S6 Part 2: Episode 5 - The Good Son
Apr 101:40:49Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to be a good son? How does standing tall "like a man" destroy some of these characters? We delve deep into these questions and so much more as we break down the mid-season classic "Walk Like a Man" which is a tremendous Chris and AJ episode that ends in shocking and deeply unsettling fashion. Where is it all going? What does it all mean? Buckle up. It's only getting crazier from here. We discuss all of this and so much more, right after we borrow tools from "Mike"...

Transcribe →S6 Part 2: Episode 4 - On Tilt
Jan 2501:22:37Tap to summarizeWe're back from the holidays better than ever as we start unpacking the back half of the final nine episodes! This week, Chris, Paul, & Jordan dissect the stylistically unsettling "Chasing It" where Tony's bad run of gambling catches up with him, poisoning his relationship with one of his oldest friends, adding tension to his most heated business rivalry, and further damaging his marriage. It's a wild ride with some uncomfortable moments and dark humor. Also: Phil is the big boss of New York, Little Vito gets rebellious, and Melfi calls Tony to account for his missed sessions. Great discussion about what may arguably be the weakest episode of the final nine. All this and so much more, right after we put all our podcast money on the Jets... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Transcribe →S6 Part 2: Episode 3 - Red Buttons
Dec 801:29:06Tap to summarizeChris, Paul, Jordan & Lily dig into "Remember When", an episode that creates a painful but compelling look at nostalgia and how the past still weighs on the present, even for those who are unable to remember it. Paulie and Tony head south as the FBI digs up Tony's first murder victim, while back home in Jersey, Junior is boss of the mental hospital running a new kind of executive game. Meanwhile in New York, Phil makes a move that will send shockwaves through the underworld after Doc Santoro takes a bite of food off his plate. One by one Tony is assessing his relationships with those closest to him and it's not looking good. It's a wild ride full of great drama, dark humor, and some surprise celebrity cameos. All this and so much more, right after we order salads and wraps after 11:00... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Transcribe →S6 Part 2: Episode 2 - The Sacred and the Profane
Oct 2601:14:50Tap to summarizeChris, Paul, & Jordan break down "Stage 5" which sees three major storylines about legacy converge into one packed, uncomfortable, and thrilling hour. The stage is set for a wild ride as pieces are moved into place in New York for Phil Leotardo as he recons with his legacy. Johnny Sac gets some troubling medical news and deals with the fallout, and Chris' movie "Cleaver" premieres, but the best drama isn't happening on screen once Tony delves into the subconscious. It's a wild and surprising ride with some harsh but also introspective scenes and a shockingly wise monologue from Carmine Jr. of all things! We break it all down here, and so much more right after we tell him to put it in the trunk... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Oct 501:36:50Tap to summarizeWe're back for the final nine episodes! It's a bittersweet analysis as the hosts of our podcast, Chris, Paul, Jordan, and Lily ask "Is this it?" It's almost end times for us and for our favorite show, but what an episode to kick off the final season with. "Soprano Home Movies" is an all-time "banger" with humor, the spectre of the past, and dark hopes for the future as Tony, Carmela, Janice, and Bobby spend some time relaxing on the lake. We dig into family, Sopranos past and present, Greek Mythology, Livia, and - of course - a whole lot of Monopoly talk. All this and so much more, right after we buy a railroad...

Transcribe →Season 6A Retrospective - Part 1
Dec 3, 202401:21:38Tap to summarizeThe penultimate season is over and we get into the weeds on 6A right away. Did it work as a standalone season? What role does Tony take on? What storylines hit? What didn't? Chris, Lily, Paul & Jordan talk at length about Tony, Carmela, Artie Bucco, Eugene Pontecorvo, Junior, & Vito. Plus! We bring back "top three" rankings in food moments, music cues, and quotes. All this and so much more! WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Transcribe →S6 Part 1: Episode 12 - Hallmark Moment
Oct 22, 202401:42:58Tap to summarizeThe 6A finale "Kaisha" is a grim, anticlimactic affair. Does it work as a finale to 6A? Does it tie up the beautiful sweeping philisophical themes presented at the top of 6A? Chris, Paul, Jordan & Lily think so! We make the case for the underappreciated 6A finale in this lengthy discussion. Phil and New York almost boil over, but dont. Tony and Chris almost boil over, but dont. Carmela almost looks into Adriana's disappearance, but doesn't. All this amidst a backdrop of characters falling into old habits, and further aggravating deep wounds. It's a beautiful disintigration. All this and so much more, right after we look Paul in the eye and jam a icepick through his lung... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Chris, Paul, & Jordan discuss why it worked so well even though they don't agree on the whole story. Plus! An amazing trip to France for Carmela and Rosalie leads to some truly beautifully acted moments. This one has it all! Philosphy, mob drama, great therapy scenes, problems on the Homefront, it's just such a treat. All this and so much more, right after we get fired from Blockbuster... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!

Aug 19, 202401:07:55Tap to summarizeCheck out the "Moe & Joe" action! While the energy is a bit more slow and deliberate than is normal for this point in a season, The Sopranos deliver a quality hour that has some really beautiful scenes, great character moments, and interesting story developments. Chris, Paul, & Jordan discuss the root of Tony & Janice's relationship difficulties, Johnny Sac's sentencing, and of course Vito's failed quest to become an "average Joe" up in New Hampshire. All this and so much more, right after we talk to our mother about this shit... WE HAVE A PATREON NOW!
