that is faster than the speed of sound, you're gonna get a sonic boom, and a even with a suppressor the gunshot will be audible. Indoors a sonic boom can even be enough to cause hearing damage, even if you use a suppressor. Also depends on what you're shooting with and the suppressor you're using.

Now that’s why Pesci is Oscar worthy
i like Mr. Franzese and hope his life is good.
They missed so many..this could have been an hour and would have been great.
Just watched Goodfellas again yesterday and never noticed he said "Mikey Franzese" when he was naming all the guys in the beginning. Pretty cool
I just noticed that not too long ago as well! I've seen Goodfellas so many times, going back to the 1990's! And I never noticed that until recently!
They added him to that scene because he was a high profile name in the news in late 80s. He did run into them now and again at that time though.
Probably because they mispronounced his surname intentionally

@@kajiwara8324 i don’t know if they really did intentionally, Sammy is also calling franchese during their podcasts.
"He portrays a mob guy better than any mob guy i know"
Fyre everybody gangsta until Joe Posci
I could listen to this dude talk all day.
How has this guy not been clipped yet? Is his location a secret at all times?
The fact that Tony would get killed if people found out that he was seeing a psychiatrist was the main plot point of the first season. There are multiple attempts on his life for this reason
The Sopranos is also about a mafia from the 2000s, and at that time the Cosa Nostra was much less organized than in the Franzese era, so I think the fact that Tony sees the psychiatrist is purposely done to show how the mafia was ruined in those days.
@@vicentekokaly322 yep exactly!
It's just a literary-device, a way of having us listen to Tony's internal struggles, but it's done extremely well. I think the Sopranos is high art and is in its own way like those extraordinary, large paintings by the old masters.
The only problem is I would gather realistically hus own crew would have turned on him. That's liability to big to ignore.
Yeah but his point is they never would be in the first place.

Tony visiting a psychiatrist and it being weird was the whole premise of The Sopranos at the start. The show acknowledges it's not something you do as a mob member, but it was great for storytelling and character development.
"If a mob boss was ever visiting a psychiatrist, he'd be in the trunk of his car by the end of the week, along with the psychiatrist."
Yikes.
Rattenhoofd that’s how mafia works 😂
But can be a rat on UA-cam ? Hmmmmm
@Willie It's not being a rat if the current mob is pretty useless...He's talking about back in the day..
That made me laugh.
The fact he could be killed for having a shrink was a huuuuge part of the Soprano's plot.
I think he learned to hold the headphones like that from the guys in the van outside his house.
no it was from hours of fbi testimony and court testimony
He learned the headphone holding technique from watching “The Sopranos.”
Aside from his past life as a Mafiaso Mike genuinely seems like he changed his life and seems like a super down to earth guy
1:17 that angle of Michael's fave is so nice for a portrait
He wasn't wearing those headphones because he didnt want to ruin his hair, us Italians keep our hair in check along with the rest of us.
