A Sit Down With The Sopranos - Featurette

I do not own this video.

[@E.Johansson]

10 years after the show ended and I'm still watching clips and documentaries about the show.

[@oclarke31]

David Karlsson me too buddy. Changed my life

[@cherrybarb4651]

Me too! I wish I could erase this show from my head and watch it all over again, new.

[@lloydlanglois7958]

I keep re-watching the series, much to my wife's dismay...

[@rulinghabs]

Cherry Barb we can make that happen

[@LizzzleeeDizzzleee]

Cherry Barb 😂😂😂 thats so funny but so true 😂😂

[@varinavonstefan8669]

There will never be a show like this again. Simply the best

[@gusdee4844]

Yeah it's sad unfortunately. A show like Empire gave me good vibes like this show but it got wack and repetitive really quick. Never happened with sopranos.

[@peteluis2849]

I guess we're going to have to wait and see how the prequel is but I look forward to it

[@milanm573]

Breaking Bad is almost as good

[@Despond]

@PAbcentral All great but Sopranos had the best script filled with 24/7 non-stop quotes.

[@bonesthekid7695]

Your so correct

[@iaintmadatcha]

Wow James sounds and looks completely different to Tony. Just a testament to his brilliant acting ! RIP JG thanks for giving me something to watch for life !

[@malikhussain990]

Sopranos is the best mob story telling Movie of our time R.I.P. too a great man and a mob boss ❤

[@michaelbonica5614]

Yeah he does. His town is more north central than newark jersey city etc if he was from a more north eastern city he would have sounded more of that that tony soprano accent. Jersey city and bayonne have that thick nj accent. Believe it or not it losses its flare just going a couple miles south west. Not trying to sound like im using a compass but its true.

[@SiccDeville]

you should hear Aide talk on her podcast without the accent. mind blown.

[@chadmichael03]

He's a lot like that guy Kevin Finnerty

[@saeedajaib]

@@naynay1139 Of course what was on the page was brilliant but James brought so much nuance to his performance. He could display happiness, sadness and anger in a matter of seconds and you could see those wheels turning in his head. Just beautiful to watch. And a privilege to see him every week on your TV in your living room.

[@NickAnthony1999]

Michael Imperioli gives you the best description of the show.

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

He's a writer in addition to an actor. He also seems not only to have a huge love of film but massive knowledge of it as well. He's definitely one of the most artistically educated on the show

[@stephenstuckey]

Hes an amazing actor. Good in everything he does.

[@bogey3170]

watch Talking Sopranos podcast, hes very articulate. Give it 10 eps and then it becomes a weekly tradition for me. Almost done with all the eps

[@claymac7895]

Tony chasing AJ up the stairs kills me. The brilliance of this show is never ending.

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

It's pretty funny...

[@jarettbousquet4701]

Every interview I’ve ever seen with David Chase he seems so grim and humorless lol

[@CJLOVE23]

I know! Sort of like Lorne Michaels

[@almightytwee1188]

It’s his quirk, he’s incredibly brilliant, with all that comes with it.

[@80xlulz]

He looks like a heavy introvert... He's too focused on explaining the recipe for his script, so there's little room to joke around for a guy of his nature.

[@thisfingofours]

When you consider ‘Livia’ was based on his real mother, it’s kind of a miracle he’s even able to communicate at all. Let alone write the greatest TV show there ever was!

[@Despair505]

Which makes even better the fact that The Sorpanos is one of the funniest shows ever

[@mdjones4]

Kevin Finnerty

[@leegsy]

He smacked me in the mouth!

[@O.G.H.]

leegsy did you see that?!

[@SerraPontosSoc]

Lose your arrogance

[@bornyesterday2994]

Heaven infinity

[@JSweez87]

So many people hate on that episode but I always loved it. Especially when the ending finally came.

[@MplsGal1975]

I got Amazon Prime a couple of months ago, and SCREAMED when I saw the entire series of the Sopranos was on there. I'm on the last season, and I just don't want to get to the end. This is the best show ever. I was sad when it ended, and ever more sad when JG passed.

[@alnosaints]

Dain Velishek me too I’ve watched it several times. Dexters on too. But after season 3 it sucked

[@bellmeisterful]

Yep I agree 100%. I still watch it here and there to this day.

[@JSweez87]

You should go back and watch it again afterwards. You'll catch so many little minute details that you hadn't before. I've literally watched it beginning to end over 10 times and always seem to catch something. Best show and character/actor of all time.

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

THE JACKEEEEEEEEEEEET

[@bokehintheussr5033]

Its credit to Gandofini as an actor that he seems like a very different person when interview to his character... all the other's seem the same as their characters: same mannerisms, same way of talking etc... gandolfini was completely different... his whole face looked different when he was acting.

[@gusdee4844]

Tommy Two-shoes yeah sometimes that shit ruins it for me lol

[@nathandoughty6131]

That’s when you realise how great of an actor he is

[@laxin221]

The guy that plays Christopher is a lot different in real life as well. He's even said he doesn't like watching violent movies.

