Yep, The Soprano's was a real tour de force. I just discovered it about 3 years ago (I don't think that I had a TV for most of it's original run) and ended up binge watching the entire series - and I'm not really a film or television hound. Ultra high level writing and great acting with many out of the ordinary sharp psychological scenes; just one example were some of the soap opera scenes between Tony and wife Carmella that were straight up intense Academy Award performances. The episode about getting lost in the snowy woods had me grinning and laughing nearly the whole way, and not much anymore can do that. All of The Soprano's supporting cast were superb but definitely, Mr. Gandolfini carried the legendary series on his shoulders and he is gone way too soon.
Big love from Scotland. You dudes are tremendous how you bounce off one another. Respect even when opinions differ. More humans need to understand y'all's work ethic and outlook. Too many people easte energy, time and resources on hate and jealousy!
I love what you guys do. Please keep it up. I know the views ain’t all that but you’ve got a core fan here now. I just watched Pool Hall Junkies for the first time the other week because of my exposure to Chazz. 😂
Kind of like karate movies that were popular back in the 80s that all the kids in class were doing karate chops on each other and throwing high kicks!The large sunglasses thing that people emulate is so obvious!
I grew up with my Sicilian grandparents, and when The Godfather and Godfather II came out on video, we were not allowed to enter the living room while they were watching them, and it always struck me as odd because we could watch First Blood or any other movies with no issues, but they wouldn't let us watch that at all... so, when I got to Jr. High, I stole a hardback copy from the public library (and paid for it later in cash) and read the book. So, when I finally watched the movie, I was disappointed, actually because I felt they left out too many important parts. I still have that old, moldy copy of The Godfather at my house. The bindings are gone, and the back cover is gone, but I still have it. Haha.
This whole vid made me want to send You both *Punisher: WARZONE* with Ray Stevenson and *The PUNISHER* with Tom Jane + John Travolta _(extended edition)_ for you to analyze all of the Mafia scenes!
You know, I’d rather have the heads of the 5 families running the country than the politicians. At least you’d know where you stand, your neighborhoods would be respectful and no one would put up with all the crap we do now.
Michael, how come you never talked about the movie Mobsters or gave it a review that’s one of my all-time favorite mobster movies! I’ve been following you since the beginning and I always wondered why you haven’t hit that movie yet… any reason?
Mario Puzo first wrote several novel’s about normal Italian Americans families. He got nowhere, gets fed up. To consciously write a best seller. He adds the Mafia. That’s supposed to be why the characters are and the family are so vivid and good.
I think “ Godfather” was a Nick name given to the character of Vito Corleone because he was wise and had sort of a “ Fatherly way” of handling his business. Actually there is a line in the movie that says “ Godfather was a term that was given to my father by his Freinds out reverence and respect”
Mr. Palminterri, your depiction of Jimmy Whispers is hilarious and the Bronx Tale is the only movie concerning the mob, that i like. I have an idea for your next mob movie, how about Teddy Tuesday?
Compadre (in spanish) which is so close to Italians in language, faith, etc... means COMO PADRE meaning "like a father". That's where the word compadre (compare) come from. If the hats of the "family" is "like a father" is where it is switched and used a head of a mafia family comes into play.
James Gandolfini was a great actor and such a nice guy. I’m from Naples gentlemen. I didn’t see the Godfather til I got older and honestly, I laughed at it. My mafia movies was the news. It’s not the life that is depicted by Hollywood at all. As far as the Godfather term is concerned, I think Mario Puzo came up with the term when he wrote Il Padrino. He wrote the book based on stories his mother told him when he was younger. I have never heard anyone call a boss a don or godfather, even in Italy.
Greetings gents. I just finished ? Watching a hilarious funny movie starring a actor the both of yous Chazz and Michael know? The movie was. Dirty Grandpa with Robert De Niro . I hope yous have seen it? I also gotta ask ? Out the both of yous? Which would be more like ? The Dirty Grandpa? Lol. Anyway glad I caught yous guys posted this. . Have a great remaining week huh? Salute ??? And Ciao. I hope to one day? I can sit with yous and we can enjoy a nice Italian lunch wherever and a glass of vino? And after? Enjoy a nice cigar. 🍷 Ohhhh one more thing on Italians dressing? I remember back in my childhood years back there in the city? My late Grandfather and a few other Italian men back in the 60s &70s wearing the white tank top T shirts ? Shorts made of slacks material and a pair of dress shoes and the gold necklaces huh? Me? I gotta admit at 66 years old ? I tend to dress a bit like that myself 🤌 Madone!!! Lol
Don:masculine noun Predicate of honor attributed to many of the regular clerics and to all secular ecclesiastics; among the lay people, once reserved only for princes and members of the high nobility of Spain and Portugal, it was then extended, also in Italy, to every person of importance, not necessarily noble, especially. in the South where, today, more than anything else, it is a name denoting respect and reverence
Chaz asked the question. When did “Godfather” come into the mafia and it seems that it never really did but that was just Hollywood’s depiction. I think Michael even said that he doesn’t remember anybody being called Godfather rather boss. I could be wrong though, and certainly stand to be corrected if a member of the life says otherwise. .
I was afraid of the mafia when I was young after Paul was killed, the papers showed him in the street like a dog. I hated that Italians with money were assumed to be mafia, totally Hollywoods fault. My dad owned restaurants, had one by the castellanos big Louie in FL and was approached to launder money. My grandpa sent them packing. He grew up in the Bowery, was a Bowery Boy, my dad sheepshead bay, and me, Long Island north shore.I was teased my whole life bcz my last name. The Fortunate Pilgrim by Mario Puzzo was good. Godfather was used to add humanity to the character to show he watched over the neighborhood. Soprano had one foot in old school, one foot in a new changing world hence the inner conflict, which I relate very much. The old timers had other families all together. Look at Gigante.
My favorite mob film is Asante's Gotti. But there's a huge error. Gotti goes to visit Quack Quack at the cancer hospital. I think that's Hollywood since there was no way Gotti would visit him, and I think John avoided the funeral too.
Mike,there is a bizarre rumor going around the net now that,apparently,the NY families want you to leave YT😳😄Is that possible?(there is,allegedly, an "order" from Barney Bellomo).
You could have had the food and beverage job you wanted to go on tv? And wtf is that about you know I get calls from back home asking if you lost your mind
I used to follow mikes channel because i actually believed he was trying to change. I realized, hes become a false prophet who is feeding off garbage 🗑 Very disappointed 😞 Some things never change, right, Michael 😢
You only get 3 good women in your life, they come around like the great fighters. " 😅 "oh yeah, sunny, what about you. "," me I got mine when I was 16 whata gonna do that's life 😂".. The door test , you dump her ,you dumper her fast... I live by these lines ❤. True story when I had my old jeep, it didn't have power doors. The door test never failed..🤔🫡

