Making "Cleaver" - The Sopranos Featurette

"I thought he said FemBoy" - Christopher Moltisanti

He was ahead of his time

i like how the entire featurette is in the realm of The Sopranos still. Wish they didn't show the clips from the actual show though.

[@ChicagoMonsterPunk]

I agree. Probably HBO’s decision. Typically the kind of shit producers do when they think audiences are too stupid to get it.

[@andrehb]

Yea the actual show clips make hard to believe in the notion that you're watching a documentary

[@DawnoftheDan_]

Cant believe I didn’t know about this till Talking Soprano’s 😂😂😂

[@snookimane2304]

Seriously little carmine is the goat

[@larryzeldin7561]

Me either and I watched the whole series 6 times... sometimes I would binge so hard going nearly 48 hours straight because I just couldn’t stop watching. I also remember like early 2010 give or take a year A&E channel was running episodes and they were so edited. Lol just the cursing was a problem but I can’t imagine everything else... a lot work!

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Bro, I didn't know about Talking Soprano's until a couple months ago. My dad bought me the book. It was the 'No Show' episode with Ray that led me here.

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

the fact that Carmine jr didn't break character makes this that much more golden lmao

[@karadanianoI]

This is a great family, no pun intended

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Everything involving the director, Morgan, was hilarious. Chris: I was looking through a lot of different movies, looking at who was making them. And most of those people we couldn't afford. But one person recommended this up-and-coming director... Little Carmine: ...and that director knew Morgan.

[@copheart]

LOL!!!

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah I'm sure that was improv and it was pretty freaking funny

[@jakubzgutka4131]

- I'm on set everyday - As director, I think it's natural that you'll be on the set What a classic Carmine Jr.

[@sakuraba86]

[@Fareid]

I swear he says climaxic instead of climactic...classic Little Carmine...

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

They could have made a sitcom spin-off about Carmine. Hilarious character.

[@bcmoney5272]

@Jj damn I didn't know that😂but it makes since for him to be based off George w Bush jr. 🤷‍♂️their story kinda mirrors each other when I think about it

[@3hooks781]

@Jj David Chase thought about making a Bobby Baccala spinoff called "The Baccalas". Also mentioned in the Carmine episode of Talking Sopranos.

[@3hooks781]

@Jj I kinda see how the concept could work considering there are no more episodes they can cover once they're done with Season 6B. But Pete Davidson is a weird guest to kick that off.

[@rumble2468]

They could have made a spinoff of AJ working for Little Carmine's production company. LOL.

[@johnnybgoode4778]

most underrated character in the show

[@stackinfiddiessuckintittys2029]

"I think we've had some very good interchanges' carmine is fucking hilarious

"We have gel."

[@gamemast15r]

I wish there was a full movie of Cleaver tbh

[@EbenezarGold]

+Erik Hidalgo Man, no doubt! They should have done an episode that was actually Cleaver, or at least something like that for the box set. A special edition, or something.

[@gamemast15r]

***** damn I didnt even see this!! Sorry but I agree most definitely

[@carmelosgro6413]

I would watch it

[@jgando111278]

@WPLU572 Trunked Radio its what you just watched, vito

[@crackajack913]

Hopefully straight to dvd!

[@lifaz6423]

The Sopranos is such a hot commodity that actually making the movie Cleaver would've been a great side project to do. Whatever has The Sopranos rub will sell.

[@Tony.Technics.1200s]

Ya, I thought the same until The Many Saints of Newark, OOFA! What a travesty.

[@TalentedLMT]

Cleaver would have made more money than the Many Saints of Newark

[@patrickmcclorey]

The banter between Little Carmine and Morgan the director is fantastic. Morgan: "I'm on the set everyday..." Carmine: "As director, I think it's natural that you would be on the set."

[@cubanraider6804]

This turned out much better than many saints of Newark!

[@emilyd6722]

“Every penny is on that screen” made me laugh. Carmine is hilarious.

"This is really like a family, no pun intended." - Carmine Lupertazzi

[@copheart]

Here from the Talking Sopranos podcast where Ray Abruzzo brought this up. They said this was all improv. No script so they just went with it.

[@JohnR22926]

little carmine's face at 5:05 is priceless.

"Danny is from the streets....uuuh of long Island I think" Long Island has some of the richest counties in America and is known for it's high quality of life.🤣🤣

[@Monumentum616]

Ray Abruzzo is a comedy genius honestly

Daniel Baldwin was the star of Cleaver, and it was through that role that I discovered the excellent series *Homicide Life on the Street* , the pre-Wire series written by David Simon. Very good television.

[@samgearhart7351]

Man Carmine Jr. is such a gavone! A stereotypical Gavone with a capital G!!!!

[@diogeneslantern18]

This is so wonderfully meta. Imperioli is truly a wonderful actor and screenwriter. Actually, probably a better screenwriter than an actor.

[@operationlull3742]

this fucking Moltisanti is more creative than spielberg

[@russellbrown7028]

Love the segment where Tony is sitting up in hospital, but still sick as shit, while Christoper forces the issue regarding his dream project. Under normal circumstances, Tony would have jumped up and smacked Chris around a bit. As it is, he just wants his nephew to go away and let him die in peace.

[@hassanigourna]

"we talked about this while you were in the hospital!" "Christopher, I was in a coma."

[@NorwegianDean]

4:02 I mean, is there anything better than when Christopher is being weird? Everyone is looking at the set, ready for action, but not our man Christopher. No, he's eyeing up the director.
