[00:00:00] Welcome to Organized Crime and Punishment, the best spot in town to hang out and talk about history and crime with your hosts, Steve and Mustache, Chris.
Welcome to this very first episode of Organized Crime and Punishment, a history and crime podcast. My name is Steve and I am joined by my co-host mustache Chris. In this podcast, we are going to give you the basic, Concept of organized crime and punishment, a history podcast, and really break down what we're going to try and do in this show.
Now, Chris, maybe tell us a little bit how we met and where the genesis of this podcast came from. Oh, yeah, me and you've been talking for I don't know how many years now. Four or five [00:01:00] years at least. Yeah, I don't know. We met like just via Facebook really? Right on history podcasts, arguing with people about events in history, really.
And then me and you kind of just tended to agree on a lot of stuff. We're still arguing about history to this day. Now this podcast, and it's maybe we're the right rebels to make this kind of podcast, a history podcast on true crime. Now, Chris became a regular guest on my previous podcast Beyond the Big Screen, and we really started talking about very different kind of movie and beyond the big screen, but it, it developed over time into talking about true crime and especially organized crime.
Yeah, initially we were, I think for first movie we were discussing like when, uh, we were talking about like, me, you know, coming on your, uh, podcast once in a while was the Prometheus and I turned into like a, almost like, it felt like a month [00:02:00] discussion about the movie. And then, you know, we've done like a lot of, made a lot of content together actually.
Uh, and beyond the big screen. We also did a series on eight man outs, which was. Really cool. It ties into, cuz it's kind of about organized crime, maybe we can revisit that for this podcast that we're doing now. And then we kind of shifted, we were gonna do like a little series on the Mafia and I think we picked out like, I think it was like six movies we were gonna do initially and then I.
Just kind of one thing led to another and we kept on adding movies. We kept on saying, oh, we gotta do like a background episode on this. And like more and more of the research was more about like the history behind these movies. And you know, we decided let's just do a organized crime podcast. When we started diving into the, talking about these mafia movies and we talk about this movie and that movie.
We both started to feel kind of constrained that we had to tie it to a movie because there's so many [00:03:00] great stories that go beyond any movie and it's like, oh, I wish we could talk about this topic or that topic. The Appalachian conference or the uh, the story of the Colombo family. But we really couldn't because there wasn't a movie that directly tied to it.
And that's where we started to think that, let's stretch this out. And that's what this podcast is really going to be about is deep dives into so many aspects of organized crime and things that you can look forward to. In this very first series our we're going to look into. The five families
