“Leave the guns. Take the cannoli!” Who doesn’t love the Godfather movies, Good Fellas, and the Sopranos? The mafia is part of the criminal mystique that makes our country fascinating and frightening. While most of us can quote the most notable mob films, many of us don’t know the history of the mafia in the United States nor do we stop to think about why it is that we’re obsessed with a bunch of criminals and killers. Join Jen and Carolyn as they break down the history, sociology, and psychology of our mafia-obsessed culture. We’ll also delve into the psychology of mob bosses and hopefully provide insight into how they can go from murder to mass with ease! So grab some gabagool and tune in!
