Which is very interesting for a number of reasons, particularly that Janice remarked during the first episode of Season 6 while she was sitting by the lake with Carmella that she was like her father and Tony was like their mother. Both Janice and Tony bekieve that they're different from their mother and view themselves as being their father's children when, in reality, they're both a lot like Livia.
The guy who denied the permit to Pine Barrens said the show was offensive and stereotyping Italian-Americans such as himself. Later he was found out to be actually corrupt. It is like poetry.
Well, in his defense, if Tony Soprano could approve permits, and was approached by a TV show about mobsters, he would’ve said the same thing 😂. Criminals are an interesting breed.
Awesome catch, Steve S. asked one of the writers on the show. What’s up with all the eggs referencing? He said it didn’t mean anything but maybe it was subconsciously written.
Observations that my son and I have noticed while watching the whole series again together. 1. The title of the episode is always said verbally somewhere in the show. 2. Whenever EGGS appear on the show .. it is proceeded about a minute later with tragedy. 3. Did anyone else think that the wooded, foresty area where Adriana got killed by Sil would later be revealed as the SAME area where Carm was building her spec house? My imagination could see them breaking ground on a completely new re-build and Adie's skull falling from the bulldozer's scoop ... 4. Anthony never struck me as varsity material.
ya, i thought that too about number 3 when i first watched the show. But i kind of like that about about the Sopranos. Not everything is a crazy coincidence and everything doesn't have to tie together and fit perfectly. It gives it a more realistic feel. In real life something like that would almost never happen but in movies/tv shows, its so common that we both (and others, i've heard ppl talk about it before) expected it.
Wow number 3 is a beast. I always wondered if there was ever a way that Tony's family could ever find out that he had Adriana and Christopher killed and there it is. Holy shit. That's the Sopranos series I would like to see. All truth being revealed and watching how everyone reacts.
My favorite thing about the pine barrens episode is that the Nathan’s bag they find in the truck says “75th anniversary” on it. Nathan’s celebrated their 75th anniversary in 1991. This means that the ketchup and relish they found in the truck had been there for like, ten years. A subtle detail, but I believe it was done intentionally.
Favorite Sopranos quote : “You steer the ship the best way you know. Sometimes it’s smooth. Sometimes you hit the rocks. In the meantime, you find your pleasures where you can.” -Junior Soprano Just finished watching all of your sopranologs, it really got me relive the series experience, and realize what an incredible show it is. You really did a great job reviewing the show, thank you ! omri simhi
My favorite joke in the Sopranos was that scene at the end of Season 4 where Tony and Carmella are talking to the kids about their divorce. But when Tony enters the scene with the duffel bag he goes "I just gotta grab a few things" and then walks to the fridge and starts filling the bag with food. Fucking hilarious
Another hilarious one is when he brings the pizza, argues with Carm and leaves the pizza. Slams the door, then comes back to grab the pizza. He really is an eater.
I honestly always thought Adriana was Adriana when she was a hostess at that other restaurant in season 1 because she was then a hostess at Artie’s restaurant. Makes sense that she’d go for a different job, that Chris probably hooked her up with 🤷🏽♀️
Yes, but she really doesn't look like Adriana. Her hair is simple and pulled back and she's wearing a simple black dress, very different from how the character would dress after the pilot. She is also credited only as "Hostess" in that episode.
@@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj178 I know but, I noticed that she was the same person and thought it made sense and that they did that on purpose. When she wasn’t dating Chris and was just a cute hostess, she would dress like a cute hostess with hair pulled back. It makes sense that her look changes when she is dating a guy who funds her salon appointments every week and gives her Armani dresses and Manila Blahniks. I really thought at the time it was what they now call “Easter eggs”
My favorite missed detail is how in Soprano Home Movies, in the start of the second half of Season 6. It really shows the degradation back to Tony of Season 1 and one of the things that sets it off is hearing Bobby’s kids singing “4 little ducks went out one day over the hills and far away” Absolutely unreal amount of small details that mean so much.
Few of my favourites; in “Fortunate Son” (S3E3) during the flashback scene when Johnny Boy and a young Junior walk into Satriale’s to make the collection the old man sitting behind the counter watching the tv is actually played by James Gandolfini’s father. Also in the final scene look at the Journey song on the jukebox that would have played after “Don’t Stop Believing” ...Any Way You Want It 😉
No, that was not a fat suit on Ginny Sack. Denise Borino-Quinn, the actress who portrayed Ginny, really did struggle with her weight. She finally got her stomach stapled after the series ended in 2007, losing nearly 200 pounds prior to tragically dying from liver cancer in 2010.
For a guy who didn’t grow up watching,discussing and rewatching The Sopranos for decades, you definitely cover a lot of territory and manage to point out new interesting things. Your an old school guy, very allegorical.
From a Korean guy who lives in Japan. It is for youtube’s recommendation of your video - that I delved into your videos and truly glorious saga(literally!) of the Sopranos. Now Ive watched the series so many times that currently I can claim to be a part of Soprano fanbase, the truly and rarely great one. In the East Asia, many are of ‘after Breaking bad’ generation - so I thank you again. In my opinion, what makes any piece of art great is the complexity of life and problems /sadness entailed in having a family(in other words, the inevitble and the precious). In these regards, The sopranos wont be surpassed any time soon. Enough for the preaambles, And regarding to your Breaking Bad pieces, i see you are doing excellent on those monumetal TV series as well. Again, much thanks to you, Pure Kino. You are a good kid! P.S. Personally I have a stroing feeling that Phil Leotardo was incarerated in prison at some point of his life without a peep. Maybe far-fetched, but not imposible
Sucks that IBS tormented Adriana the Hostess w the mostest 🤭 poor little lamb that Ade she just couldnt shake Chrissy 💔 anyway I was gna mention that Christopher shouldn't have mocked Agent Harris about that parasite from diarrhea-stan stupid fu*ker 🤣
@@pelinalwhitestrake9306 well when she's flashing her beauty at us in the pilot @ the restaurant where Tony' flexing 4 Dr Melfi 😆💪, she's not Adriana quite yet. The script prob defined Drea DeMatteo sp? as the hostess.
That always got me that the actor who played Vito first showed up as a big guy in the pastry shop who Christopher tells to come back later so he can shoot the kid behind the counter, yet then he shows up again in the next season as a main character as Vito. Kind of like the actress S. Erpatha Merkerson who played a cleaning lady on Law & Order before coming back later as the Lieutenant in so many episodes.
Vito wanted those holes, but he was always a come from behind kinda guy. He knew he couldn't take Chrissy while looking him in the eye - and Chrissy always knew it too.
When I was 17 my parents sent me to rehab I’m 31 now and five years sober but I went ro rehab when I was 17 I was in rehab with mike k Williams I never watched the wire at that age and had no idea who he was THE ENTIRE rehab was murmuring about him talking about how amazing he was and he truly was he made a point to talk to EVERYONE he was dressed so cool he even had these tall African beaded boots that stick out specifically as being dope. But the most awesome thing he did was that at the end when you “graduate” they let you make a speech and tell your story to the group and I heard his entire life story and at the end he acapellad dear momma by Tupac I’ll never forget it dude
This is super esoteric, but here goes: You remember the scene from the episode "Live Free or Die," when the highway worker hears Vito's cell phone ringing, picks it up out of the grass, talks to Tony and then throws the phone under a steamroller? The highway worker is wearing a dark blue ball cap with a USA logo on the front. In the last scene of the final episode, a man dressed like a trucker walks into Holsten's and is briefly shown seated at a table, pouring sugar into a cup of coffee. He is wearing what appears to be the exact same USA hat.
It was the Italian food: Pussy says he had a touch of diarrhea, and he didn't eat the Indian food. Artie is just a bullshitter. (Which we already knew.)
I always was confused about this. I just rewatched recently and the mussels come undigested or whatever, but Tony’s doctor says it couldn’t be the Indian food cause of how it was cooked. Was that like a joke? I didn’t get which one actually made him sick
This is a small but weird detail i noticed. In season 1 episode 3 at the end of the episode tony sits down and plays mario kart 64 with aj. The thing I noticed is that aj played as mario and tony played as luigi. even though no one used him you can continuously hear the wario character making his sounds. specifically saying the phrase "Im a wario Im a gonna win" multiple times as they played
and I haven't seen anyone pointing this out, Tony was playing with one hand, you need one hand to steer and the other to accelerate, he was just steering lol
I commented this on the Test Dream video, but in the episode, Valentina starts a fire while cooking. Livia does the same thing in one of the first episodes (though unfortunately didn't light herself on fire). Yet another demonstration of how Tony likes women similar to Livia
@@faisalkamal4319 Hey Roe...remember your dead son? Jackie? Shot by drug dealers right? He was murdered, how does that make you feel? That your son was brutally killed by drug dealers...jeez Roe I am so sorry thank god AJ is just a loser and not a drug dealer..Row it must be so tough
We should talk about the Sopranos swimming pool. The ducks it was home to, which gave Tony joy. When Tony and Carm about to make up, they get it together in the pool. When she renegs, Carm has the pool drained. Patsy Parisi pisses in the pool as the only form of revenge he can bring himself to get for his brothers killing. AJ's suicide attempt. Followed by Tony once again draining the pool (he tells Janice it's because of the cost, but this was immediately after AJ's attempt) When Tony is recovering from his gunshot and he's sitting by the pool and the heating system sounds unhealthy, Tony looks at it and beats it and it dies (I think) Kevin Finnerty sold bad heating systems) Tony Uncle Al - Carmela lets cousin Tony bring his kids to use the pool, his kids destroy property in the pool and generally make a mess of things - much like Tony B causes a big mess for Tony S When Janice first shows up, she and Tony smoke by the pool and dip their feet. Janice 'cons' Tony for some money to get Lyvia's car up fixed up,, she takes the money and the camera cuts to the pool filter sucking debris from the bottom of the pool - Janice the vacuum
