There's also some additional symbolism with THE JACKEEEEEET. Richie is literally going "These are the clothes of a fearsome enemy that I defeated, and now I'm putting them on you."
That's actually interesting you say that, I was feeling like it had some kind of curse/bad juju since it came from someone Richie knocked off. I mean, Richie got the jacket and he spent 10 years In prison
Richie was old school. The fact he took the jacket off of Rocco Dimeo in a fight was an accomplishment, and Tony, giving it away, hurt him congratulations on 100K Kino
@ He could have even made it clear he didn’t want it. Say he doesn’t want a dead person’s clothes in his house… Anything. Richie’s reason for not wanting it was pretty superstitious so he would have to accept that excuse lol.
It's funny how Tony longs for "the old days" but every character like Richie, Feech, Phil Leonardo, etc (who are representations of the old days) are people Tony hates! Not only does he hate them as people but he hates the way they do business, even if it is the more classic way mobsters are known to act
In spite of that their are still some moments where Tony paid respect to Feech and Phil . Especially with feech he was very patient telling Sil “he’s old imagine how that must feel”
I liked how Richie wasn't completely one dimensionally evil - his reaction to the botched hit on Chris was believably pragmatic since he knew he'd be very much under suspicion after their past interactions
Season 2 is one of my favorites. Season 1-4 are for all year round watching, I save the other seasons specifically for the fall / winter time. They just have a winter feeling to them, Idk how to explain it.
"The man with the Manson lamps" -- my favourite villain on the show. And the way Janice - "New Jersey Bride" - took him out was among the funniest scenes on The Sopranos.
Dear Mr. PUREKINO, I just got out of the can yesterday. I had to go do 2yrs and am soooo happy to see that your still at it doing my favorite show. Thank you!
What are you talking about? The Penguin had many great, original scenes, such as the scene where L̶i̶v̶i̶a̶ a̶n̶d̶ U̶n̶c̶l̶e̶ J̶u̶n̶i̶o̶r̶ Francis and Rex Calabrese were plotting to kill T̶o̶n̶y̶ Oz, as well as the scene where T̶o̶n̶y̶ Oz asphyxiated C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶o̶p̶h̶e̶r̶ M̶o̶l̶t̶i̶s̶a̶n̶t̶i̶ Vic.
@@chrisfromsouthaus2735Bro you weren't even trying. The age of the characters completely changes the scenarios completely. Tony didn't emotionlessly kill his siblings as kid over jealousy. He isn't being wacked as kid and the way it impacts Tony is different as well. Oz is in denial. Sopranos isn't the copywrite holder of simple mob themes like getting betrayed.
I have a hard time picking anybody over Livia in psychological warfare. Even with some of her clarity slipping away she still managed to hold her own with Janice. Other examples too, domineering Junior, the hit on Tony, etc..
6:26 since Rocco was the “toughest guy in town” when they were just kids, it stands to reason that he’d be older than Tony and Richie. And Richie’s no spring chicken himself, he looks about mid-50s and Tony’s in his early 40s, so it could’ve just been an incident that happened a long time ago, long enough for Rocco to have developed Alzheimer’s. Although it wouldn’t be out of character for Richie to beat up an old man, I don’t think that’s what the writers were implying here.
Richie shit-talking Christopher is one of the funniest moments of whole series. I also love how he stares at Janice at Yoga. He is so out of place. Funny character.
I agree with your assessment. The Jacket represents Richie's self-inflated ego. It does not negate his accomplishments, but they are not as worthwhile as he thinks they are and don't give him the respect he believes he deserves. Janice knows this and manipulates this insecurity like her mom with Junior.
I didn’t even know that about Chrysler and I remember thinking it was weird that he claimed that jacket was “fine Corinthian leather”… I’ve only heard of couches in commercials having that.
LOL, imagine preferring Jackie Jr over literally anyone. I know a lot of people hate Janice but I loved her for saying "Yeah, so what if he's gay!" That episode aired circa 2000, that was a pretty progressive perspective to have at that time.
