2024-10-19 15:46:37 +0000 UTCI am so excited for the rest of this show! It's so unique. The hard-hitting moments have such a unique kind of gutpunch that no other show really has. You really feel them in your soul lol.

2024-09-18 23:02:38 +0000 UTCNot sure what got your balls so twisted that you’re still on this days later but alright. It’s my least favorite episode of this great series and to others it’s not. Regardless, hope everything’s good with you. On to a great rest of the season. Commendatori!

2024-09-15 20:11:21 +0000 UTCI watched the Sopranos alongside you girls at first and now I'm ahead haha. Don't worry, Adriana will get a storyline and I think you two will enjoy it as well.

2024-09-15 09:10:12 +0000 UTCThere is a shade of difference with Tony's dynamic with the neighbors vs how he wants to project himself to say, his family or Artie. They are specifically upper-class more "vanilla" americans and that's what he's referring to even though he's not saying it in those exact terms. Artie also isn't really in his "world" but he sorta is just in terms of his socio-eco background, so it's not quite the exact same type of validation. He seemed to want to challenge his father's perception a bit and even made a slight dig at the typical types of conversation that his own social groups would have (something about ali vs another fighter?). With his neighbor it seemed more purely social validation whereas with say how he wants his kids/artie to view him has a more moral tinge. His final therapy scene in the ep appears to highlight the more social aspect as well and it's interesting to see him still end up mocking the kid at the very end.

2024-09-15 07:03:04 +0000 UTCThe influence of sopranos actually goes beyond just anti-heroes, since that's the only thing I'm seeing mentioned. It also had a lot of structural/cinematic influences on TV as well. It's hard to get into them without spoilers. Actually one that can be pointed out right now is that mental illlness wasn't really as prominent and open before and this was during a time when it was more stigmatized.

2024-09-15 05:59:04 +0000 UTCThe actress who played Adriana won an Emmy for her role on this show, so trust me when I say she will leave a mark. Btw the next 3 episodes are a gonna be really good.

Thomas De Peña
2024-09-15 03:18:35 +0000 UTCNah the worst episode is later in the series. This one is definitely the worst of early Sopranos though. Still not bad.

2024-09-15 03:09:44 +0000 UTCThis is one of the episodes that has a lot of references to real-life New Jersey history and culture that wouldn't have worked anywhere else. "Asbury", where Chris says that Silvio Dante owned clubs, is Asbury Park, a city on the Jersey Shore that is regarded as the music capitol of the region. Several of the biggest music acts in New Jersey got their start there in the '60s and '70s, and every band that tours through the region now makes a point of playing there at least once. Funny enough, this weekend is actually the "Sea.Hear.Now" music festival in Asbury Park. On a second layer of the same subject, the actor who plays Silvio Dante is not an actor by trade, he's a musician. Steven Van Zandt is a member of the E Street Band, which is regarded as one of THE biggest bands to ever come out of New Jersey as the backing band for superstar Bruce Springsteen. One of their breakout albums is "Greetings From Asbury Park". The band is playing tomorrow at that music festival. So when Chris says that Silvio knows music, everybody who knows NJ culture gets that he KNOWS MUSIC since he actually helped create the current music world. Chris is correct that the music industry was heavily controlled by organized crime figures up to the end of the '70s, and a lot of them did really exploit their acts like Massive Genius said. There was also a lot of racial tension, which was reflected here. Jews at the time -- and still today depending on how you look at it -- were not considered "white" in American society and faced a lot of exclusion from certain jobs and industries. But they didn't face the SAME racism that African-Americans faced -- and still face -- so sometimes they would try to step on each other in order to raise themselves up. After all, if I push you down, doesn't that mean I'm doing better? John Gotti is a real-life crime figure. He was a member of the Gambino family in New York City, and eventually became head of that family. He was a very flashy and famous figure, and was eventually convicted in the '90s. Except for fictional characters, in the '90s and early '00s he was the one crime figure that was known by name nationwide. So these people asking Tony if he knows Gotti shows them latching onto the famous details. Chris is Carmela's close cousin by blood, and is referred to as Tony's "nephew" since their families were close and Tony has known him since his infancy. Chris is also distantly related to Tony as well given how all of the Italian families throughout the region are intertwined, but it's a very distant connection.

2024-09-15 02:55:39 +0000 UTCBeing the weakest of the season doesn't mean it's bad, it's a good episode. the difference is that the level of the others is just too high

2024-09-15 02:55:17 +0000 UTCPaulie is so adorable.

2024-09-15 02:45:04 +0000 UTCAgreed the last 3 are great. Can’t wait for them to meet the season 2 characters
TheBrandonator69
2024-09-15 02:29:25 +0000 UTCit’s not that bad. I can think of a few that’s definitely worse

2024-09-15 02:24:10 +0000 UTCAnd the acronym RICO was chosen because of the Edward G Robinson movie Little Caesar
Chris
2024-09-15 02:22:50 +0000 UTCEh yeah these last two were a bit weaker. The last 3 of the season are great though. And the future seasons are better.

2024-09-15 01:34:24 +0000 UTCBecause it has been brought up on the show a few times, The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

2024-09-15 01:21:04 +0000 UTCGeez, you girls ate through this season. I feel like it was just like maybe 3-4 weeks ago that you started the show

Josip
2024-09-15 01:09:14 +0000 UTCIt’s probably the weakest imo, but that just shows how good the sopranos is.
Cole
2024-09-15 00:48:37 +0000 UTCI love this episode. The hurt Tony feels is so vulnerable.
Michael Kang-Beats
2024-09-15 00:43:13 +0000 UTCNah I’m not gonna. I’m watching and I’m cringing out of my skin
TheBrandonator69
2024-09-15 00:30:02 +0000 UTCI agree that this is the worst Sopranos episode of the entire series, but it's still like a solid B.

2024-09-15 00:29:07 +0000 UTCThere’s good and there’s not good, and this is not good
Darrach
2024-09-15 00:21:19 +0000 UTCI don't listen to that much music, but Meow is up there with the best songs ever.
Cole
2024-09-15 00:18:31 +0000 UTCI can understand why people think this is the weakest episode, and it might be so simply by process of elimination because the rest of the show is so good, but this episode does add to the character of Andrea. We find out a little more about her than just that she's Chris's girlfriend.
Damien Fenton
2024-09-15 00:17:59 +0000 UTCneed to catch up with this one. a few episodes behind i'm afraid 🙃
sand_fl
2024-09-15 00:06:53 +0000 UTCOh god, before I even watch this I already want to apologize that you had to watch this. Easily the worst episode of the entire series. I've been dreading this since you guys started The Sopranos. MEOW