At 14:05 you could make a case for Buscemi wearing that 80s suit. That style & colors are easily identified from Miami Vice that in episode "El Viejo" in 1986, Buscemi actually started his first big acting role.
Here's something I bet no one caught... Not sure if they did this on purpose or not. In the pilot episode, they show a quick shot of a hospital from the outside. That hospital is in Portland, OR. In the episode where Carmine Lupertazzi Sr has a stroke (or heart attack... I don't remember which). John is on the phone telling someone (I believe it's Carmine Jr) what happened he says that he's, "over at St Vincents". The hospital name in Portland, Oregon is St Vincents... Not sure if they did that on purpose but I think there may be a relation.
Here's one everyone misses. In the "You would know, sweetie" scene - Eugene hits little Paulie with the bottle with his left hand to the right eye, but we next see Paulie on the ground holding his left eye.....and then a few shots later he's holding his right eye. These little continuity glitches are everywhere throughout the series
I always wondered why It was that when Christopher roughed up little Paulie and threw him out the window, Paulie Walnuts took great offense to it and drove all over Chrissie’s yard totally trashing the landscaping. Then when Eugene hit little Paulie in the face with the Snapple bottle, that was basically the end of it. No response at all from Paulie Walnuts. Eugene and Chrissie were made at the same time, so it’s not like Eugene had all this seniority over Chrissie or was more highly regarded in the family in any significant way. Granted, Paulie W. and Christopher had issues throughout the whole show, so maybe it just pissed Paulie off more when it involved Chrissie? Always wondered about that though. Any ideas?
@@colinschafer5453 Yeah I think your theory is correct. I think paulie just didn't like Chris because of how he was trying to jump the gun on his ranks. Also could be jealousy as he is shown in the show idolizing Tony (like in the horse painting) and Chris spends the most time with him.
Good point about the Vito scene. I was one of the ones that like the scene. I think that they really wanted to convey that sense of hopelessness that a dead-end job/life creates. I agree the narration is odd and jarring, and out of place, but I'm not sure there's a better way to get that idea across. Maybe a scene with him complaining to Johnny Cakes, but he was trying to put up a front as if he was totally happy and satisfied with the life he and Mr. Cakes were building together, when we know he actually truly missed "this thing". It would have also ruined the scene of Johnny Cakes waking up to find "Vince" gone, stuff gone, and a dry spot where his 'Lac was parked.
The priest as well as Irina are also different people in the pilot. Irina is a blonde. You’re right about the communion wine. This is why the priest wipes out the cup after the last sip is taken. Not even a drop of the blood of Christ can be wasted or left in the cup. Good catch about the food poisoning from Italian food!
Back in the day the wine we used for mass was pretty gross. I tasted a little bit when I was an altar boy. If you spilled it, it would dry and get really sticky.
When Tony throws the gun in the snow you can clearly see it is a Beretta. The grip shape is quite clear as it flies through the air, and you can also see the imprint of the hammer in the snow. Glocks are striker fire pistols not hammer fire.
I’m so glad you followed up on this series. Don’t feel bad. The seasoned vets have watched this series numerous times with things still getting noticed. As always, great editing. Glad to see u back brother.
Not sure if you covered it in your first reviews but the episode where tony runs Phil leatardo off the road(can’t remember the name of the episode) Rock the casbah is blasting in Tony’s car this is a play on the fact tony always says Phil looks like the shah of Iran and rock the casbah is a song about the king of Iran banning western rock music. Idk why but this is one of my favorite symbolisms not just in the sopranos but any piece of cinema, once I learned what that song was about that scene instantly became 10x funnier
When Sil is driving Ade out to the woods Barracuda by Heart is playing in the car. The second verse of the song goes... You lying so low in the weeds I bet you gonna ambush me You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh
I just read about the origin of the lyrics. The ban on western music in Iran was imposed after the revolution by the clerics, not by the Shah (=king). So Phil, the Shah, being attacked is not consistent with the lyrics because the song is about defying the clergy who banned the music. I think they just picked it because it’s a banging track.
@@thejahanshow I don’t think the literal lyrics of the song need to match up with the exact scene. Tony regularly refers to him as the sha of Iran and the song is about Iran that’s enough for me
@@joereilly8890 Actually the Shah didn't ban rock, the Ayatollha Khomeini banned all music. As in The Ayatollha of Rock and Roll-a. I agree the song was reference enough.
Long before "bodie" was on the wire he was on another HBO production called "OZ" which was a drama based prison series. Edie Falco was also in it,was actually a pretty decent show
Oz was the beginning of the HBO trifecta. I felt Oz, Sopranos and the Wire was like HBO’s holy Trinity which made them the name they are today. Showtime still hasn’t had a hot streak like that till this day
The Springsteen connection creates one of those "same universe" questions that always puzzle me. Does Silvio have a doppelgänger in the E Street Band, or does the E Street Band have a different lead guitarist?
The Sunday dinner scenes always brought me back to my childhood on Sundays. We only ate breakfast and an early dinner, around 3pm. It was always macaroni.
One thing no one ever mentions is the scene when Sylvio is first introduced. He's greeted by Tony and the crew when he walks by "Centannis" on the sidewalk. Everyone is all surprised that Sylvio bumps into them outside. Sylvio says..."Gabriella sends me here to get some gabbagool". Why would she send him there if that's a regular hangout for the Soprano crew?
Its a regular hannout but its not like he lives there lol, sil works at the bada bing and frequents the deli but he could still just swing by for an errand. Its a hangout but its also an actual deli so it makes sense, i worked at a grocery store and sometimes on my day off i had to swing by and pick something up and id see coworkers and they would be like "hey! What are you doing here" even though i had just been there the day before
@@pizzalunch382 The time Tony got home after getting rid of Ritchie's corpse, Tony says to Carmella..."After 13 years of marriage, don't make me make you an accessory after the fact". But AJ was playing senior football, and Meadow was graduating high school that same year.
@@danielesposito8280 Turn up your hearing aid, or else you're going to miss it....search YT.... " Tony Tells Carmela That Richie Aprile Is No Longer Alive - The Sopranos HD ".
Since you mentioned the episode where Christopher shoots the Clerk in the foot in the Bakery, There is another "Something" with that Scene. The other customer that came into the Bakery after Christopher and was going to be "Served" first wa played by the same Actor that ended up playing Vito Spatafor.
14:10 Weird that season five episode 1 is called two Tony's when it's just a small comment he makes to Melfi, while episode 2 is when we meet Tony B. His suit is the classic Don Johnson, Miami Vice outfit which is another show that has a lot of crossovers with the Sopranos.
Here's something u all missed. Paulie's real position in everything. Blue Comet told it all. From him arguing with Bobby to Sil and Tony gettin hit. Also. Paulie was the main one talkin bout John's wife in satriales way before ralph. He actually walked up on them when they played it off.
I literally had Vito style narration in my head, like almost that exact same scene I've experienced working in a hardware store as a teenager. I would run down the list of all the things I had done, noticed the amount of people in the store pointing to it being close to lunch, told myself not to check my phone to save the moment, do some more tasks, telling myself that a lot of time must have passed by now, give myself a moment to finally check the time in order to get the pleasant surprise that it is almost lunch time and the day is already halfway done, and it would be like 10:15.
You missed an important bit of symbolism! It’s not just that ducks symbolize fear of losing family in that episode. The shot meant to kill Tony explodes the orange juice he bought. Tony argued with his wife about pulp orange juice
I'm Polish and I have to say that Liliana (the Sopranos maid in the first season) and her husband, spoke gibberish that only vaguely resembled the Polish language. Makes me laugh everytime I watch it.
Something to add - when the cop gives tony the ticket, his unform says he is with the cedar grove police dept, but the toys r us he’s stopped in front of is on highway 46 west in Totowa, about a minute away from former Fountains of Wayne. The toys r us was a real location that is now replaced with Marshalls.
There were other references to Springsteen and Van Zandt. At least twice they played Van Zandt s music in the background. One was Gloria dancing to it and Tony puts it down. The other was in the Crazy Horse and Silvio alerts the others that it's on.
Thanks so much for this Kino!!! I really needed it!! Best Sopranos content since u did your series recaps, and many saints works. Really... this made my day. Ty bro!!
Kino, Bravo to you! You are a keenly insightful and very thorough Sopranos fan. Thank you very much for your videos. They are probably the best Sopranos content on the internet.
The bakery guy that Chris shoots in the foot.. back when Vito is called “Gino” lol... is the same actor that plays Agent Knox in Boardwalk Empire. Took me forever personally to notice that. He did an amazing job as Agent Knox in Boardwalk. Great actor. Seems like getting shot in the foot in a mob movie or show is a good luck charm for actors careers.
I always wondered why It was that when Christopher roughed up little Paulie and threw him out the window, Paulie Walnuts took great offense to it and drove all over Chrissie’s yard totally trashing the landscaping.

