I remember this episode really nailed down the atmosphere of a family pool party. Drinking, hard partying, awkward interactions with relatives and friends of relatives, the stresses of cooking that much food, and assigning people tasks like driving the Grandparents home.
A lot of people think that this is the most boring episode of The Sopranos.. I would have to disagree with that.. I love when they focus on the family aspect.. The show is mostly about Tony's family and the Psychiatry Sessions; not every episode has to be straight-up mafioso/gangster content.. This is definitely one of the greatest series ever made!!
I loved this one because of the subtlety. It really captures the simmering, passive aggressive tension that goes on between relatives, it can be just as hurtful
I always liked this episode because it showed how Carm's mom is also really toxic and narcissistic the same way Livia was (but obviously not at the borderline insane level of toxicity Livia was). It kinda makes you think about how when Tony and Carm started dating they probably bonded over talking about having to deal with their crazy mothers.
One of my all time favorites. I just love the mood of this episode so much. And seeing Tony truly care for Carmela's father is great. He's the father that Tony should've had.
@@willnailer2118 I would even go as far to say you shouldn't even be typing 'the sopranos...' in the search bar. The sopranos is such a masterpiece of a show and everybody takes away something different from it so by watching clips and dissections of the show, it kinda clouds your judgement on what you yourself really think of it
I fkn love spoilers. I want to know exactly what I’m investing my time in and how it ends because I don’t like having anxiety watching something. I spoiled everything for myself before I ever watched one episode of the sopranos.
I'm one of the people who is watching the show for the first time. I also like to watch analyses of the episodes after I watch them because I just watch an episode a few times per week. That's why I don't like spoilers to future episodes. A warning about a spoiler is nice and surely not too difficult to do. I appreciate him doing it
5:20. Wrong. Russ Fagoli recognized the shotgun WAS of superior quality and therefore could not have been acquired by legal means. His statement merely sheds light on the knowledge of Tony being a gangster who can acquire said items inaccessible to the common man.
He drew attention to her weight while also having a hard time getting in the car. The show points out Tony’s hypocrisy quite often. Like when you see Christopher doing drugs, the next scene more often than not is Tony eating or drinking soda.
This episode indirectly results in the ending of the series. Tony B kills Joey which causes Jonny to kill Angelo which causes Tony B to to kill Billy L which causes Phil to hate Tony for not giving up tony b which causes Tony to kill Tony B which causes both sides to hate each other which causes the war between the two families. All because of this episode
The name of the episode might stem from the fact that for all of the accomplishments of the actual Marco Polo, being a renowned Venetian explorer/merchant whose books allowed Europeans a view of what life in the Orient was like and inspired other travelers such as Christopher Columbus...in today's culture he's just known for a silly pool game. It's the same cultured vs. rudimentary contrast between Hugh's snobbish friend and the more affable Tony. You know there would be a scene where Hugh's friend tries to explain who Marco Polo was while everyone is just having fun with the pool game.
I always thought Russ’s comment about those berettas never getting exported was to imply that Tony got it illegally, not that it wasn’t the best. Still a gross arrogant comment regardless. Great video!
You should have mentioned that it Carmela's mother that first suggested Tony shouldn't attend Hugh's party. Carmela didn't initially see a problem with Tony's attendance.
When Rus says they never ship the best guns out of Italy, I always got the vibe that the gifted gun was one of the best and there for had to be acquired through illegal means. It never occurred to me the gifted gun might best less than the best and Rus's comment a slight in that effect. Either way...An Italian allergic to pomadoro, my condolences.
If you watch when they pan to the crowd Artie turns his head and the other guys get a look...Russ is from the Norte of Italy..remember what Furio said about the Norte.
Cybinized....I was thinking the same exact thing. I figured it was to rub it in Hugh's face that it was a stolen piece and to insult Tony, but, Kino's theory is something to ponder as well..
This is when viewers finally turned on Carmela... She clearly made it clear that she doesn't love Tony and that their marriage is broken - yet she reunited with him in the end merely because of money.
I don't think so. Were you rooting for Tony this far in the show? it's become painfully obvious at this point that Tony is a sociopath who is willing to step on everyone else for his own benefit.
I love this episode. It was a "family" episode and was very realistic and funny. My parents have an in ground pool and they had some big pool parties while I was a kid growing up and this definitely nailed the atmosphere perfectly. A lot of people usually ended up getting a bit too drunk at those events that started when it was still daylight and ended with night swimming. This is why the Sopranos was so great. Their family lives mirrored a lot of people's so people could relate. It didn't just concentrate all on the mob stuff. Daily mob life is more of a grind than people think anyway. It isn't just doing hits all of the time. A lot of mob guys ran legit or semi legit businesses and bookmaking and loan sharking could be sort of a grind as well as union meetings. Day to day mob life could be tedious and not very glamorous just like an average person who works.
