First time watching the sopranos (reaction)

[@Acjetec]

I love how the movie title "Cleaver" is a nod from Christopher's first kill on the show, when he offers Emil Kolar drugs on a cleaver and a zoom in of it happens after his body falls over. Such amazing writing.

[@passwordprotectedd]

it's also a nod to when Johnny cuts Mr Satriale's finger off with a cleaver knife. which, provides alot of subtext later on

[@nonplayerzealot4]

Elie, I think this epi and Carm’s scene would’ve resonated a little more if you were older than 23. I was 23 in 1999 and I probably wouldn’t have fully “gotten” the raw truthfulness of that scene between married people. That was some brilliant acting and writing. They showed that women remember details about relationships from years back and she also tried appealing to his manhood with the intimate comment. Beyond that, there’s the feeling of growing to detest a family member only for it to be discarded when it looks like they are actually about to go and one realizes the petty shit we all have in our souls when things are normal. Kinda like “don’t know whatcha got til it’s gone”. I didn’t have family members start dying from age and illness until the end of the series. I was 31 and had still yet to feel the pain of losing a sib/parent. The way they portrayed that netherworld T was in was so clever, too. The beacon leading him to his potential going home moment, the dream aspects incorporating what he was seeing/hearing, etc. Meadow’s voice coming from the trees, all of that. The Christan ad/program on the TV in the bar was T having last rites administered to him at bedside. The red stairs down is possibly a ref to Hell. Seems too coincidental not to be when you go back and couple that with Calif wildfires showing on the TV set as T talks to the bartender. I read an interesting fan theory that the bar was purgatory and everyone in there was also dying. Bartender says “Around here? It’s dead…”. The writers put some layers of shit into that whole Finnerty thing. It was like Tony eating a playe of death lasagna. The Asian doctor T saw came thru in the dream as the monks, of course.

[@Cassxowary]

12:06 “what, you speak norwegian?” hah, I see what they did there (Lilyhammer reference, one of my fav shows, which you should do too)

[@trevorgoddard1125]

Didn’t exist yet

[@Cassxowary]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@trevorgoddard1125I know but maybe, idk…

[@pkub47]

Meadow was referenced as the Guardian Angel in that song in the beginning of season 6....now you know why. This is the 3rd she has saved tony. Second time from dying.

[@line.c]

One of my favorite episodes

[@southpaw933]

It’s not supposed to be Carmella’s voice . If anyone , it sounds like Charmaine

[@julianberumen5550]

These last two episodes nail their somber moments. I’ll never forget Tony sitting at the end of join the club and when he says “I lost my real briefcase, my whole life was in there”

[@onepcwhiz6847]

“Difficult, not impossible”. GF2 quote/reference.

[@liteflightify]

It’s kinda ridiculous that season sixA is the only season James and Edie didn’t get Emmy nods. It was mainly due to the new, silly way they were voting that year. But they killed it this season, especially in these first four episodes.

[@Buzza235]

I know you've just started with 'Ozarks' which is terrific but I don't know if you've seen 'Lilyhammer' with Steven Van Zandt (Sil's character) based in Norway. It's an excellent show.

[@darth856]

Last season, Sil said “some guys are better as number-two's”. He was refering to Johnny Sack at the time. But as we see in this episode, the statement could also apply to himself.

[@postshanna]

That Ghostbusters line is one of my favorite in the whole series 😭 😂

[@wowitseligh]

This episode is an under appreciated masterpiece

[@Cassxowary]

“an entire room full of writers and you did nothing” hey, you don’t know that, maybe they started writing good screenplays about it hey 😂

[@Cassxowary]

great one and well said too as always, and let’s see how he gets on from here hey! at least we know he’ll be fine because there’s 18 episodes to go :p

[@anthonycolunga4134]

Tony is not him as in Finnerty but AJ is also not him as in Tony Soprano! AJ’s outbursts do remind me of Tony’s to an extent though. Tony’s dream sequence here is so somber, especially the final part! Poor Sil, he had a damn asthma attack cause the stress, Tony did tell him he has no idea what it’s like to be the boss! 😫😂

[@joepangia4413]

Hey Elie, hope you do another live stream again soon bro. Your peeps miss you! God Bless you brother!