Change is central to the philosophy of Taoism. Wu Wei, which is often translated as "non-action" or "effortless action," is the ability to go with the flow and accept things as they are. Rather than resist change, it is better to let things happen as they happen. Richie, for all his talk about leaving behind the past, for all his attempts to be a new man, is still attached to who he used to be. He can't let go of his old traditions, his old ideas of masculinity, his old status in the mob. Rather than adapt to the world around him, he tries to force everything to conform to his expectations. In the past, he was respected for his violence and brutality, but he is like the unbending tree in the Tao Te Ching. "A tree that is unbending is easily broken. The most flexible tree is the one that bends" (Tao Te Ching, Chapter 76). The unbending tree may look imposing, but it is rigid and stiff (in attitude, perspective), eventually breaking from its own inability to adapt to what's around it. Richie can't use his strengths to move up because they are also his weaknesses. What once gave him power contributed to his demise.
They did costumes and make up on him beautifully. He reminds you of a vampire and often they have him not blinking, and they made sure his face was extra pasty.
2:04 Yeah... that's why Tony didn't want "tHe jAaaAcKeEt". Not because he knew how hard people would laugh, seeing him stuffed into a jacket 3 sizes too small for him.
"Fine Corinthian leather!" was the tagline for Chrysler ads as said smoothly by Ricardo Montalban. Sort of how most Americans unfortunately know Sir Ian Richardson mainly from the Grey Poupon ads, not his masterful acting in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy or the original House of Cards. At least Montalban also lives on immortally with Khan in Star Trek.
You should totally cover Generation Kill and Boardwalk Empire soon! GK has tons of rich content such as interviews and podcasts with Rudy Reyes (who plays himself) and Jason Lilley just to name a couple. Very interesting series. I think your style of video would be very cool to see!
@@jasonjavelin I've actually done a video on Generation Kill already and I interviewed creator Evan Wright before he passed away! The video is on this channel and the interview is on my second channel Kino Studios!
I saw the jacket as a power play. Ritchie came out of prison with a chip on his shoulder he thought he was the natural heir to the family after his brother but he was passed up by the sopranos. Ritchie knows that the sopranos are too powerful to just wack and take over. Pretty much all the capos were in favour of Tony as boss. Ritchie had to win over the key players, and get a foothold. Winning over junior was his big play and he was close. After this he would’ve just had to knock out silvio and chrissy. As the aprile and Juniors crew were the biggest in the family. Everyone else would’ve got in line to keep the money rolling in. The jacket was just ritchie trying to be clever and putting tony in the role of the big shot he’s planning on overthrowing. Sure he was pissed that tony give it away to some rando. But I don’t think that was the breaking point for him. He was planning to take over the whole time
David Proval was I think the best actor on the show. He was perfect in that role. Scary A F. He also played a similar character in UHF, but with staples in his face.
Brilliant insight on the Alzheimer's conclusion. When we get older, the muscles don't respond like they used to. That's why it's classified as "elder abuse", to assault a senior citizen. It carries more severe sentencing. All those "old school" mobsters needed to be retired by the NY/NJ families. Rusty, Ritchie, Feech, Angelo and Tony B.
Ritchie didn't really say it's okay to hit women. He said that it's his business that Chris struck Andrea, because they were married. If they were married, he wouldn't be scolding Christopher, but still he would be mad.
I’d love to see you re-review the seasons of Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire in your new style since those old reviews aren’t how you did in Breaking Bad and The Sopranos series reviews
I'd have liked to have heard more about who Rocko was, was he related to the guest of the government, who also had the same first name as Tony's lost Uncle?
Kino, you’re going to build Cineranter a ramp
Pure Kino doesn't want anything to do with Cineranter after what he did to Peter!
He’ll build a ramp up his ass … drive a Lionel up in there.
Drive a Lionel up in there…
Can’t forgetBorko what ever happened there 😂😂😂
@@heroic7774whatever happend there??????? He was 55!!!! A fuckin kid…