I always thought the actress who played Ginny must have been a h*ll of a good sport irl, can't be (totally) easy to play a character who's looks are a source of mockery. R.I.P. cool lady
No. It's really a big difference between northern and southern Italians. You can see the same in Britain where they make fun of Welshmen or Northeners and in Japan it's the same with the northern Island which didn't really had people on it until they got perennial crops from trade with Europeans. I guess these stereotypes exist in most countries, where the more developed parts usually have the big newspapers and TV stations, so they tend to make fun of the rural areas. It's certainly what's going on in the US and even between Jersey and New York. You can decide for yourself if there's any truth to these stereotypes, but it's more than just "not being in the mob".
In episode Christopher, Furio said the northern Italian people looks down on southern Italians in general , not about being mob related , Carmella comments on how her mother brags their last name doesn’t end in a vowel and was shocked at how dark Meadow was when she was born, it’s more about north vs south
You know, you think uncle Jun with all he has endured decided to save face, Decided to help Tony's life by having Carmela invite him to the party and repairing his life by calling Hugh. That's always what I thought.
hmm I always thought the idea there was the piece must have been stolen, or acquired through shady means, since he spoke admiringly of it before Tony butted in on the convo--not that he was absent-mindedly shitting on his host. It felt very much like "cultured Italian" sitting in judgment of a fat fuckin crook from Jersey, like, How did *you* get this piece?
S5E8 is my favourite episode of 5th season. Almost the whole episode is the Hugh's birthday party where you see a glimpse of early Sopranos seasons - bright colors, loud parties, happy people, much humor. One of the last if not the last glimpse at all. And in the end Tony B fucks up pretty symbolically
I had a question. Is Joey Peeps a confirmed "soldier"? Rusty specifically says he's "a friend of a friend; not a friend of ours." Now I guess that could mean he's not on Little Carmine's side, but a made guy (like Rusty) saying someone is "a friend of ours" always means their made. That's why I think it was half-way understandable to take out associates like Lorraine and Joey Peeps. Just a thought. Would love to hear more thoughts....anyway, I'm $4 a pound...
I love the Sopranos. I've written this before, but I got to say it again. I binged watched the whole series three times. I can't do it again! But I love Soprano fan videos and the algorithm is torturing me. I can't watch it again! Before I watched The Sopranos, the world and the way it worked for me was a mystery. But afterward, everything made sense and I understood the way society works. On so many levels. This show was a masterpiece. I can't watch it again. But I want to. In order to watch this show, you must become part of the family, and I just can't live these lives anymore. It rips at your heart.
Great episode, IIRC the song playing when Tony B kills Joey and Heather the prostitute (Bad 'N' Ruin by Faces) is also playing the background of the club when Tony B meets with Tony to ask to get back in the game. Really great layering right there. Also another great example of dispelling the Mafia myth: we are supposed to have sympathy for Tony B and all his "hardships" but his solution involves killing a young woman cause she happened to be in the car, real class act that Tony B is. Anyway that whole sequence is shot with perfection.
2 theories I have. 1. I always thought Russ was implying tony obtained the gun illegally as they never export certain parts. 2. Why did tony not give tony B some cash to get back on his feet when he got out? Seems customary when wiseguys get out of jail to give them a boost yet he didn’t get anything.
While Russ can be Paulie's father, it's possible that Rusty Mileo could be his half-brother. That is if Rusty is a nickname for Russ. We never know who Rusty's father was.
Interesting take on the beretta shot gun scene. I took it to mean, since Italy doesn't send the best to the states implied that Tony got it illegally through different channels, which is probably true either way. Good call. And the russ/ Paulie father sounds very applicable.
If I were a high-school teacher, and you were one of my students who wrote this essay, I would give your paper an A++, underlined in red ink. Brilliant!
Don’t forget the smoking gun about Russ being Paulies dad is when Hugh commented abiut Russ having had a really bad case of the crabs, speaks loudly about going around and sleeping with everybody back then
Interesting theory. Never heard of it before. I always kid that Tony was big pappa bear trying to get carm in the swimming pool. Lol. Awesome video as always. Very much liked the theroy. Hope to hear some cool insights soon you have a good knack for them. Take care and stay safe! Cheers!