[@alrom125]

He was in a movie called the Last Castle with Robert Redford. Completely different character with zero accent. He was amazing in that movie as well.

[@wolfy9549]

If any of you haven’t seen this show or are contemplating it, just do it, you will have done yourself a huge favour. This is one of humanities masterpieces

[@Ingens_Scherz]

It's pretty painful to imagine what James Gandolfini would have gone on to achieve by now had he been blessed with a full measure of years. He was 51 when he passed. That's a terrible pity.

[@dukes1993724]

Yea ultimately he died on the floor by the pishadoo

[@granth81]

Chris Seymour yep true. He had years after the show to lose the weight but instead he got even bigger

[@231994C]

@Chris Seymour Man, I always wondered myself that...about that stress on the show, he's always yelling and fighting, and pissed...and I always wondered "is it real?" I mean, like for real? Cause if It's real his blood pressure must be high as fuck and he could pass out on the set, you know? Or can actors act pissed but deep down they are relaxed? I always had this curiosity.

[@brandonfromkc2815]

@Chris Seymour And still lived a better life then you'll ever dream of! Lmao troll

[@myleague90]

Well, when you keep neglecting your health eventually it will catch up with you. He is greatly missed though.

[@BCS1105]

Watching and listening to Galdofini in interviews is so odd. I’m so used to Tony’s accent and the way He talks but James was so intelligent in the way He spoke. RIP.

[@gmont5082]

David Chase understands people... I heard him say "people go thru life thinking they are right about everything"... It blew my mind cause its sooo true how most people arent happy and living the life they wanna live but they go thru life winning every argument and convincing themselves that they are smarter and better then everyone else... LoL.

[@lucygirl4926]

I'm raptly watching this in 2017. James Gandolfini is long gone. SOPRANOS will never be back on TV. And yet, it's as interesting today as it ever was.

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

It really is. I've been watching clips for 3 weeks now

[@TheRealDarrylStrawberry]

i bumped into Gandolfini in Toys R Us in union Sq. Nyc. Iwas 11 at the video game checkout with my dad and literally bumped into him. he said sorry...TO MEEE (lol) and i said loudly "Hey dad thats the guy from the show you watch" And my dad of course blows it and says "ohhh mann are you Tony Soprano?" lmao and he said "yes, yes i am" and shook hands. A lovely guy. The next day 9-11 happened, two days later Gandolfini was pictured in the paper riding his bike at ground zero...wearing the same exact outfit from Toys R Us....flip flops, cargo shorts.

[@mohammedhussain4907]

Only Livia could make David Chase laugh

[@cmcproductions26]

Each and every one of these actors, are incredible. Michael imperioli seems like he's somewhat still in character when interviewed here. Steven Van Zandt as Silvio, really blew me away throughout the entire show. I can't even believe he hadn't really acted before this show. He was such a natural. He had everything down. The mannerisms, the walking, the facial expressions, the speaking. James Gandolfini has me mesmerized. He looks WAY different than Tony. When he's in character as Tony, even his eyes look like they take on a different shape. It's weird, but that's just how gifted of an actor he was. It's such a shame that he's gone. He should be here with us.

[@justinsane3909]

That picture of Nancy on David's wall...amazing.

[@adamcaylor2355]

2020 and I'm watching Sopranos for the first time. It's gained so much popularity again because of people staying at home, that it sparked Steve and Michael to do a podcast. I absolutely love it.

[@aaliyahwilson8392]

This will always be a timeless masterpiece

[@Trollseeder]

Gandolfini was amazing as he really played Tony. It wasn't him, but he made it happen... when you hear "Chris" you can tell he's closer in real life to his character. James made it happen like magic.

[@shinchan5031]

Mike Imperioli is actually NOTHING like Chris. Watch the Talking Sopranos podcast. But in this clip, you are right - he seems like he is in character haha

[@Trollseeder]

Shinchan dude i recently saw interviews with him and you’re 100% right haha

[@laxin221]

Yeah Mike is nothing like Chris in real life. I remember him saying in an interview that it made him physically sick to see violence.

9:30-9:55 chris: it may sound crazy but people see their own lives in these characters.....chris my freind i think everyone related to most of the characters in some way and every man definitely related to tony..coz it showed the inner goings on of the man in his daily life..sopranos was done the best..best ever

[@chicagobullsfan03]

al muslim i related with Tony and Aj. The suicidal and depression aspect of the show. It helped a lot

[@oclarke31]

[@jaimebrittain9508]

[@aprilbrowning7872]

RIP TONY soprano never be replaced as TONY or as an actor never forgotten gone to soon

[@richardhoepfner1633]

I watched the whole series on HBO and I have the complete DVD set that I watched twice, but I never saw this short. Thanks for the up-load.

