The Sopranos (S3:E7xE8) | *First Time Watching* | TV Series Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@Bigdih]

“You got a bee on your hat” will get me every time😂

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

The actress who plays Carmela's mother, played Karen's mother in Goodfellas. Karen, aka Lorraine Bracco, aka Dr. Melfi. This show loves these easter eggs.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Asia cracking up when Tony pulls up on the golf cart made my day

[@TheJazzper1970]

So glad you guys reacted to the Angie Dickinson newspaper headline, one of my favorite moments of the entire show.

[@doncotton3367]

The scene with Carmela and the psychiatrist is a linchpin of the Sopranos series. He gives her a stark portrait of her reality. He isn't recommending that she leave Tony because he is unfaithful, he's telling her that she is complicit in the crimes Tony is doing all the while she is telling herself that her life is normal and that she is apart from the criminality. She has blood on her hands and has to decide if she wants to stay, knowing she is an enabler taking advantage of the money and power that comes with it, or redeem herself by running and becoming a moral person. In the end she has decided to stay and, in recognition of that, insists on getting the $50,000 from Tony - she has accepted her guilt by getting the money. It is not lost on the creators of the show that we, the viewers, are a little like Carmela. The conceit of the show is that even though all of the characters are awful people, thieves, misogynists, extortionists, murderers, in the end we still root for them. We are complicit by enjoying the foibles and personal struggles of the characters as well as their hideous actions of violence and irredeemable immorality. The scene is a reminder that all the characters are awful, and that we are enjoying watching them.

[@cetilly]

Exactly

[@geneticrex]

Solid take, but for a minute there I thought you were referencing politicians until I realized nobody enjoys watching politicians, as they are FAR more unscrupulous and irredeemable than any character in this series.

[@anthonydinsdale8783]

Amazing insight

[@francisalbert1799]

That psychiatrist was the coldest character in the show lol great scene

[@jgarofalo8813]

He wouldn’t even take her money for the visit😂

[@bg7606]

I grew up where this took place in the 70s. Behind the Mercedes dealer was where my Dad's office used to be. We all knew who was who. One guy used to hijack trucks, and he hijacked a toy truck. All the kids in the neighborhood got free gi JOES and Barbies.

[@angelhernandezrivera6195]

Asia. 1st of all, happy birthday but do NOT feel sorry for Carmela. After her visit with the therapist, she's made her choice. She can simply be bought off everytime Tony messes up

[@blazeparabellum7325]

Have you guys watched Nurse Jackie? The address that plays Carmella is fantastic in it. She plays a nurse addicted to pain meds. It's really good.

[@garrybaldy327]

That guy on the crapper went full Elvis.

[@corinaperez226]

Ralph isn't scared of Tony. That's the problem. He's like Richie. The shoes were in a trash bag because they were stolen.

[@MrPaytonw34]

No psychiatrists aren’t necessarily supposed to say this is what I think you should do. They’re supposed to help you figure it out yourself, but in the same breath, this was an old-school man who seen a woman going through hell and everyone around her sugarcoating her situation. So he decided to tell her flat out, one human being to another, what the pretty obvious truth was.

[@jgarofalo8813]

I’m sure he also didn’t want her for a patient.

[@kovacs88]

You're not a sasquatch Asia! You're beautiful!

[@terryhughes7349]

Fish singing "take me to the river" hysterical.

[@Bonny2478]

Yeayyyyy more sopranos I was waiting for that ! Thanks you guys 🫡

[@DarthRaider520]

Tony was pulling a power move. He's full of them as a natural alpha male. He's portaying to Ralphie that Im in control and nothing you can do will disrupt me. Now apologize and go on and be a good boy. Without even saying it. Even after talking to NY was a dead end. No basic level made guy is worth more than a boss, especially someone like Tony. Ralphie had to come to terms with his anger at this point and his survival. Truly compelling storytelling. Having said that, I love that ya'll put out content on the regular. Truly your grind and I'm here for it.

[@johnclawed]

Sometimes a heart attack starts gradually and makes people feel like they have to go to the bathroom, so it's not uncommon for people to die on the toilet.

[@RaysTrains]

I love when paulie is like let’s wack ralphie right now lol

[@philmakris8507]

Christopher brought the Jimmy Choo's in a garbage bag bc they "fell off the back of a truck" BJ.

[@katscully]

For those who don't know, "fell off the back of a truck" means they're "hot", stolen. 🍿🥂

[@megiloth3634]

I was done with my KZbin watching for the day, then just got the notification...Sopranos time!!

[@jgarofalo8813]

“Just when I think I’m out…they pull me back in”.

[@Thenoisendadark]

Have you seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights? It is a Mel Brooks movie that ties in with blazing saddles and other movies. Been watching your Mel Brooks reactions, it would be a major shame if you missed out on that gem.

[@philmakris8507]

I'm team BJ on this Asia, Ralphie is straight up fronting.

[@vladimirvich468]

Carmella’s visit to the male therapist was one of the realest moments of the entire show. Dude didn’t let Carmella off the hook for nothing. “Take the children, what’s left of them”. Hard as shit. Another reminder to the audience that these guys aren’t just some funny douchebags who commit crimes every now and then but that they are monsters who leave nothing but destruction in their wake.

[@flarrfan]

So many Sopranos reactors rooting for the bad guys...but then, it's hard to find any good guys to root for...

[@C.Bastard]

@@flarrfan It's not about rooting, I freaking hate this moralist approach to works of fiction. Do you guys read at all?

[@flarrfan]

@@C.Bastard Fiction itself often takes a moralist approach, giving you choices of how to feel and react. That's why I watch Sopranos reactors, especially when the series is done, to see what they take away from what they've seen and heard.

