AMC and a few of the actors from Mad Men have an offer you can’t refuse. In celebration of The Godfather’s 40^th anniversary, AMC will be airing back-to-back viewings of the original, along with The Godfather: Part II. In honor of the milestone, AMC brought in Jon Hamm, Vincent Katheiser, and Jared Harris to film some of their thoughts on the film and cut it into a short commercial promoting the events that are to come.

You can check out the promo containing the Mad Men stars at EW.com. This week will see The Godfather being aired on Monday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. and midnight, with The Godfather: Part II airing Tuesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. Then on Friday the entire trilogy will play from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. It’ll be a busy day for anybody interested in sitting down for the whole thing. That’s a lot of movie to get through. You’d have to have some serious willpower to not go to something else, even for just a minute. Thank goodness for commercial breaks.

Finally, on Saturday AMC will be premiering the digitally restored version of The Godfather Saga. If you’re watching on a standard display television, the difference won’t really be that noticeable, but for those of us packing HD TVs, we should probably prepare ourselves for just how amazing it will look now that it’s been restored. How many of you are planning to watch as much of this marathon as possible?
