Bosco685 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 For anyone that is a fan of the show, Christopher (Michael Imperioli) and Bobby (Steve Schirripa) started a show this year to cover each episode. Including behind-the-scenes details about casting, production and sets. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentbryan Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Really enjoying this podcast. Michael and Steve are doing a great job with it. I hope they get David Chase on soon (sounds like he has already agreed to come on). Definitely check it out if you watched the show.

He did a podcast where it finally came out what took place with the Russian that Paulie Walnuts and Christopher attempted to hunt down.

Considered a Top 10 episode Whoa. I don’t think I’m ready to know yet. Pine Barrens is easily my all-time favorite episode. The comedy of errors throughout is priceless. I was pretty bummed they just let that entire thread go but I made my peace with it. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considered a Top 10 episode I'm not real familiar with The Sopranos as I've never had HBO consistently and don't plan on getting HBO Max. I do know Pine Barrens is considered one of the best episodes. My question is, why didn't the Russian finish taking out Chris and Paulie with the shovel? He had them on the ground. It would have been consistent with the Russian's character to keep beating on them rather than drop the shovel and run like some dips**t in a b-horror movie. Things like that take me out of a story. I remember watching one or two episodes of Sopranos and it reminding me of Goodfellas meets Married With Children but not as good as either.

They had the Russian taped up in the trunk the entire ride. So just thinking that through, his arms may have been numb as heck from that ride. But I doubt they added that level of details in any descriptions. As far as Sopranos not being equal to Goodfellas or Married With Children, you really have some wild rationale with your likes not always set in reality. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Quote Alec Baldwin — like every other actor in town — wanted a piece of The Sopranos during the run of the iconic HBO mob series, and he even asked the production if he could play a vital character. A superfan of the award-winning show, Baldwin on Sunday joined Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) and Steve Schirripa (Robert “Bobby” Baccalieri Jr.) on their podcast, Talking Sopranos. There, the film and television star revealed that he made a play to get on the show, which neither of the series actors was aware occurred. “I called up whoever it was, I forget, and said, ‘Tell them when it’s time to kill Jimmy [James Gandolfini who played Tony Soprano] — this was early in the beginning before you get to the end — there is only one man who should whack Jimmy and ride off with Edie [Falco who played Carmela Soprano], and I am that man,” Baldwin said. “I am the guy who needs to blow Jimmy away and take Edie, who I am madly in love with, away. And they were like, ‘Uh-huh. Sure. Great, We’ll add your name to the list of all the Irish actors who think they should be on The Sopranos.” bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Quote The Sopranos creator David Chase criticized streaming executives in a new interview, suggesting they’re collectively making the medium less sophisticated. Speaking to The Times U.K., the Emmy-winning writer-producer claims TV quality is going backwards, becoming more like when he first disrupted the industry with HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999. Chase declared his iconic hit’s 25th anniversary should be “a funeral” for the industry instead of a celebration. “We’re going back to where I was,” he said. “They’re going to have commercials [on streamers like Prime Video].” Chase said he recently tried to get to a project made about a high-end escort and was “told to dumb it down.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