[@Cream-2128]

@@flarrfanlol ppl are just rooting for entertainment it’s always been obvious what a piece of shit Tony is.

[@jgarofalo8813]

That line of the psychiatrist was the hardest of the series. He probably said it as a last ditch effort and she still chose herself.

[@stephaniehale3379]

Yes! Glad to have you back watching the sopranos

[@thesprawl2361]

22:32 - one of the greatest musical moments in a show that's full of them.

[@RaysTrains]

100%

[@gwenjackson8583]

I agree. Just perfect.

[@TimParker-Chambers]

15:41 🥴🥴🥴🥴 That's one way to describe Paulie 🥴🥴🥴

[@davidmontgomery4696]

Never disrespect the Bing. Never.

[@fenianbastard6226]

Obviously there’s no shopping bag because he didn’t buy them! 😒🤣

[@vuyanijamamkele8319]

Annabella Sciorra, remember her from Spike Lee's Jungle Fever?

[@darth856]

Great reaction guys. But it was Silvio that recommended bumping Ralph up to Captain. Paulie actually wants Ralph dead. I love that Asia picked up on Johnny Sack playing both sides with Tony and Ralphie. Back in season 1, Livia called him "that sneak from Manhattan". A pretty apt description, actually.

[@DREDAY92003]

Johnny Sac is the Underboss of the New York family so he is like Sil's position even though Sill is Tony's Consigliere which is his advisor. Tom was that in the Godfather. Sometimes they use a go between to settle disputes in other families because he is neutral. Johnny becomes Boss when his boss dies and he is suppose to be a John Gotti like character with his expensive suits. Keep enjoying the show. It gets so much better. Watch the podcast Talking Sopranos with Michael Imperioli

[@TimParker-Chambers]

26:24 Sil's a good consiglieri 👍👍👍👍

[@greghinchliffe9128]

Heck yeah! Sopranos! You guys are the best!

[@greghinchliffe9128]

And being from Boston nice to see bj wearing the Red Sox hat! Wicked awesome!

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

TWO EPISODES AT A TIME!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@61rudster]

Ralph needed to know if giving him the position of captain was earned by merit or was it just bc Gi Gi died and he had to fill the spot.

[@pawanmalviya264]

Waiting for Game of thrones ❤

[@mrshelby4412]

Happy Birthday Asia

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

What was so funny about this one, the second Ralphie is on camera, i watched joy just fade into utter disgust and then Asia said "Ralphie" with so much contempt and repulsion. You're both not wrong either, Ralphie is awful.

[@thesprawl2361]

I thought Richie Aprile was the worst until Ralphie slimed up

[@TimParker-Chambers]

9:44 He didn't buy them in a store, they 'fell off the back of a lorry'... 😁😁😁😁

[@brendonbaroody7397]

Love the channel! You’re In for a treat with this show

[@jgarofalo8813]

Happy birthday Asia! Also loved your dance to the Big Billy Mouth Bass!

[@clayton4917]

20:44 one of the best parts of the saga. Always stuck with me.

[@Knightowl1980]

That Billy bass singing fish was so damn popular. Stupid but it was fun

[@mikeferris408]

THE BOAT TREATMENT... HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YAH! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍

[@GoodFilms28]

Y’all bet not binge watch The Wire. I’m a lose my sh**. Favorite TV series along with Game of Thrones, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad.

[@philmakris8507]

What's going on is Ralphie wants Johnny Sack to putba hit out on Tony.

[@usmarine1]

Watching these with You guys is like my guilty pleasure. Hurry with the next round ! Lol

[@wheelmanstan]

RIP to anyone who gets involved with the men who..are in that waste management business. haha The Sopranos really makes a person anticipate the next episode like no other. There's so many storylines and character arcs happening all at once.

[@badprotocol1105]

So...who's worse? Richie or Ralphie?

[@tkremarkTK]

Awesome I came here about 20 minutes ago to see if you put the new Sopranos reaction up but did not so, I watched your Cable Guy reaction and I am back and see you just put this up. Yayyyyyyyy! Happy Birthday Asia!

[@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons]

For Christmas, you guys really should do reactions to home alone 1 and 2 if you haven't already.

[@jrchapman8515]

Also waiting for this keep it up guys just discovered a couple weeks ago and all caught up waiting for more

[@johnclawed]

It's disappointing when youngster reactors like you never heard of an actor from the past, so it's great to see that BJ knows Angie Dickinson.

[@blackwomangamer2637]

Hahahaha Junior smoothie best moment for me

[@TimParker-Chambers]

46:39 Ralph and Tony are kind of flipsides of the same coin, and I think that's why they bump heads like that: We always hate in other people, the things we dislike about ourselves... Tony's always going to be Tony, Ralphie's always going to be Ralphie 👍👍👍👍

[@troypimenta3883]

Enjoying these Sopranos reactions. BJ cracks up at the guy humor. Already looking forward to the next episodes.

[@cshubs]

IMO, the scene of Carmela and the psychiatrist is among the most important of the series.

[@patdecorvo]

Great reaction👍 Good and fun channel but idk about that sox hat⚾️

[@rogeliocastillo4935]

Ritchie vs Ralphie who wins in a fight ?

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

Although older I think Ritchie would win. I mean you don't see Ralphie bragging about the coat he got from beating up someone bigger 😂

[@rogeliocastillo4935]

@TheCrazyCanuck420 Dimeo never showed his face ones ritchie got through with him,I feel he would do the same to Ralph but I always wanted to see the showdown regardless lol

[@GlennShook]

I think Ralphie. You know who he fights is quite the struggle and that is impressive in the future.

[@TheRedPeril]

I love the scenes where James gets to play ‘I’m the boss’ scenes. He’s only a 6ft guy, but he plays brooding the best.
