awesome

Goddamnit the Sopranos is so good. The Sopranos is life. Prestige TV is shit. Everything else is shit.

Damn I forgot how funny Anthony Jr. is. Just a perfect character.

Funniest Sporano T/S

Anthony Jr. vs Paulie Walnuts

Minor subplot but great is the speeding ticket with the cop who winds up working at Fountains of Wayne. At first it doesn’t make sense — why does Tony vascillate between vengeful and soft hearted? But in the last scene it becomes clear: it’s control. He can’t stand the fact that there’s someone he can’t manipulate, whether through rage, bribes, kindness, or displays of power.

really, i'm the only one who thinks Newark is a lousy movie title

it's not great, but The Many Saints of Newark sounded like an Ed Burns movie

saints preserve us!

planned release: 9/25/20

Each time I see it, I picture Liotta working a quaint little B&B in Vermont.

says the "Patterson" fan

"Paterson" even gosh darnit

Every time I see it I picture Peter Finch ranting about just how mad he is and just how unwilling he is to take it anymore.

The title feels menacing to me because I know the context and read extensively about the riots not that long ago, but I would imagine general audiences might think of it as like Manhattan Pt. 2.

Based on how Detroit did...

and i'm FROM Newark... my parents even moreso.

Man, the Tracie episode was hard to watch. Tony feels sad about it, a girl his own daughter’s age, yet he enables Ralphie and directly profits off the exploitation of Tracie. It’s literally what puts his own daughter in the nice, safe, Ivy League school she’s attending while it all goes down.

Yeah, hardest episode of them all to watch.

Yet I think it serves the show well and isn't just some dark for the sake of dark bullshit. It reminds you who these people really are and what they really do, lest you get too cozy with them.

ralphie disrespected the bing!

Dr Krakower (Carmella's therapist): c/d?

Extremely classic

agree, love him

I'm through S4 Ep5 now.

That Columbus Day episode was hot garbage, sheesh.

one of the greatest screencaps from the show tho

irl lol again

haaaaa

Almost done with S5. Maaaaaan it gets dark.

Where are the other first-timers at now?

think flopson stopped watching after he finally got to the ton-carm action

lol

he's missing out on the actually hot tony-carm pool scene then

had a long vacation and the weather's nice and I'm hesitating to finish S6. Maybe I'll just take it slowly.

My wife had never watched this before, so I'm going through it all for the first time since the original run ended. Things happen so much sooner than I remember, but I'm enjoying it so far. Totally blanked on the Favreau episode for some reason. Loved watching Christopher knock Swingers.

I haven't seen Swingers since it came out but I'm kind of guessing it hasn't aged well

Still getting through 6 and taking the darkness in small doses. So good though.

Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirippa are doing a podcast where they rewatch every episode...

https://pca.st/podcast/b6d9fa00-3a41-0138-9723-0acc26574db2

My favourite fact so far is Schirripa having to wear a fatsuit to play Bobby.

My first rewatch since I finally caught up with five years ago. Just finished Season 1. Like many other shows I've rewatched, the first time--because of advance word and heightened expectations--it took me a few episodes to warm up, but second time, immersed right from the start.

I've got to say that Carmela's send-off to Father Phil (probably Season 1's creepiest character) in the season finale is, word-for-word and gesture-for-gesture, brilliant. Killed me: "...I think a lot of it is tied up with food somehow."

If I group The Sopranos, Goodfellas, and the first two Godfathers together, I think the most terrifying guy of all might be Richie Aprile, even more than Pesci in Goodfellas. Couldn't believe when I first found out it was easy-going Tony from Mean Streets.
