Hahaha... Good one Johnny Sac

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Vpain90009]

I love that you played the clips from the episode muted with the sound of nature from what you were filming playing over it. Really lets the moment sink in.

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot! I will be adding more Sopranos in the future. I think I will return to this spot with the 4k cam as well.

[@deliverancetwo]

Epic

[@nigelpollock5031]

My favourite episode. Thank you for this.

[@KevinFinnerty]

The snow has melted, there must be Paulie's shoe somewhere... Great job, dude. Thank you!

[@NickP]

haha.. I plan on going back when there is some snow on the ground. Thanks a lot!

[@mihaelb9752]

So must Valery)

[@deliverancetwo]

Oh my goodness I really love this channel.. And you doing my favorite show of all times Sopranos.. Excellent

[@marcot3704]

Talking Sopranos Podcast will be discussing this episode in 2 weeks. It was directed by Steve Buscemi. Thanks for sharing! It’s great to see the actual location. One of my favorite episodes. Valery the crazy Russian might still be there.

[@NickP]

I'll check it out.. This, The Fun House, The Blue Comet and Everybody Hurts (another episode directed by Buscemi) are at the top of my list... Oh, Where's Johnny, another good one... So many quality episodes. Thanks a lot!

[@michaelchowanski3855]

Incredible works !! Thanks a lot !! One most of my favorite moment on Sopranos, love interaction Chris/Paulie

[@LSOreal]

You are truly a filming locations genius. I watch all of them, but you are something else. No idea how you don't have even more subscribers.

[@NickP]

Thanks so much!

[@JMExplorations]

WOW....this is truly amazing Nick! It must be so exciting when you are looking for a certain spot and you finally find it! I know that we have come across some locations where we knew a certain scene from a show or movie was filmed and we were so excited knowing that so and so was right here in this very spot! LOL It must be a pain but so rewarding when you finally hit the spot!!! A M A Z I N G!!!! :)

[@NickP]

J&M Explorations Thanks for the great comment my friends! You know the feeling well. It’s a simple yet great one. It makes it extra special when I find one. Especially when I’m a big fan of that specific movie or show.... You guys rock!

[@Bocephus_92]

I thought I was the only person that loves to play the match game! I find locations on google earth and use the street view to see how much the locations have changed! Very nice my friend. There’s an episode from the second season where Bobbie meets Tony in a parking lot and gives him an envelope, in the background you see a Sunoco gas station and a motel; “The Lincoln Motel” I found it yesterday. It’s 430 Broad St. Newark NJ. the hotel is no longer there but the gas station is but under a different company 😎

[@NickP]

That's awesome.. It's always cool to hear from a fellow "then and now" explorer! Thanks for the info.. I'll be uploading more Sopranos videos in the future!

[@sportcardcollector9599]

Another great video my friend I used to love watching The sopranos I would have about 15_20 of my buddies over thanks for sharing I hope all is well with you and your family during this crazy time's ⚾ big Mike

[@NickP]

SportCardCollector959 That’s awesome! I remember those special Sunday Nights... I would sometimes watch w fam and other times w friends ha. I think Jr and the mother were the two most authentic performers on the show. Jr, Paulie and Chris were my favorite characters. All is still well, Thank God! Hope the same for you and yours!!!

[@stamford70]

Fantastic detective work in finding those locations in that wooded area 👏

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot!

[@rf396]

I'll bet he could track someone from the corn in their shit. Lets ask Carlo

[@jeffairtime3412]

Great footage- watching now! As a lifelong NJ resident I certainly appreciate the scenery (I'm actually just 10 minutes from Woodbury right now-ha)

[@NickP]

Very cool.. Thanks a lot Jeff!

[@eastwood6599]

Great Video!

[@montyrayza7220]

Nick P Was Here - I just found your channel and I love it, keep up the amazing work. I'm a huge Sopranos fan so this is amazing!!! I drove 9 hours to visit The Bada Bing back in 07, real name Satin Dolls, so I'm a lot like you!!!

[@NickP]

Haha that’s awesome! I’ve actually been planing a big Sopranos Location Tour for a while now. I hope to get to it soon. I’ve been to Satin Dolls as well. Glad you found and appreciate the channel. Many thanks!

