I watched this one last night when I couldn't sleep, so ******* good. They are doing one podcast per Sop's episode & bringing in other cast members & crew so at a rough estimate, it'll be around a 100 hours in total which will be heaven if the first one is anything to go by. Worth a look just for the story of Michael Imperioli's driving exploits in the pilot
Another show I'll probably never get around to, any good?He's been in The Deuce. He wasn't bad I guess.
Currently watching about one episode a week & yeah, it hasn't aged at all, still as good as it ever was, better maybe in some ways when combining it with podcasts like Talking Sopranos. The show is experiencing a not that unexpected resurgence thanks to covid with a brand new audience discovering it, lucky buggersProbably haven't watched The Sopranos for the best part of a dozen years. I started it again about a month ago and I'm nearly up to the 60 seconds of blackness. I'd forgotten much of it so it's a revelation. Hasn't aged a bit, in fact it looks more like an authentic period piece with the clothing, cars, fashions, and music.
The show will be held up as the standard for TV series for many generations.
What has struck in the podcasts so far is that Imperioli's knowledge of the industry is unbelievable, like a walking encyclopedia.I watched this one last night when I couldn't sleep, so ******* good.

He is really impressive in this. Seems to know absolutely everyone in the industry and what they've worked on. I did give up on the podcast though because I just got sick of Steve constantly talking over the top of everyone. Did they end up sorting that out?What has struck in the podcasts so far is that Imperioli's knowledge of the industry is unbelievable, like a walking encyclopedia.
Yeah he has settled down, if anything it's now Michael cutting in over Steve, which is always a good thingHe is really impressive in this.

I love Paulie's simple outlook on life. Like that scene when he goes to visit Christopher who's upset because he doesn't have an arc or an identity.Paulie Walnuts as biblical scholar.

Thanks for posting. I’m on my third or fourth rewatch and really enjoying watching an episode and then reading the write-up. I did the same thing a couple years ago, but with the AV Club. I think this website is better. Some of his insights are brilliant.![]()
Great website if you want to get into each episode a little (or a lot) deeper. The last time I watched The Sop's (a couple years ago), I would go read the episode breakdown then watch it, was really enjoyable, expanded my appreciation for the series even more. At that time though the website creator had only just started on season 5 & I see now he's well into the last season & with the work he puts in, it's understandable it's taking so long.

Which doco?That doco should be appearing today?
More a regional thing among Italian Americans from different areas. It's common in Jersey to call it gravy, but I think in New York it's referred to as sauce.Why do they call tomato sauce gravy? American thing?