Granted, Paulie W. and Christopher had issues throughout the whole show, so maybe it just pissed Paulie off more when it involved Chrissie? Always wondered about that though. Any ideas?
I wonder if Eugene was known to be more violent and would fight back hard if Paulie retaliated. But everyone knew Chris was kind of door mat and Paulie knew nothing would be done.
I think he knows that for close relationship between Tony and Chris would give him major leeway considering his own close relationship with Tony. Eugene might just retaliate financially or physically.
Tony’s first scene with Christopher is also mirrored in their last scene together- Chris is wearing a hat and driving while Tony sits in the passenger seat. Aside from when he’s in disguise- it’s the only two times in the series Chris wears a hat
@@lpr5269 I lied- there’s a flashback scene from season 3 ep 10 where a young Christopher is wearing a hat. The scene where Big Pussy is dressed as Santa Claus and Chris gives him an ashtray.
Fair point. It was kind of a sloppy way to get the poem to the audience, but I guess they thought it would be weirder for AJ to be reading to poem out loud to himself
In the Talking Sopranos podcast, they were basically saying everything in the script was intentional, if somebody was eating a bag of chips it wasn't just a random bag, it had a purpose.
Since you're talking about missing details it made me up my game watching this video and i just noticed that the broken skin on Tony's knuckles was from that guy he beat up earlier. Also I read that after the first episode Jamie-Lynn Sigler had a nose job so that's something to look out for in episode two and the rest of the season.
Interesting, I thought she had work done on her nose (obvious work) In season 6 episode 1. She lost weight as well so maybe that added to it. But definitely had work done. She’s beautiful either way. Not necessary
Another great upload, Kino! A few of my observations: - Thank goodness Chase didn't stick with the hyper-saturated, washed out look of the pilot. The visual style of the episodes literally gets darker from season to season, as a visual metaphor for Tony's soul - The notion of "moving to Reno" - Tony often bellyaches about what he would be doing if he gave up mob life. Sell patio furniture in Arizona? Funny enough, in his near death coma experience, he's a salesman living in Kingman, Arizona. - No observation, but "introduced the coffee pot to Beansie's face" made me lol. Incidentally, my favorite line in the series is: "Veal parmesan sandwich? Fuck you." The delivery is just so sinister, making a laughable line a legit threat. My second favorite line is from Furio: "Stupid-a facking game." The next would probably be Tony shouting "Conserve!" after giving Georgie yet another beatdown. - In the "Pine Barrons" episode, not only is the actor playing Bobby *holding* a dildo (off-camera) to make Gandolfini laugh, he's *wearing* a black strap on dildo. - On Paulie seeing the Virgin Mary in the Bada Bing, I choose to believe this really happened and wasn't just something Paulie made up. We see the visual from a third person perspective (high angle), and not through the viewpoint of Paulie's line of vision. Besides, why would Paulie lie to Tony about this experience, unless it was something profound? I personally love the supernatural elements of the show (ghosts, dream sequences, Tony' alternative reality Kevin Finnerty in the coma world, Christopher visiting Hell). - Finally, "the sacred and the propane" is such a killer malapropism. People misspeak and mix up words all the time in real life, and The Sopranos does such an excellent job of capturing this, and playing it for laughs.
@@haphapp7282 dude..taste doesn't discriminate and since Pet Cemetery was on TV when I was an 8y.o, impressionable kid who's brain had only begun to form.. some connections Stay with you or maybe it's that both narrations In each film gives it a creepy environmental tragic ", why me", etc vibes. I'd watch a horror film by David chase bc he def knows what ppl want. Sopranos had some terrifyingly human scenes. As did breaking bad whenever the sun went down
Fun fact the boonton projects where micheal k was in is actually not in boonton, it’s the north side of Paterson right up the street from river view towers where I grew up in for the first couple years of my life . Still a shitty place to be.
Kino, I've been watching sopranos since I was 14 and I feel like you killed every recap you've done with the series. That being said I absolutely love that your thorough enough to go back some episodes and go even further with the episodes. Much respect and keep up the great work...Would love to see you go threw Sons of anarchy and breaking bad
Happy Wanderer was also a travel show in the “60s” . The German song “ Happy Wanderer” was used as the intro to the show and also background music through out the show. The show was a travel log for an older couple with a pickup and I believe a trailer that traveled from town to town. Almost like a format for today’s TH-cam.