Just what I was thinking. Dressing up his new prey in the garb of the old.
I didn't think of that, very allegorical, I love it.
Exactly. Literally saying "hey this guy I beat was the same size as you".
HBO: “You know in my day-“
Borko: “And that’s the thing, I don’t want to hear how it was in your day no more!”
Thish ishnt da 70s no more! And I’m not a kid!
Kino: "Yeah, now, well, the thing about the old days...they the old days."
It's hard to forget... I don't forget.

Guy at my work said he watched sopranos, so i threw out a few richie quotes one day he didnt get it. Then i said THE JAAACKEEEET and he got it 😂
Wow , so interesting.
How bout this line -
Her lips on his lips, thats kissing.
@@EnjoySackLunch I'm in no mood for this sh*t!
I quote Richie Aprile at work like it’s my job. “Look, kid, I shouldn’t have to explain myself. I’m from the old school.”
Sharp as a cue ball, that one.
As you know, Pure Kino has over 100k subscribers under his subspecies, a million views in the Sopranologs series alone, with over 330 videos uploaded.
Ever since Richie beat Beansie Richie keeps rubbing his hands like he's still sore from fisting Beansie's face.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Very Observant, whatever happened there.
I liked how Richie wasn't completely one dimensionally evil - his reaction to the botched hit on Chris was believably pragmatic since he knew he'd be very much under suspicion after their past interactions
Also he was fairly cordial towards Davey, warning him not to get into that executive game.
Would you say he’s a pragmatist

I know what you mean. I started binging the series in the summer. I was late fall when I finished.
I started The Sopranos for the first time in late Fall and finished it in Winter of this year. Talk about good timing
It'z da jack-itttttt
Did that jacket eventually find its way to Baltimore and Ziggy Sobotka?
Fuckin zig
Now there's an image!
No wonder he got it for 3k
Nor good enough for Cheese.
It found its way to the better show.

Thank you!

you want compromise? 2 years in the can
Historically, carmine always said the penguin is nothing more than a glorified sopranos parody
We got The Wire and The Sopranos and then there's this pigmy thing with The Penguin. There are no scraps in my scrapbook.
What are you talking about? The Penguin had many great, original scenes, such as the scene where L̶i̶v̶i̶a̶ a̶n̶d̶ U̶n̶c̶l̶e̶ J̶u̶n̶i̶o̶r̶ Francis and Rex Calabrese were plotting to kill T̶o̶n̶y̶ Oz, as well as the scene where T̶o̶n̶y̶ Oz asphyxiated C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶o̶p̶h̶e̶r̶ M̶o̶l̶t̶i̶s̶a̶n̶t̶i̶ Vic.
@chrisfromsouthaus2735 - Sounds awesome! Gonna have to get an HBO subscription one of these days!
I heard Davey Chase stole every storyline for The Sopranos from The Godfather. But that's just me, I'm not judging you.
@@chrisfromsouthaus2735Bro you weren't even trying. The age of the characters completely changes the scenarios completely. Tony didn't emotionlessly kill his siblings as kid over jealousy. He isn't being wacked as kid and the way it impacts Tony is different as well. Oz is in denial. Sopranos isn't the copywrite holder of simple mob themes like getting betrayed.
Johnny sack vs Richie April butting heads as bosses of their family would have been crazy to see. Two characters who have tremendous "moxy".
@amer1canalex That would have been awesome, or Richie and Ralph working together to take down Tony
I love how I'm on a sopranos vibe this week and i find this 🙏
That was actually a really thoughtful gesture to try and mend things between the two.
He's off-putting but he rarely actually does something wrong, besides Beansie lol
SAME, Season 2 is a personal FAV to me too mainly for Richie’s intimidating presents
It’s the packed with plot
*presence. Ironically, the jacketttttt was a present to Tony lol
My favorite line of the show “I’ll build a ramp to your ass, drive a Lionel up in there.”
Yeah, but it's the delivery that makes it meme-worthy.
That’s a good line, but my favorite is Ralph saying “A: She’s a hoowah. B: She hit me.” I always die laughing at the line and the delivery.
Congrats on 100k g. I love the videos
The maids husband to Richie after getting the jacket. To the victor belongs the spoils
😂😂😂 made me laugh for a good minute
Hey Richie, want to come play tennis?
“Yeah, let me grab my raaacheeeeet”
Richie vs Livia would have been an awesome battle. Sociopath vs sociopath.
“Somebody oughta wash your mouth out with soap.”
“Who’s gonna do it, you?”
I have a hard time picking anybody over Livia in psychological warfare. Even with some of her clarity slipping away she still managed to hold her own with Janice. Other examples too, domineering Junior, the hit on Tony, etc..
@@lesran I feel like she only affects Tony and maybe Carmela. Characters like Junior or AJ kinda brush off what she says.
Keep it up ! 100k love your videos dude!
He couldn’t sell it, the JACKETTTTT!
“Don’t you remember me? You use to yell at me for beeping my car horn when I use come to pick up Janice?”
“Pimps beep!!”
That jacket never had the makings of a varsity garment.
Richie was always going to get it from somebody. The fact it was Janice and not another gangster was poetic justice.
Congrats on 100K subs Kino.
Thank you so much 😀
Makes me wonder how Richie and Jackie Jr. would have been like if Jackie Sr. had lived.
For starters, both would still be alive.
Congrats on 100K subs from a long time watcher, you've earned it! Gabagool.
Richie’s jacket whatever happened there
THE 70'S JACKET LOL AND HIS FACE WHEN HE SEE'S TONYS POLISH HOUSEKEEPER HUSBAND WEARING IT