[@SoCalUrbex74]

Crazy how some the trees still remain from the show, this place at night must be creepy !

[@NickP]

SoCal Urbex I’m going next year for the 20th anniversary of the episode. Haha

[@GiosueMannino]

Most trees live to be hundreds of years old

[@MiloneMoneyMindset]

Another awesome video bro! I was always a big fan of the show! Very cool to see this cut from the scene. Always enjoy your videos. Hope you and the family are staying well bro.

[@NickP]

Milone Money Mindset Thanks a lot bud! Likewise... So far, so good... Hope you and yours are also still doing wellWe are well. Thanks again.

[@MickeyNixonFilms]

You never cease to amaze my friend. Such detail and accuracy. Quality and perfection are just two words that come to mind after watching. Thank you for sharing your gift and passion. 🙏🏼 Truly amazing 💯

[@NickP]

Mickey Nixon Films The Man, The Myth, The Mickey Nix! Wow!.. That’s a very lofty compliment my friend! You’re the best..Thanks a lot! .. I need to upgrade my equipment in the near future but it’ll do for now ha... As always, I’m looking forward to your next work of art! Thanks again!

[@hooptican5886]

Cool you got everything right on. Funny though, anyone who's frequented the actual NJ pine barrens, knows this area in the episode looks nothing like it.

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot! .. I have not been to the actual Pine Barrens yet but I can imagine that being the case.

[@josecuervo1747]

Exactly. The Pine Barrens are flat, the soil is sandy, and they are full of scrubby pine and cedar trees. There aren’t the tree leaves you see all over the ground in this episode.

[@johnvalencia9927]

​@@josecuervo1747 I lived in Wildwood new Jersey from 2006-2008 and I went to the pine barrens often enough. When i finally saw this episode in 2009 I kept wondering why it looked so different. I just assumed they went to a part of the pine barrens I never did, because yes, they're the saddest woods ever.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

What about The Last Broadcast wasn't that actually filmed at Pine Barrens?

[@aful3091]

This was the best video of its type I've ever seen on KZbin. All you had were a bunch of trees but you found the exact spots the boys stood in all those years ago. I always wondered why Chris and Paulie never used the obvious lake behind them to orient themselves, maybe it was a subtle nod at how dumb they really were.

[@NickP]

Greatly appreciated!

[@NickP]

Maybe lol.. makes sense.

[@petegriffin4376]

This video is sponsored by Nathan’s. Always remember to take extra ketchups and shit.

[@NickP]

LLOOOLLLL!

[@ssherrierable]

Lmao

[@EricRoss57]

What a feat! Hats off for the time and patience that must have been necessary to identify all of these scene spots.

[@NickP]

Many thanks!

[@pampennyworth]

Your attention to detail is outstanding. Pine Barrens is one of my favourite episodes.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Definitely in my top 5 along with Funhouse, Whoever Did This, Long Term Parking, and Stage 5.

[@abandonedplaceswithblake8340]

Love the video brother and the editing watched all the way and hit that like great work

[@NickP]

abandoned places with blake Thanks a lot brother!

[@scabootie]

They shoulda stopped at Roy Rogers

[@NickP]

Lolllll def better than mixing frozen ketchup and relish packs.

[@t18amgr]

They must have loved this shoot. Lol.

[@mikecmw8492]

By far the best of any location tubers

[@NickP]

That’s greatly appreciated Mike!

[@8081tk]

Another great video way to line up all the shots and point out the tree branches match the film🤙

[@NickP]

on the rocks entertainment Thanks a lot bro! I wanted to find this place for a while ha. With everything going on, It was the perfect time for it.

[@8081tk]

@@NickP yes its was bro🤙

[@treachx09]

Wow this video is incredible! Thank you for sharing!

[@NickP]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot!

[@littleCarmine]

Perfect video, doesn't quite outshine Versailles but pretty close. Must have been a lot of work so thank you

[@Collectorholic]

Great job. Love it.

[@NickP]

Collectorholic Greatly appreciated.

[@Collectorholic]

@@NickP You got it bud.