Apologies if this has already been pointed out (I only went through the last 50 posts to check), wine as a religious tool is normally with a priest. Most priests keep it in their back pocket in case of an emergency. Chances are father Phil had his wine as a back up for last rites (as most priests do) before everything got a bit hot and heavy 😀
I think one of the details you missed was that Phil did 20 years in the can, don't worry it's easy to miss
Yea right. I think you're wrong about that one. It was never mentioned ONCE in the series.
And Phil never snitched, or got bent into a fanook.
And ate grilled cheese off the radiator
Phil...served time!? How did you deduce that I found him very closed off and tight lipped.
He compromised
One detail is that Janice's kid tries to run away and change his name just like Janice did to Livia.(Implying that Janice is exactly like her mother.)
Which is very interesting for a number of reasons, particularly that Janice remarked during the first episode of Season 6 while she was sitting by the lake with Carmella that she was like her father and Tony was like their mother. Both Janice and Tony bekieve that they're different from their mother and view themselves as being their father's children when, in reality, they're both a lot like Livia.
Wow nice catch
Oh wow. Thats cool.
I just read this yesterday but in Janice’s final scene in season 6 she tells Tony that she is a good mother, just like Livia
It’s not even implied, but rather shown that Janice is exactly like her mother and Tony is very similar to Livia too
The guy who denied the permit to Pine Barrens said the show was offensive and stereotyping Italian-Americans such as himself. Later he was found out to be actually corrupt. It is like poetry.

