Celebrating The Sopranos 25th Anniversary | Not Today, Pal

[@moseees9237]

Sopranos needs a spinoff where AJ and Meadow are going through dad’s old stuff and they find the truck full of Pokémon cards from season 2

[@shpongled587]

Like the Joey Diaz spinoff wasn't bad enough.

[@nickbotic]

Truly jealous you got to experience it for the first time. If there was any show I could wipe from my memory to go back and watch again like it's brandnew, it'd be either The Sopranos, The Wire, or the first season of True Detective (the latter wto you should watch if you haven't!)

[@JiggyGnorrus]

James and the other Sopranos fulfilled their roles better than another cast or show I've ever seen, the Sopranos became a real family.❤

[@rixvspinner]

The Sopranos was as great as everyone says it was. To me there's no better tv in history. HBO was up to the challenge and of course, for the first time, no restrictions limiting what the producers could do. David Chase at the helm was a huge factor and along with the writing and casting, he produced what will go on decade after decade as being the most beloved tv show in history. The fact Jamie and Robert are pals and they had first hand knowledge, has made all their podcasts, and interviews entertaining.

[@Anubis.6256]

Yes, I have the entire series and rewatch it every couple years and it's always great. If people have not seen it, do yourselves a favor and check it out.

[@jeremyweems4916]

I've watched the entire show at least 5 times. I watch clips from the show on youtube every week.

[@sealife12]

It’s really insane how the show has cemented itself as the greatest ever made. Breaking Bad had that same factor and definitely gave Soprano’s a run for its money but I got 1. Sopranos 2. Breaking Bad and anything else after that is debatable

[@mariacarrasco4531]

Tell me how to get the first series

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

IMO, I take the wire and braking bad over the sopranos anyday

[@caseyaddington2235]

28:36 is so crazy. Never in a million years would I have ever thought about that or figured that out. There is probably hundreds of little nods and entendres and Easter eggs in the show that I haven’t and probably never will pick up on no matter how many times I watch it.

[@Streetw1s3r]

Honestly Jamie's suggestion about rewriting the series ending to be Meadows wedding would've been a great send-off for the show, and it would also be a reference to The Godfather, The Sopranos ending how The Godfather begun. Could've still built tension and cut to black there instead, if only it went for one more season.

[@Evan-qt3ep]

If done right it should’ve been the final scene with classical music playing as tony walks her down the aisle…that would been hard af

[@edwardchamberlain4910]

I don’t think Meadow will still marry if Patsy was somewhat involved in the hit…

[@austinteutsch]

Just start a new series from the 2nd generation of Sopranos. Meadow, AJ Chrissy all the actors that are still alive with new storylines given the present-day crime families. Come on HBO, take that 2nd chance as you did with the first. Call David Chase up NOW!!

It was the Sopranos box set something I had been wanting for years so I started watching this show again for like the 7th time!

[@np9395]

Rob, the moment he looked close to tears and Jamie being a bit of a rock there. Makes you love this pod just that bit more. Congratulations to them both.

[@WHR17]

This is the first time I watched an entire series and seriously missed it after it was over. I was almost depressed when it ended. Such an amazing show and cast. Love the podcast and revisiting the series. Happy 25th anniversary!!!

Facts

[@ChristopherRobinson-l5v]

The initial knee jerk reaction to the finale versus the long term perspective on it is just a testament to David Chase’s genius and the actors giving it life on screen. By the third time I watched it it had become one of my favorite series finales ever.

[@LaneEaves-b9j]

Excellent episode. It’s absolute madness that there isn’t half a million views on this yet. It’s 17 hours out and it’s around 37k views. I would bet it’s pushing close to a half million within a week. Watching these two legends podcast is a gift for all of us who loved the show.

[@slagatorfantabulous7877]

I've been rewatching Sopranos for past couple of weeks and just happened upon this videocast. Subscribed instantly. Robert (Rob?) and Jamie are SUCH GOOD actors. I usually write off "the kids" in most shows because they aren't usually good actors (understandable) and are often just catalysts for adult reaction to situation. I believed these two from DAY ONE. You guys were fantastic on the show.

First time watching this pod and noticed that immediately - fuckin great production

[@zakkholguin3942]

Literally just finished the final episode for the first time like 45 minutes ago and this popped up in my feed. Needless to say, hands down one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It's really tripped tf out and sweet how these two act like brother and sister in real life. Jaimie looking 25 taking about the 25th Anniversary is great too. Cheers from some dude watching this 7 months later.

[@cloudbloom]

I'm getting emotional during some of this. The Sopranos is my favorite show of all time and this is a great reminder of why, it's because the people involved were irreplaceable. RIP to all the legends who passed before they could be a part of this anniversary🙏

[@PopoMedic]

Huge fan of the pod. You guys are doing The Sopranos community beyond proud.

“Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd was the song played before Tony killed Chrissy. I think that’s why David was confused by the question.

[@livefire81]

What could be more important than the 25th Sopranos anniversary for these two?! I imagine their absence saddened and potentially brought up feelings of resentment for the remaining cast members, even though they'd never express it to them.

[@NVH-hi7wp]

That’s what I was thinking…I mean I hope they’re safe and their families are too, but some of the people around for the 25th anniversary probably won’t be there for the 30th. As much as they gush (rightfully so) about how much the show did for them and meant to them I’d hate to know they skipped this for a fucking podcast.

[@60wwediva]

​@NVH-hi7wp tbh that tells me they didn't get along with some of the cast or there is some secret beef or resentment there they both don't want to speak on. The fact they both didn't show up for the reunion speaks volumes and I'm sure they were invited. It they weren't invited or notified then that says a lot.

[@Webbie2689]

This was awesome. Favorite episode so far for sure. Can’t get enough of anything Sopranos related. Will always think of you guys as AJ and Meadow.

[@LaneEaves-b9j]

lol at the "did you get input on your wardrobe choices?" First thing I thought when Jaime asked Rob that was, 'He didn't want the sweater that Carmela's mom gave him for Christmas but Carmela told him, 'You will wear it and you will tell her thank you!!'" 🤣🤣

[@60wwediva]

It's some drama. Jamie didn't elaborate on why she and Rob couldn't be there so it feels sketchy asf. She could've casually followed that up with "were busy with xyz, family, a project, we're obligated to be here by contract so couldnt make it" they're hiding something and just being nice in general to keep it clean.