[@naomifox9337]

I loved watching the sopranos my fav tv show.

[@floyddarmody81]

Great video by the way. You done your homework!

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot! I think I will revisit this spot again and get a couple shots I missed, this time w the 4k cam.

[@bridroisfat]

Damn Nick. Your not playing around anymore. Outstanding work bro👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot brother!

[@missleeny5042]

unless i miss my guess , this area was already notable for being the Cedar pond campsite of Wm T. Howell and friends back in 1910. Tiorati was called Cedar ponds back then. I like that other people get all nerdy behind this stuff. I'm always out in the woods doing in depth, crazy shit like this. To me, it's very interesting. Thanks. Great work.

[@NickP]

Very cool… need to check that out, thanks a lot!

[@MillerMeteor74]

That's actually the only Sopranos episode I've ever seen. It was a lot of fun to watch. Another interesting one to look for locations would be the Jersey Devil episode of the X-Files. I believe that was filmed in British Columbia, Canada. They also changed the legend.

[@t18amgr]

Excellent video Automatic subscribe exactly what it said it was. Hope you and yours are well in these times. Bless.

[@NickP]

Thanks and welcome!!!

[@NickP]

Wishing you and yours the same!

[@t18amgr]

@@NickP Tk you.

[@wernervanderwalt8541]

"The guy killed 16 Czhecoslovakians! He's a interior decorator! " ..."His house looks like shit!"...

[@NickP]

One of the funniest exchanges I’ve ever heard.

[@holeymattress8128]

wow, you went above and beyond with the research. Kudos to you sir.

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot!

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I realize this was filmed in NY state, but in the real life Pine Barrens there is a tower called Apple Pie where you can actually see Atlantic City and Philly from the top (looking both directions).

[@humanpart]

this is great, love these vids

[@NickP]

human part Thanks a lot, glad to hear it!!

[@jamiecarter9540]

awesome job, loved it

[@NickP]

Many thanks!

[@CityWalks_Estelle]

This is incredible so awesome to see tysm 😊

[@Fernando-mf2ph]

ecxelent work! thanks for sharing

[@NickP]

Much appreciated.

[@Weco-es6vu]

Nice work!

[@jerryatorres]

Amazing...good job.

[@naomifox9337]

You would be an awesome director to a movie how you explain it. Great job how you put all this together with the shots from the tv show.

[@NickP]

Thank you very much.

[@marsradio]

Did you find Paulie's shoe?

[@NickP]

Lol… I did not find the shoe.

[@diogeneslantern18]

It should go without saying, but nevertheless I find it interesting how the different lenses completely change the depth of field of the show. Christophuh and Paulie look so much further away than in reality. I'm sure you must have enjoyed standing in the exact places of filming. I got tingles just thinking about it haha! How far did filming the various scenes take place from the parking lot you mentioned at the beginning? I was also sure that they'd shoot scenes from different angles!

[@NickP]

Indeed lol!

[@BayAreaMike99]

Now you have to do it when it’s snowing to be perfect🤣

[@coolmacatrain9434]

Brilliant detective work, Sir! Regards from Ireland

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot!

[@kylethomson6073]

That is pretty cool. Is Pine barrens a part of N.J. or N.Y?

[@NickP]

Kyle Thomson Thank you... The real Pine Barrens are located in Southern New Jersey. This State Park is in Woodbury, New York.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Drive from Philly to Atlantic City and you pass the Pine Barrens Reserve

[@jeboccuzzi10]

Cool. Thanks.

[@NickP]

Thanks for watching!

[@DJaNJel]

Love it bro

[@stevenlennon12]

great job

[@NickP]

Thank you!

[@redwingsfan3621]

I might be the only Sopranos fan who doesn’t say this is my favorite episode. It is very good, tho! My favorite two episodes are Isabella from season one and Another Toothpick from season three. This one is easily top 10 for me along with many that include Mikey or Richie, my two favorite characters. Both got whacked way too soon.

[@NickP]

Nice, and I agree too soon. Excellent characters.

[@donnje]

Great Nick :) I have a lot of The Sopranos locations but I missed this one :) I was able to locate the entrance to Silver Mine Lake but I can't find the exact location where they shot the scene, can you give me the gps coordinates, please?