I didn't get the "Manson lamps" until subsequent rewatches. Classic!
This was such a great breakdown!
Bang on. Brilliant video
Richie shit-talking Christopher is one of the funniest moments of whole series. I also love how he stares at Janice at Yoga. He is so out of place. Funny character.
Your editing is awesome and hilarious!!
Richie's trophy jacket was hideous, but nothing compared to the 80s Don Johnson style suit Tony B was wearing.
The jacket was definitely a sign of things to come. He couldn’t sell it and he wasn’t respected enough to keep the gift.
Need all the sopranos content I can get. This and cineranter fills that void lol
Tony is a re-gifter!😂
“ then what he dies and I can’t even wear his shoes “ 😂😂😂😂
I agree with your assessment. The Jacket represents Richie's self-inflated ego. It does not negate his accomplishments, but they are not as worthwhile as he thinks they are and don't give him the respect he believes he deserves.

Love Richie, dude craks me up.

Great episode! Fuckin Richie man what a bulldog. Such great writing for his character.
David Proval was 100% perfect for that role.

“It’s the jackeeeeeet”
“The jacket?”
“The jacket”
Always with the scenarios.
Rocko Demeo, eh? The man, the legend!
I can't believe Tony gave that jacket away... he looked like Robert Evans in it...😆
I saw the jacket as a power play. Ritchie came out of prison with a chip on his shoulder he thought he was the natural heir to the family after his brother but he was passed up by the sopranos.
Ritchie knows that the sopranos are too powerful to just wack and take over. Pretty much all the capos were in favour of Tony as boss. Ritchie had to win over the key players, and get a foothold. Winning over junior was his big play and he was close. After this he would’ve just had to knock out silvio and chrissy. As the aprile and Juniors crew were the biggest in the family. Everyone else would’ve got in line to keep the money rolling in.
The jacket was just ritchie trying to be clever and putting tony in the role of the big shot he’s planning on overthrowing. Sure he was pissed that tony give it away to some rando. But I don’t think that was the breaking point for him. He was planning to take over the whole time
Litturally just finished thinking to myself "It's been awhile since Kino dropped a video"
Great video and all but what about the jacket!?
You don’t hit on Janice, and you definitely don’t hit Janice.
We should have known this was coming 🤭🤭🤭🤭
David Proval was I think the best actor on the show. He was perfect in that role. Scary A F. He also played a similar character in UHF, but with staples in his face.
David Proval(Richie), has said that he plays the character like 6"3.
A true psychopath. He never blinks in any social interaction