I think I need to correct the idea of the gun. Wait, I went and watched You Tube clips of Dr. Fegoli and the Berretta rifle. And OMG. In just the few minutes I watched I learned so much. Firstly, I must correct the impression that Dr. Fegoli saying the Berretta bad of bad quality. Dr. Feolgi insulted Tony by inferring that the gun was smuggled into the United States by illegal means. Basically, he called Tony a criminal in front of his father-in-law and his friends. So, Dr. Fegoli was either saying the rifle was illegal or a counterfeit. Either way, he was demeaning Tony by saying the gun was a fake or from smuggled. Just like when someone is smoking a Cuban Cigar. It's the best, but contraband. And OMG. Is Paulie Dr. Fegoli's son. OMG. YES OF COURSE. No detail is in the script is by accident. So, this theory is totally correct. During the episode, they mention that "Russ" was in the army and got crabs. Prostate cancer is also introduce, which can be caused by Syphilis or other STDs. When describing Dr. Fegoli we are directed toward is genitals by way of references to crabs and prostrate cancer. We are instructed to think that the man thinks with his penis. Despite the armies directive to stay from the prostitutes in Italy during the war, he obviously had risky sex. Maybe "Russ" Fegoli had sex with a prostitute who got pregnant and went to a convent to get help. The prostitute may have given up Paulie for adoption and dedicated herself to God. Maybe Paulie's real mother was a teenager and got pregnant by a horny American soldier and had to give up the baby for adoption. I knew an Italian lady who told me about being a teenager during the war. She said they were starving and had to eat song birds. I can only imagine her desperation. OMG Paulie's real father is Dr. Fegoli!
Tony B should've told his sons "we would've been on easy street if yous two would've taken that pink Cadillac but nooooo it had dead people in it" Be first to comment what the joke means win a prize
Joke is referring to a mob movie: Goodfellas (1990). Kids under a NY bridge discover a dead mafia couple in a pink Cadillac. Jimmy Conway is “tying up loose ends”. What’s my prize?
Most of Tony’s crew and Tony himself are not Sicilian. Southern Italian but not Sicilian. Like John Gotti and Al Capone many American Cosa Nostra are Napolitano or Calabrese or other southern Italian regions
Whoever cast Tony B’s sons nailed it. I feel like I’ve met these kids at big family functions and wondered “Who invited them? I’ve never seen them before!” 🤣
I remember this episode really nailed down the atmosphere of a family pool party. Drinking, hard partying, awkward interactions with relatives and friends of relatives, the stresses of cooking that much food, and assigning people tasks like driving the Grandparents home.

When describing Dr. Fegoli we are directed toward is genitals by way of references to crabs and prostrate cancer. We are instructed to think that the man thinks with his penis. Despite the armies directive to stay from the prostitutes in Italy during the war, he obviously had risky sex. Maybe "Russ" Fegoli had sex with a prostitute who got pregnant and went to a convent to get help. The prostitute may have given up Paulie for adoption and dedicated herself to God. Maybe Paulie's real mother was a teenager and got pregnant by a horny American soldier and had to give up the baby for adoption. I knew an Italian lady who told me about being a teenager during the war. She said they were starving and had to eat song birds. I can only imagine her desperation.
OMG Paulie's real father is Dr. Fegoli!
Love your recaps. You mention things I might have missed while watching.
should add who the writer and director of each episode was.
Great video like always Kino. Love those outros too!
Pure Kino had an audience with Pope Borko
Where'd they all sit.. Hehehe
Tony B should've told his sons "we would've been on easy street if yous two would've taken that pink Cadillac but nooooo it had dead people in it"
Be first to comment what the joke means win a prize
Joke is referring to a mob movie: Goodfellas (1990). Kids under a NY bridge discover a dead mafia couple in a pink Cadillac. Jimmy Conway is “tying up loose ends”. What’s my prize?
Tony gave it to her up in her club
This episode is where Tony B became Heisenberg
Always delivering the good stuff
Most of Tony’s crew and Tony himself are not Sicilian. Southern Italian but not Sicilian. Like John Gotti and Al Capone many American Cosa Nostra are Napolitano or Calabrese or other southern Italian regions
We know.
Tony in season one or 2 goes to where his family comes from
Avelino, Italy which is north of Napoli/ Naples.
I remember when Kino bought me a beretta, it was from Italy 🇮🇹
Whoever cast Tony B’s sons nailed it.
I feel like I’ve met these kids at big family functions and wondered “Who invited them? I’ve never seen them before!” 🤣
Hassling Angie was the most evil thing Phil ever did
Tony never had the makings of a varsity water polo player.
This episode is one of my favourites thought it was Carmella mom that didn’t want Tony to come
Don’t forget that Russ is PAULIE’S FATHER!!!
Damn it, you always post when I’m working. Lol.
the happiness it brings Hugh to watch Tony twirl some sausages made my day
Pure kino for Boss 🔥🔥
The other funny thing about that scene is the look on Johns face when Tony is trying to get into the car.
Thanks again for another review. Keep at it. 💪🏽
Joey Peeps was John's protege
Schooled him when he was his driver
Who is the blonde girl on 5:43? She left after that with AJ.