[@mikecardenas8088]

Fun Fact: Vito's wife is real life sister to Lorraine Bracco

[@passwordprotectedd]

lmfao the premise of Cleaver is literally Christopher's subconscious rage against Tony manifesting in a script. I love it

[@jaycobherr8996]

Pauly gives Tony stress even in a coma 🤣

[@innocentbystander1853]

Tony’s crew, namely Pauly and Vito, show their true colors this episode while Tony is in the coma then change their tunes as soon as he’s awake.

[@jobox03]

It's really impressive how much you pick up on with one watch.

[@enriquesegura1487]

AJ is the reason why a lot of people don't want to have kids

[@gregsgoogle2947]

People that are proud psychopaths shouldn’t have kids. Carmela now expects AJ to be an accomplice & tow the line for the sake of their murderous family business. Great mom!!

[@nonplayerzealot4]

AJ was the rough beast slouching toward Bethlehem to be born.

[@SnaFubar_24]

Sil, "What, do you speak Norwegian?"

[@steelydanlover1972]

The budget for Saw (2004) was actually $1 million to £1.2 million. I don't know what Benny is talking about with the $400,000 figure. Actually, David Chase is going to be directing an untitled horror film for New Line Cinema. Terence Winter is writing the screenplay.

[@AllenDM]

This is Gandolfini's native accent. He didn't have an especially noticeable NY/NJ accent in real life. Edie Falco's normal accent is clearly NYC, but she sounds nothing like Carmela in real life.

[@steelydanlover1972]

Melfi knew that Tony was in the Mafia from the first time he was referred to her by Tony's nextdoor neighbour Dr. Cusamano.

[@sunnny819]

yo bro could you post that link to the kennedy and heidi reaction please been loving your reactions im just missing that episode its my favourite one aswell

[@eliemoses]

[@xdguy2569]

Paulie is a master strategist from reading Sun-tazoo, he almost whacked Tony without even touching him. Would’ve been totally untraceable!

[@joseortega7815]

Slow night here at work. Lol

[@1ButtonDash]

Meadow looked like she aged 10 years for this season, wonder how long it was between season 5-6

[@gregsgoogle2947]

In Sopranos time well over a year of time has passed by between the end of S5 & start of S6. Janice getting pregnant & now has an infant several months old shows at least 16 months or more has passed.

[@1ButtonDash]

@@gregsgoogle2947 yea I know I'm not talking about the time frame of the show really but more so her true real life appearance. Physically her body and face changed drastically compared to many other characters in the show. The only other person was Vito but his appearance change was due to weight loss so that's understandable. Meadow on the other hand had a substantial physical change over many other people.

[@gregsgoogle2947]

@@1ButtonDash Jamie-Lynn Sigler was not well in the final few years of the Sopranos. She was diagnosed with MS in 2002. I don’t know if multiple sclerosis changes someone’s appearance but I would guess the medication used to treat it is highly toxic. She’s lucky to be alive. Btw.... today she looks exactly the same as her final years on the show. She’s drop dead gorgeous. She has a very popular podcast with the actor who played AJ. The were best friends on the show & still are today.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

She also had bulimia and would hide bags of barf at home and throw em in dumpsters. Same time, she exercized frantically. She lost too much weight and looked pale and gaunt. Different looking person than the plump dark minx who threw bread at Junior. The show producers gave her the weight complex if i recall correctly. In the post Tracee scene where T tells Mead if anything evwr happened to you, JL was looking quite nourished. The weight loss seemed to happen after that. On the contrary, nearly everyone else came back with 98 pound moles on their asses.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

The quotes about heart attacks visavis Tony also make you wince when you hear em. Sadly prescient.

[@comicallyhigh2730]

It's interesting though, they'd be so similar, isn't it? And I always thought okay, Crystal Monastery. You also got your Chris Moltisanti. What, you’re gonna tell me you’ve never pondered the difference?