Making a legitimate businessman do a perp walk!
Typical bureaucrat on a power trip. Now he's famous for being an A-hole. Maybe more, from what I read in this thread.

It's mentioned that he did 20 years on racketeering charges.

@@supersaiyanzero386 yes, yes I will

Very allegorical.
The scrambled and the propane
Awesome catch, Steve S. asked one of the writers on the show. What’s up with all the eggs referencing? He said it didn’t mean anything but maybe it was subconsciously written.

My favorite thing about the pine barrens episode is that the Nathan’s bag they find in the truck says “75th anniversary” on it. Nathan’s celebrated their 75th anniversary in 1991. This means that the ketchup and relish they found in the truck had been there for like, ten years. A subtle detail, but I believe it was done intentionally.
That's hilarious, I never noticed that before. 🤣

“You steer the ship the best way you know. Sometimes it’s smooth. Sometimes you hit the rocks. In the meantime, you find your pleasures where you can.” -Junior Soprano
Just finished watching all of your sopranologs, it really got me relive the series experience, and realize what an incredible show it is.
You really did a great job reviewing the show, thank you !
omri simhi
My favorite joke in the Sopranos was that scene at the end of Season 4 where Tony and Carmella are talking to the kids about their divorce. But when Tony enters the scene with the duffel bag he goes "I just gotta grab a few things" and then walks to the fridge and starts filling the bag with food. Fucking hilarious
He filled it with gabagool

Another hilarious one is when he brings the pizza, argues with Carm and leaves the pizza. Slams the door, then comes back to grab the pizza. He really is an eater.

I honestly always thought Adriana was Adriana when she was a hostess at that other restaurant in season 1 because she was then a hostess at Artie’s restaurant. Makes sense that she’d go for a different job, that Chris probably hooked her up with 🤷🏽♀️
Same, i always figured it was just adriana lol i thought it was cool to have a main character kind of on the side when a scene wasnt about them.
Same
Right? Same here
Yes, but she really doesn't look like Adriana. Her hair is simple and pulled back and she's wearing a simple black dress, very different from how the character would dress after the pilot. She is also credited only as "Hostess" in that episode.
@@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj178 I know but, I noticed that she was the same person and thought it made sense and that they did that on purpose. When she wasn’t dating Chris and was just a cute hostess, she would dress like a cute hostess with hair pulled back. It makes sense that her look changes when she is dating a guy who funds her salon appointments every week and gives her Armani dresses and Manila Blahniks.
I really thought at the time it was what they now call “Easter eggs”

My favorite missed detail is how in Soprano Home Movies, in the start of the second half of Season 6. It really shows the degradation back to Tony of Season 1 and one of the things that sets it off is hearing Bobby’s kids singing “4 little ducks went out one day over the hills and far away”
Absolutely unreal amount of small details that mean so much.
And of course it's on the verse of FOUR ducks! One duck for each Soprano!
Tony really did waste every insight he ever made. He just wanted to complain and not change.
You won my respect by not being offended by your audience corrections, you made a video correcting these errors! Good job
"sugarsugar" checks out as a professional dong slobber.
Few of my favourites; in “Fortunate Son” (S3E3) during the flashback scene when Johnny Boy and a young Junior walk into Satriale’s to make the collection the old man sitting behind the counter watching the tv is actually played by James Gandolfini’s father.
Also in the final scene look at the Journey song on the jukebox that would have played after “Don’t Stop Believing”
...Any Way You Want It 😉
Oh shit. That's brilliant. I love dissecting this show. There's never been anything like it.
David Chase said that was totally unintentional! Melfi would say his subconscious put it there though.
"Any way you want it"? What's the meaning of that?
@@ispeakmytruth1549 i’m taking it as “take the meaning of this ending any way you want it”
Woah that jukebox hint is really cool
No, that was not a fat suit on Ginny Sack. Denise Borino-Quinn, the actress who portrayed Ginny, really did struggle with her weight. She finally got her stomach stapled after the series ended in 2007, losing nearly 200 pounds prior to tragically dying from liver cancer in 2010.
For a guy who didn’t grow up watching,discussing and rewatching The Sopranos for decades, you definitely cover a lot of territory and manage to point out new interesting things. Your an old school guy, very allegorical.
One detail you missed: Not only does Chris take Ritchie piece-by-piece, he does it for hitting a woman who isn’t his wife.
From a Korean guy who lives in Japan. It is for youtube’s recommendation of your video - that I delved into your videos and truly glorious saga(literally!) of the Sopranos.
Now Ive watched the series so many times that currently I can claim to be a part of Soprano fanbase, the truly and rarely great one. In the East Asia, many are of ‘after Breaking bad’ generation - so I thank you again.
In my opinion, what makes any piece of art great is the complexity of life and problems /sadness entailed in having a family(in other words, the inevitble and the precious). In these regards, The sopranos wont be surpassed any time soon.
Enough for the preaambles, And regarding to your Breaking Bad pieces, i see you are doing excellent on those monumetal TV series as well. Again, much thanks to you, Pure Kino. You are a good kid!
P.S. Personally I have a stroing feeling that Phil Leotardo was incarerated in prison at some point of his life without a peep. Maybe far-fetched, but not imposible
Thank you! Always nice to see international viewers!
huh, i always thought Drea being the waitress was just her as Adrianna working there like she did for Artie
Sucks that IBS tormented Adriana the Hostess w the mostest 🤭 poor little lamb that Ade she just couldnt shake Chrissy 💔 anyway I was gna mention that Christopher shouldn't have mocked Agent Harris about that parasite from diarrhea-stan stupid fu*ker 🤣
Wtf it's not??
@@pelinalwhitestrake9306 well when she's flashing her beauty at us in the pilot @ the restaurant where Tony' flexing 4 Dr Melfi 😆💪, she's not Adriana quite yet. The script prob defined Drea DeMatteo sp? as the hostess.