One of my favorite TH-cam channels if not my favorite the amount of wisdom for us men in our 20s & 30s is incredible. Thank you

I remember Chazz Playing Mob Boss Sonny In Bronx Tale
Love to listen to these 2 gentlemen. Thank you for sharing the information and your experience.
I love what you guys do. Please keep it up. I know the views ain’t all that but you’ve got a core fan here now. I just watched Pool Hall Junkies for the first time the other week because of my exposure to Chazz. 😂
Thanks for these videos guys they make my day a little better 🙏
Another great video Michael and Chaz. 💯👏🏼 God bless you both🙏🏼☝🏼
Both you gentlemen are REAL MEN ! Warm regards to you both. Paulie from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Kind of like karate movies that were popular back in the 80s that all the kids in class were doing karate chops on each other and throwing high kicks!The large sunglasses thing that people emulate is so obvious!
Thank you both for your sit-downs. Mark Grubb here, and I have always been attracted to it.
You guys are great, much respect & love here. *Tips hat*
Great episode!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good introspection!

The word godfather, I assume was first mention by Joe Follaci. You could hear it in the Valachi testimony.
ahahahahahhaaha
these guys are hilarious, "I kissed more guys than my wife."
Great channel

Love both of you. Your children are lucky to have you as fathers!
You two wise guys should do a "sitdown" with Rudy Guiliani. Forgive me for butchering his name. Cheers from Danmark 😊
Remember the white collar of the shirt over the outside of the suit lapel

I enjoy the 50's and 60's movies and the Untouchables.

My great uncle clem played Jimmy whispers.

Greatest movie is the Godfather 1 and especally 2........greatest character is Chazz as Sonny in Bronx Tale !!
The psychiatrist episodes were always interesting with Dr. Milfi and Tony!
Dr Milf 😂
Coffee & Cake Oh man! 😅
Man I got a closet full of jump suits!😂
I can't believe these two guys are supporters of De Santis!

Sounds small time

Chazz Joey Merlino says you are no tough guy!
No.. he's an actor. Tell your friend. Joe, we already know this. How's Philly? 🩶😎🇮🇹
Eddie Mush was a real gambler who never won

Oh I thought 💭 you was down south somewhere lol.
Mike,there is a bizarre rumor going around the net now that,apparently,the NY families want you to leave YT😳😄Is that possible?(there is,allegedly, an "order" from Barney Bellomo).
REAL Italians all got the great humor in Sopranos 😂😂
I guess they’re done with the books
Chaz was right all along, nobody cares 🤘
mush is from uk
There is no mafia.. that’s what I’ve always been told 😉
A think the priest had a series of Altar boys given hindsight !!
You could have had the food and beverage job you wanted to go on tv? And wtf is that about you know I get calls from back home asking if you lost your mind
They all had Goomadas!!
DeSantis wants to be president but he doesn't clean up Florida 🤔
Someone tell chazz he's not a mobb guy either. Wannabe? I'd say borderline
I used to follow mikes channel because i actually believed he was trying to change.
I realized, hes become a false prophet who is feeding off garbage 🗑
Very disappointed 😞
Some things never change, right, Michael 😢
