There were so many references to Frankie Valli in this series, dropping his name, having his music playing in the background or at clubs, there's even an episode titled after one of his signature songs (Big Girls Don't Cry). Genius move to cast him. Proved to be a good actor too.
I also laughed at the scene in Goodfellers when Karen confronts Henry about standing her up, screaming “who do you think you are, Frankie Valli or some kind of BIG SHOT?!” Karen being played of course by no less than Dr. Melfi lml

Except he wasn’t a gangster. He was a business man that seemed to prioritize turning dirty money into clean money and running legit businesses. His crew don’t respect that as much bc he’s not a street guy like they are. He had the right idea and business sense, but him living out in Miami and then coming over and not being part of the racket was always gonna rub his crew the wrong way
Respect for Uncle Borko. He created a sub-culture. This started off as a glorified shinebox / varsity athlete crew to now thousands of subscribers, views, comments. Salud!
Thanks for including the deleted scene at the end of Phil revealing he spent 20 years in the can. I always found it frustrating how Phil never mentioned how long he had been in prison. But wow, now I know! 20 years ain’t bad though…By the time he got out he was still a kid!

am i looking at this correctly? at 5:20 johnny looks over at little carmine and rusty. carmine immediately breaks eye contact but rusty just stares him down.
Not to get all allegorical, but this came out shortly after 9/11, and the statement about people in the street welcoming Carmine's faction as heroes held a lot of weight after the invasion of Iraq didn't pan out the way Washington thought. I feel that's an interesting touch. Anyways, have a sundae and zone out in front a da friggin' TV
Scenes like this made me wish Buscemi had a longer stay on the show. Only because I like the idea of him being one of Tony‘s loyal captains, he would’ve been a serious asset to Tony had Angelo not been killed and he flipped out.
"The fundamental question is will I be as an effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be even more so but until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective" Come again?
One theme of the show was, that so many insecure incompetent people got to the top which led to theire downfall. Tony was quite lucky i guess, but in the later seasons his temper got him into even more trouble. Johnny was a good captain, but a terrible leader which led to the downfalls of the whole house. He should not have listend to Butchie and Phil.
Frankie Valli really sold the role well, being a guy who is most known for his 60s stuff it adds to the image of Rusty suddenly hopping back in the game to take advantage of Carmine
Don't forget when the Carmines were golfing, Little Carmine wound Old Carmine up like a top in a matter of seconds. He's not an idiot. He just needs a book on idioms.
So, I had a question: Frankie Valli is mentioned numerous times in the series, and his music is played very often. So, obviously, Frankie Valli exists in the "Sopranos universe." That being said, how come no one in the show ever went up to Rusty and said, "Hey, Rusty, you know you're the spitting image of Frankie Valli?!?!"
The fact that Frankie Valli not only accepted but embraced the role of “ Mayor of Munchkin Land “ is a small part of why this show is brilliant . Imagine Frankie , in all of his accolades and glory , being informed by oddball David chase : “ …So ur the mayor of munchkin land “
I'm telling you Borko, we go all out, we'll steamroll right over HBO. And I predict that guys in street on TH-cam will welcome us as fucking heroes. It will be easy.
Sorry but I don't recall Little Carmine's "Stagmire" being mentioned in the Malaproisms video. Then again, his rhetoric, in literally each scene he failed to grace, were so cringey it would be impossible to catch them all. Even for a friend of ours like Borko. There is always next upload. Then again, next upload? There'll be no next upload...
Historically speaking carmine always said rusty millio never had the makings of a varsity athlete speaking allegorically as such and that he had a few subspecies in his crew .
3:28 They have money for personal barbers, because shaving by yourself is apparently too hard, yet they are still hanging out in one of the cheapest and most pitiful places imaginable, with barely no space and with a poker table made of plastic.