Michael K. Williams was also cast in "Boardwalk Empire" and did a terrific job with the role of Chalky White.
"I ain't buildin' no bookcase."
"What's motherfucker mean!?" 😂😂😂😂
That always got me that the actor who played Vito first showed up as a big guy in the pastry shop who Christopher tells to come back later so he can shoot the kid behind the counter, yet then he shows up again in the next season as a main character as Vito. Kind of like the actress S. Erpatha Merkerson who played a cleaning lady on Law & Order before coming back later as the Lieutenant in so many episodes.
Take a walk
I remember thinking that guy looked just like Vito but must have been a coincidence
Law & Order also had Jerry Orbach play a corrupt defense attorney before casting him as Detective Lenny Briscoe
Vito wanted those holes, but he was always a come from behind kinda guy. He knew he couldn't take Chrissy while looking him in the eye - and Chrissy always knew it too.
That was Gino, Vito Spatafore's cousin.
When I was 17 my parents sent me to rehab I’m 31 now and five years sober but I went ro rehab when I was 17 I was in rehab with mike k Williams I never watched the wire at that age and had no idea who he was THE ENTIRE rehab was murmuring about him talking about how amazing he was and he truly was he made a point to talk to EVERYONE he was dressed so cool he even had these tall African beaded boots that stick out specifically as being dope. But the most awesome thing he did was that at the end when you “graduate” they let you make a speech and tell your story to the group and I heard his entire life story and at the end he acapellad dear momma by Tupac I’ll never forget it dude
"Remember... I'm Asian..." my favorite part of the video 🤣🤣
That's not funny, that's terminal.
did you hear the one about the Chinese Godfather?
This is super esoteric, but here goes:
You remember the scene from the episode "Live Free or Die," when the highway worker hears Vito's cell phone ringing, picks it up out of the grass, talks to Tony and then throws the phone under a steamroller? The highway worker is wearing a dark blue ball cap with a USA logo on the front.
In the last scene of the final episode, a man dressed like a trucker walks into Holsten's and is briefly shown seated at a table, pouring sugar into a cup of coffee. He is wearing what appears to be the exact same USA hat.
lol r u deadass wtf
Yeah so the random trucker on the highway killed him?
I thought Tony wasn’t poisoned by Italian food, but by Indian food? The mussels came up undigested, how could they be the cause? Artie felt vindicated
Yup - Tony ate Indian food before going to Artie's and Artie blames Tony's food poisoning on ghee, clarified butter used in Indian cooking
@@carlbergevin8376probably Indian hygiene rather than the ghee lol
It was the Italian food: Pussy says he had a touch of diarrhea, and he didn't eat the Indian food. Artie is just a bullshitter. (Which we already knew.)
I always was confused about this. I just rewatched recently and the mussels come undigested or whatever, but Tony’s doctor says it couldn’t be the Indian food cause of how it was cooked. Was that like a joke? I didn’t get which one actually made him sick
@@anon2427 I mean tony ate Indian food from a restaurant. If hygiene was bad then every food would be bad not just the Indian one

This is a small but weird detail i noticed. In season 1 episode 3 at the end of the episode tony sits down and plays mario kart 64 with aj. The thing I noticed is that aj played as mario and tony played as luigi. even though no one used him you can continuously hear the wario character making his sounds. specifically saying the phrase "Im a wario Im a gonna win" multiple times as they played
Chase probably didn't care enough to get the mario kart 64 sounds correct lol
and I haven't seen anyone pointing this out, Tony was playing with one hand, you need one hand to steer and the other to accelerate, he was just steering lol
I commented this on the Test Dream video, but in the episode, Valentina starts a fire while cooking. Livia does the same thing in one of the first episodes (though unfortunately didn't light herself on fire). Yet another demonstration of how Tony likes women similar to Livia
Even Carmella was like sort of Livia in the last season
That also ties into the fact she was cooking eggs when she caught fire and almost everyone who was shown cooking or offering eggs met a bad fate
Tony likes fire.
@@CallieMasters5000 no he said no more fires

We should talk about the Sopranos swimming pool.
The ducks it was home to, which gave Tony joy.
When Tony and Carm about to make up, they get it together in the pool.
When she renegs, Carm has the pool drained.
Patsy Parisi pisses in the pool as the only form of revenge he can bring himself to get for his brothers killing.
AJ's suicide attempt. Followed by Tony once again draining the pool (he tells Janice it's because of the cost, but this was immediately after AJ's attempt)
When Tony is recovering from his gunshot and he's sitting by the pool and the heating system sounds unhealthy, Tony looks at it and beats it and it dies (I think) Kevin Finnerty sold bad heating systems)
Tony Uncle Al - Carmela lets cousin Tony bring his kids to use the pool, his kids destroy property in the pool and generally make a mess of things - much like Tony B causes a big mess for Tony S
When Janice first shows up, she and Tony smoke by the pool and dip their feet. Janice 'cons' Tony for some money to get Lyvia's car up fixed up,, she takes the money and the camera cuts to the pool filter sucking debris from the bottom of the pool - Janice the vacuum
Very allegorical