[@michaelsaintjude]

Today is 06/30/20 and I am more taken by The Sopranos than ever before. Yes, I was in my mid to late 20s when HBO was airing The Sopranos, I even have to admit back then sometimes I felt The Show was slow, but now i'm 51, My own baby girl is grown and been married for 5 years. I have two grandchildren now. Guess what im trying to convey is how much my daily struggles have something in common with the show characters. No, im no mob boss but yes, its a daily grind to take care of our responsibilities, which poses the question every man who was born poor or middle class has asked themself; How far would I go to put food, clothes and shelter for our families, not to mention if you have a boy who wants to play ball and needs money for cleats and cups, Or what about having daughters who may want to cheer or sing choir just like Meadow? So when Michael Imperioli said how these gangsters have to hustle just to have the average life, I can honestly say I do relate, as i'm sure many other husbands & fathers have. Yes, to this fella, I have a whole new appreciation for the entire cast and especially David Chass who without him, we would of never got to know "The Late Great Tony Soprano AKA Jimmy Gandolfini" BTW, to all Soprano fans out there, David Chass said in a on camera interview "if you need help to understand what the cut to black on final episode "Made In America" means, then look at the last three episodes, its all there.. And if Ur able to understand the symbology from the entire series? then that makes it a bit easier to grasp the ending, In other words Tony was shot dead in the dinner. It even goes a step farther and shows Tony's soul is left in limbo inside the dinner, because all he wanted before he died was to see his true inspiration for all he did and sacrificed for, and that was to get a glimpse of his LOVING, MATURE DAUGHTER that he knew he didn't have to worry about as if he may have failed as a husband to Carmela, but he got it right with Meadow and wanted one more glimpse of her before he died" For a much better explanation then mine, search "Final Episode of Sopranos explained" right here on YT. R.I.P. James Gandolfini Sep 18, 1961---June 19, 2013

[@mikeharman797]

Very well said. I too watched in real time and thought it was slow moving. Just started rewatching a month ago and it flows perfectly

[@just-dl]

the fact we can love and hate the same characters from show to show indicates they NAILED the human element.

[@adamjames6763]

Binged the entire series in 3 weeks for the first time and now I'm watching everything online about the sopranos lol

[@gabos7892]

RIP James Gandolfini!!!!

[@pr9094]

Meadow mentions having to parallel park behind this van when they talk about her getting her license and that last scene of the shows finale she still has trouble parallel parking

Rest in peace to the Great Tony Sirico and James Gandolfini

[@jennalud4748]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊🕊

[@JSweez87]

I'm rewatching the show for probably the 20th time and it's still as great as ever. Idk if any show will ever be as good, in every aspect, as The Sopranos. There are some really good, classic shows out there today but there's just something different in The Sopranos that I haven't seen anywhere else, and I watch everything. Can't wait for David Chase's new movie, semi prequel to The Sopranos about the Jersey riots. Really hope he gives us some good Johnny Boy Soprano and young Junior scenes. R.I.P. Gandolfini

[@DanielleLenae222]

James Sweezey Me too. I’ve even rewatched the whole series and only waited a month then started it again. It’s genuinely soothing to me when I watch it- like hanging with old friends. It’s hard to explain to someone who isn’t a fan. They’re like, “so watching a bunch of sociopaths makes you feel better?” They just don’t get it.

[@davidd4696]

i agree, to some agree the show is relaxing in a weird way.@@DanielleLenae222

[@Davidsoul315]

Having been a person who's lived on the fringes I saw the nuances injected into the Sopranos. The writing was amazing and so real.

[@scdevon]

I'm from that part of the United States originally. While the show is dramatized for television audiences, it is an accurate representation of the kinds of rackets, feuds and family squabbling that goes with that culture. A+ all the way.

[@mscarolynnigro]

I deeply miss this show and still cannot believe James is gone.

[@REVIVALFitness]

Lorraine nails it when she says "there's no weak link." Everyone on screen crushes it in every scene, you get immersed immediately.

[@lisaevans5316]

Thank you for sharing this. I miss the show terribly, and so sad about Jim's untimely passing. I think part of why I like the show so much is the dark humor, but also because I can vicariously live out my imperfections without being cruel or criminal. 3 best shows ever IMO Sopranos M*A*S*H All in the Family

[@AA-qb7ni]

All I see is Tony not James when he's talking. That's when you know he's an incredible actor. Rest in peace.

I just finished watching the series, what an amazing piece of work. It goes right up there with The Wire. Magnifico

[@CJLOVE23]

This was such a great little mini doc. If this was 8 hours I’d watch the whole thing without stopping. The Sopranos will go down as once of the greatest shows in television history and I’m glad that I was around to see it

Thank You James. I watched the Sopranos years after the show ended and I always looked at this as a "dark" comedy. The Sopranos is hilarious. When I told people my view, they would give me the evil eye. So what, it's just a show but a ton of people to this show to heart. Still do.🤦

James was attracted by the humor and David was annoyed about the comedy so he upped the dark shit. Poetic.

[@lorrainesteele5826]

BEST SHOW EVER. I still binge watch different seasons. I love the physical fight they show above. Carmela though, she nailed that character. Always wore same jewellery throughout each season.