[@NickP]

I will try to get exact coordinates by gps.. I do explain in video how to go. It's not too difficult once there. Let me see if I can locate exact coordinates for you

[@NickP]

(41.2944938, -74.0549688) walk up from these coordinates to (41.2950573, -74.0551157) these coordinates. .. roughly around there, you should be able see most of them pretty quickly. Now where Tony and Bobby find them is around (41.2947163, -74.0533156) this area, hard to tell from overhead. Happy hunting!

[@bobbyragolia7170]

What a great episode, all night in that hell hole haha i would of tried to follow my footsteps in the snow

[@NickP]

Yeah lol.. great episode for sure.

[@bigw1552]

What happened to the old abandoned van?

[@NickP]

They dropped it in for filming and removed it when they wrapped up.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

If only you had been able to climb the tree to get the bird's eye view from the shot when Valery disappears

[@AlanG58]

What happened to the van? I hope it was saved!

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Did you find my shoe

[@NickP]

LOL

[@AJK156]

The Sopranos fanbase makes some great videos!

[@redwingsfan3621]

18:11. I agree the Russian Valery probably took the car.

[@NickP]

That was strange to leave it open how they did but I guess it makes more sense overall.

[@BayAreaMike99]

Wb where the van was parked?

[@Joezeppi1]

I'll never look at that scene the same way again knowing all that time they were lost they were so close to the road! Haha

[@NickP]

LOL I know...

[@jasonfallon4968]

How did you know where to find all these??

[@NickP]

Deep online research with a bit of exploring and figuring… And not trying to make myself sound special in anyway but I have knack for finding and matching things like this as well.

[@nymetswinws]

I am surprised so many of those trees and branches still are there after all these years.

[@florikovacs2582]

Great video thank you !!! Go back to Jersey again I text you

[@NickP]

Thanks a lot!!

[@michaelduran3156]

Can’t believe it’s been 20 years

[@NickP]

Crazy, right?

[@ssherrierable]

Is there really gravel and rocks where the van was?

[@NickP]

Yes. If you watch till the end, you’ll see the exact spot. I’m prob going to revisit in the future and redo w my new equipment. Also edit with the split screen shots.

[@naomifox9337]

REST IN PEACE TONY.

[@SAMEntalhealth]

Harriman is gorgeous. Original rights to South Mountain Reservation was denied so they went here lol all still not the barrens lmao they should've just filmed in Wharton lol

[@NickP]

Lol yep

[@androidman657]

pauli my man Türkiye loves you

[@fascinatinglist9654]

You should have stopped at Roy Rogers

[@NickP]

Lol

[@combatshock138]

You think the cold bothers me?! I wash my balls with ice water!!

[@jackcade68]

That definitely wasn't the pine barrens. I could tell that the first time I watched this episode.

[@NickP]

Right, it’s not the real location in Jersey.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Paulie should have gave the Russian what I call a brogane adjustment.

[@NickP]

LOL

[@erics3644]

Bruno Magglie ovah hea

[@HopliteWarlord]

Not bad, but an impossible thing to prove. Firstly, it was snowing and it was 20 years earlier. Nice try, but without man made buildings or landmarks, you can't be sure, trees look the same the world over!

[@NickP]

Watch again, you should be able to tell.. I definitely proved it... Thanks for watching. I'm going to revisit.

[@naomifox9337]

Its a mystery

[@missleeny5042]

not fer nuthin , but how stupid is the audience that never, not once , have i heard ONE person say "but there aren't any pine trees ; it's not the Pine Barrens " etc . These are mostly deciduous woods , lots of oaks. Nary a pine in sight. For people who know , this place (though very beautiful) looks NOTHING like the actual pine barrens. Like, who the hell do they think they're fooling ? DUH

[@bradlott9876]

And what’s your plan.?? Eat ketchup packs??

[@NickP]

LOL

[@ssherrierable]

You should have had someone play the Russian and jump out of a tree

[@nyy190343]

All this cuz the guy was an interior decorator…smh

[@NickP]

😂

[@naomifox9337]

Admited it your lost.