Anyone notice Tomy staring at that volcano? Made me think about Christopher wanting to see the volcano in Italy, but never getting around to it.
At 14:05 you could make a case for Buscemi wearing that 80s suit. That style & colors are easily identified from Miami Vice that in episode "El Viejo" in 1986, Buscemi actually started his first big acting role.
Here's something I bet no one caught... Not sure if they did this on purpose or not. In the pilot episode, they show a quick shot of a hospital from the outside. That hospital is in Portland, OR. In the episode where Carmine Lupertazzi Sr has a stroke (or heart attack... I don't remember which). John is on the phone telling someone (I believe it's Carmine Jr) what happened he says that he's, "over at St Vincents". The hospital name in Portland, Oregon is St Vincents... Not sure if they did that on purpose but I think there may be a relation.
I love that the son of Dr Melfi also says at dinner that Goodfellas is a great movie
Amazing detail.
This was done by the writers to show that Goodfellas is, in fact, a very good movie.
(I’m not sure I’m doing this right.)
So morrie died in goodfellas for breaking balls then started breaking tony's balls in sopranos
The guy does he ever stop breaking balls
Don’t belittle yourself by calling yourself not smart you have great analytical skills. Keep making them✊🏼
He didn't pick up on the staple gun being left at the scene.
0:51
Here's one everyone misses. In the "You would know, sweetie" scene - Eugene hits little Paulie with the bottle with his left hand to the right eye, but we next see Paulie on the ground holding his left eye.....and then a few shots later he's holding his right eye. These little continuity glitches are everywhere throughout the series
Well you outta know sweetie
I always wondered why It was that when Christopher roughed up little Paulie and threw him out the window, Paulie Walnuts took great offense to it and drove all over Chrissie’s yard totally trashing the landscaping. Then when Eugene hit little Paulie in the face with the Snapple bottle, that was basically the end of it. No response at all from Paulie Walnuts. Eugene and Chrissie were made at the same time, so it’s not like Eugene had all this seniority over Chrissie or was more highly regarded in the family in any significant way. Granted, Paulie W. and Christopher had issues throughout the whole show, so maybe it just pissed Paulie off more when it involved Chrissie? Always wondered about that though. Any ideas?
@@colinschafer5453 Yeah I think your theory is correct. I think paulie just didn't like Chris because of how he was trying to jump the gun on his ranks. Also could be jealousy as he is shown in the show idolizing Tony (like in the horse painting) and Chris spends the most time with him.
What did he say?
It seems odd they wouldn't keep track of that stuff
Good point about the Vito scene. I was one of the ones that like the scene. I think that they really wanted to convey that sense of hopelessness that a dead-end job/life creates. I agree the narration is odd and jarring, and out of place, but I'm not sure there's a better way to get that idea across. Maybe a scene with him complaining to Johnny Cakes, but he was trying to put up a front as if he was totally happy and satisfied with the life he and Mr. Cakes were building together, when we know he actually truly missed "this thing". It would have also ruined the scene of Johnny Cakes waking up to find "Vince" gone, stuff gone, and a dry spot where his 'Lac was parked.
The priest as well as Irina are also different people in the pilot. Irina is a blonde.
You’re right about the communion wine. This is why the priest wipes out the cup after the last sip is taken. Not even a drop of the blood of Christ can be wasted or left in the cup.
Good catch about the food poisoning from Italian food!
How disgusting.
Back in the day the wine we used for mass was pretty gross. I tasted a little bit when I was an altar boy. If you spilled it, it would dry and get really sticky.
When Tony throws the gun in the snow you can clearly see it is a Beretta. The grip shape is quite clear as it flies through the air, and you can also see the imprint of the hammer in the snow. Glocks are striker fire pistols not hammer fire.
I’m so glad you followed up on this series. Don’t feel bad. The seasoned vets have watched this series numerous times with things still getting noticed. As always, great editing. Glad to see u back brother.
Preston "Bodie" Broadus is the man. What a great character! Shout out to The Wire, "Omar's coming yo!"
Not sure if you covered it in your first reviews but the episode where tony runs Phil leatardo off the road(can’t remember the name of the episode) Rock the casbah is blasting in Tony’s car this is a play on the fact tony always says Phil looks like the shah of Iran and rock the casbah is a song about the king of Iran banning western rock music. Idk why but this is one of my favorite symbolisms not just in the sopranos but any piece of cinema, once I learned what that song was about that scene instantly became 10x funnier
When Sil is driving Ade out to the woods Barracuda by Heart is playing in the car. The second verse of the song goes...
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh
I just read about the origin of the lyrics. The ban on western music in Iran was imposed after the revolution by the clerics, not by the Shah (=king). So Phil, the Shah, being attacked is not consistent with the lyrics because the song is about defying the clergy who banned the music. I think they just picked it because it’s a banging track.
@@thejahanshow I don’t think the literal lyrics of the song need to match up with the exact scene. Tony regularly refers to him as the sha of Iran and the song is about Iran that’s enough for me
@@joereilly8890 Actually the Shah didn't ban rock, the Ayatollha Khomeini banned all music. As in The Ayatollha of Rock and Roll-a.
I agree the song was reference enough.
@@thejahanshow watch the video for the song

Long before "bodie" was on the wire he was on another HBO production called "OZ" which was a drama based prison series. Edie Falco was also in it,was actually a pretty decent show
Oz was the beginning of the HBO trifecta. I felt Oz, Sopranos and the Wire was like HBO’s holy Trinity which made them the name they are today. Showtime still hasn’t had a hot streak like that till this day

One thing no one ever mentions is the scene when Sylvio is first introduced.
He's greeted by Tony and the crew when he walks by "Centannis" on the sidewalk. Everyone is all surprised that Sylvio bumps into them outside.
Sylvio says..."Gabriella sends me here to get some gabbagool". Why would she send him there if that's a regular hangout for the Soprano crew?
Its a regular hannout but its not like he lives there lol, sil works at the bada bing and frequents the deli but he could still just swing by for an errand. Its a hangout but its also an actual deli so it makes sense, i worked at a grocery store and sometimes on my day off i had to swing by and pick something up and id see coworkers and they would be like "hey! What are you doing here" even though i had just been there the day before
Tons of incongruities from the pilot.

14:10 Weird that season five episode 1 is called two Tony's when it's just a small comment he makes to Melfi, while episode 2 is when we meet Tony B. His suit is the classic Don Johnson, Miami Vice outfit which is another show that has a lot of crossovers with the Sopranos.
Here's something u all missed. Paulie's real position in everything. Blue Comet told it all. From him arguing with Bobby to Sil and Tony gettin hit. Also. Paulie was the main one talkin bout John's wife in satriales way before ralph. He actually walked up on them when they played it off.
I literally had Vito style narration in my head, like almost that exact same scene I've experienced working in a hardware store as a teenager. I would run down the list of all the things I had done, noticed the amount of people in the store pointing to it being close to lunch, told myself not to check my phone to save the moment, do some more tasks, telling myself that a lot of time must have passed by now, give myself a moment to finally check the time in order to get the pleasant surprise that it is almost lunch time and the day is already halfway done, and it would be like 10:15.
Now that's dedication Tony Soprano would be proud of.
tony didn't have making of a varsity athelete
Another detail you missed is that Tony never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
You missed an important bit of symbolism! It’s not just that ducks symbolize fear of losing family in that episode. The shot meant to kill Tony explodes the orange juice he bought. Tony argued with his wife about pulp orange juice
godfather reference as well
He likes some pulp

In the episode where tony says ''hi'', it's a reference to a movie scene where someone says ''hi''
I'm Polish and I have to say that Liliana (the Sopranos maid in the first season) and her husband, spoke gibberish that only vaguely resembled the Polish language. Makes me laugh everytime I watch it.