[@n7josh911]

Vito’s wife on the show is Dr. Melfi’s real life sister

[@wangflop]

Your mic is turned up too much compared to the Sopranos audio. Been enjoying your videos nonetheless though. There's some really good episodes coming up. Looking forward to your reaction and thoughts on them.

[@biged263835]

A little background on the 6A hate. This was advertised as the last episodes. It wasn’t until very late that 6B was greenlit. So you had fans waiting 2 years expecting huge payoffs and episode 1 focuses an a very minor character who no one cares about. Then multiple dream sequence episodes which a lot of casuals didn’t like.

[@billdouglas8701]

I remember that time pretty well, and that’s not how I recall it. I remember being well aware that season 6 was in two parts. And I just looked up a New York Times article from August 11, 2005 announcing as much: “HBO pushes end of Sopranos to 2007.”

[@Nick-cb5km]

I am way too early and I’m here for it

[@Cassxowary]

hwa-keen phoenix (:

[@nonplayerzealot4]

That reminds me of Paulie calling Baja Fresh “Baw-jaw Fresh”. But props to Elie for even knowing the movie “Her”. Fascinating little movie. I liked the Blade Runner remake, but that was derivative of “Her”. Hate when ideas are recycled so wantonly, but alas.

[@Cassxowary]

@@nonplayerzealot4agreed and well said

[@Cassxowary]

I disagree, we all choose and plan what life we’re gonna have before being born in each life, unless it’s something we have to do, live, etc, we just don’t remember it consciously because we don’t need to, we just gotta experience & learn and grow & evolve and do&be the best we can

[@ReymundoCortez]

Her father was right Carmela went at AJ for something he had no control over. A kid having to worry about telling reporters family illegal business is not normal especially when he is trying to deal with his dad being shot. Parents should never expect their children to cover up their wrong doings. Just because they have to put up a fake front doesn't mean they can expect the same of their kids. The kids didn't sign up for that life.

[@ReymundoCortez]

The voice is completely different voice actor. She never comes out in the show and was only used for that episode. They wanted a woman's voice that had zero connection to him and had never been on the show.

[@theartist359]

Edit: so you just skipped over my comment and hearted the the guy above me lol...aight then! Hey Elie, have you ever seen the movie wrong turn with Faith from buffy? Would you consider watching it?

[@eliemoses]

depends maybe in my own time :)

[@billdouglas8701]

You’ve made it through one of the two hurdles to liking this very controversial half-season. The “Kevin Finnerty” plot is hurdle one; hurdle two is upcoming in a few more episodes.

[@Retsea]

Disagree, the Finnerty plotline is essential to his character in my opinion. Plus that last scene in Join the Club is one of the best endings in the series. Maybe on rewatch the hospital scenes get tedious, but the purgatory scenes are absolute perfection. I completely agree with the hurdle coming pretty soon in 6A though.

[@playermartin286]

Lol are you serious? The Kevin Finnerty eps are one of the best eps in the show

[@billdouglas8701]

@@playermartin286I never said that was my opinion. It’s the general feeling among the many who slight season 6-a…

[@passwordprotectedd]

bro doesn't like great writing

[@corinaperez226]

No, it's not usually the ladies gossipping. There was plenty of male gossiping when everyone thought Ade went down on Tony. That's your age and gender bias talking. Chris can't spell, and JT will be doing all the writing. All the guys are turning themselves inside out to get the lions share of the money, but the ladies are all about the money? Right. 29:10

[@lucasmaldonado8955]

Sharp as a fucking cue ball this guy. No for real. You really get everything in the show. Your attentiveness and ability to connect the dots is impressive! About the scene with the house. If you pause at the exact moment before the pilar covers ‘Livias’ face you should be able to see, that it is actually a demonic face with pointy ears, which could indicate that it’s the devil disguised as Livia. Interesting thing is, in another version of the show that split second has been edited out so that you don’t get to see any of the face. Maybe they did that to add a layer of ambiguity, so one could speculate more over if the figure is actually Livia, if Livia is the devil, or the devil is Livia or maybe a fourth. Anyways. Love watching you getting blown away by the show. Have a good one.

[@eliemoses]

Much love really appreciate it 🤝