There were other references to Springsteen and Van Zandt. At least twice they played Van Zandt s music in the background. One was Gloria dancing to it and Tony puts it down. The other was in the Crazy Horse and Silvio alerts the others that it's on.
You left out Uncle Philly turning into a house.
Thanks so much for this Kino!!! I really needed it!! Best Sopranos content since u did your series recaps, and many saints works. Really... this made my day. Ty bro!!

Alls I know is.. He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
The bakery guy that Chris shoots in the foot.. back when Vito is called “Gino” lol... is the same actor that plays Agent Knox in Boardwalk Empire. Took me forever personally to notice that. He did an amazing job as Agent Knox in Boardwalk. Great actor. Seems like getting shot in the foot in a mob movie or show is a good luck charm for actors careers.

10:31 another thing you missed is that Tony was driving on Route 46 which is not a state trooper jurisdiction

I wonder if Eugene was known to be more violent and would fight back hard if Paulie retaliated. But everyone knew Chris was kind of door mat and Paulie knew nothing would be done.
I think Paulie probably knew better than to fuck with Eugene. Guy seemed like he had a rep for being a hardened killer.
I think he knows that for close relationship between Tony and Chris would give him major leeway considering his own close relationship with Tony. Eugene might just retaliate financially or physically.

Another thing you missed when explaining the similarities between Tony and Aaron is that Carmela and Aaron’s wife look very similar
Tony’s first scene with Christopher is also mirrored in their last scene together- Chris is wearing a hat and driving while Tony sits in the passenger seat. Aside from when he’s in disguise- it’s the only two times in the series Chris wears a hat

Just want to say Vito's not the only character that has narration in the episode The Second Coming AJ has voiceover whilst he's reading a poem.
Fair point. It was kind of a sloppy way to get the poem to the audience, but I guess they thought it would be weirder for AJ to be reading to poem out loud to himself
Bro knew what he was doing with that thumbnail😂
6:24 just earned my sub
In the Talking Sopranos podcast, they were basically saying everything in the script was intentional, if somebody was eating a bag of chips it wasn't just a random bag, it had a purpose.
Since you're talking about missing details it made me up my game watching this video and i just noticed that the broken skin on Tony's knuckles was from that guy he beat up earlier. Also I read that after the first episode Jamie-Lynn Sigler had a nose job so that's something to look out for in episode two and the rest of the season.
Brooo I just started a rewatch two days ago and noticed her nose in the pilot, looking a liiiittle bigger haha
Interesting, I thought she had work done on her nose (obvious work) In season 6 episode 1. She lost weight as well so maybe that added to it. But definitely had work done. She’s beautiful either way. Not necessary
Isn't a nose job against her religion?

It takes me about 1.5 months to complete the whole series. I started 12 Mar 2022 and finally finished around 3 May 2022. My first watch
Another great upload, Kino! A few of my observations:
- Thank goodness Chase didn't stick with the hyper-saturated, washed out look of the pilot. The visual style of the episodes literally gets darker from season to season, as a visual metaphor for Tony's soul
- The notion of "moving to Reno" - Tony often bellyaches about what he would be doing if he gave up mob life. Sell patio furniture in Arizona? Funny enough, in his near death coma experience, he's a salesman living in Kingman, Arizona.
- No observation, but "introduced the coffee pot to Beansie's face" made me lol. Incidentally, my favorite line in the series is: "Veal parmesan sandwich? Fuck you." The delivery is just so sinister, making a laughable line a legit threat. My second favorite line is from Furio: "Stupid-a facking game." The next would probably be Tony shouting "Conserve!" after giving Georgie yet another beatdown.
- In the "Pine Barrons" episode, not only is the actor playing Bobby *holding* a dildo (off-camera) to make Gandolfini laugh, he's *wearing* a black strap on dildo.
- On Paulie seeing the Virgin Mary in the Bada Bing, I choose to believe this really happened and wasn't just something Paulie made up. We see the visual from a third person perspective (high angle), and not through the viewpoint of Paulie's line of vision. Besides, why would Paulie lie to Tony about this experience, unless it was something profound? I personally love the supernatural elements of the show (ghosts, dream sequences, Tony' alternative reality Kevin Finnerty in the coma world, Christopher visiting Hell).
- Finally, "the sacred and the propane" is such a killer malapropism. People misspeak and mix up words all the time in real life, and The Sopranos does such an excellent job of capturing this, and playing it for laughs.
I LOVE the supernatural aspects of the show. Especially when Christopher was narrating from hell...reminded me of the intro to Pet Cemetery.
@@XanderShiller I can’t be the only one who found Christopher’s post-Mortem narration to be super unsettling
@@haphapp7282 dude..taste doesn't discriminate and since Pet Cemetery was on TV when I was an 8y.o, impressionable kid who's brain had only begun to form.. some connections Stay with you or maybe it's that both narrations In each film gives it a creepy environmental tragic ", why me", etc vibes. I'd watch a horror film by David chase bc he def knows what ppl want.
Sopranos had some terrifyingly human scenes. As did breaking bad whenever the sun went down
Best quote of the series: " You Gotta Bee Ona You Hat" - Furio
Very well put, and we are 2 for 3 on small favorite quotes, “conserve!” And “stupid a fkcin game!” Two all time favorites that I still use.

Fun fact the boonton projects where micheal k was in is actually not in boonton, it’s the north side of Paterson right up the street from river view towers where I grew up in for the first couple years of my life . Still a shitty place to be.

The reason for the narration with that Vito scene was specifically to pay off the hilarity of it not been 12PM.
Kino, I've been watching sopranos since I was 14 and I feel like you killed every recap you've done with the series. That being said I absolutely love that your thorough enough to go back some episodes and go even further with the episodes. Much respect and keep up the great work...Would love to see you go threw Sons of anarchy and breaking bad
Happy Wanderer was also a travel show in the “60s” . The German song “ Happy Wanderer” was used as the intro to the show and also background music through out the show. The show was a travel log for an older couple with a pickup and I believe a trailer that traveled from town to town. Almost like a format for today’s TH-cam.
Pure Kino missed all these details like they were his brother in law
And now Kino's tailor is...is GOING BLIND!

Apologies if this has already been pointed out (I only went through the last 50 posts to check), wine as a religious tool is normally with a priest. Most priests keep it in their back pocket in case of an emergency. Chances are father Phil had his wine as a back up for last rites (as most priests do) before everything got a bit hot and heavy 😀
