The Sopranos (S5:E1xE2) | *First Time Watching* | TV Series Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@BCHANDLER230]

Come on BJ, you know the Sopranos are a New Jersey family. The actual house address in the series is 14 Aspen Drive, North Caldwell, NJ. There be bears in dem woods, fo sho!

[@kbrooke469]

That's also a REAL house. I grew up about a mile from it.

[@SIRtrizzytreyofcameltoe]

yeah i’ve heard the bear population out there is nuts, especially further up north.

[@raymondmanderville505]

Also, Tony Blundetto is played by the same actor that appeared in Fargo, Steve Buschemi. An extremely gifted and entertaining actor.

[@DREDAY92003]

He even directed some of the episodes maybe Pine Barrens when Paulie and Chris was lost in the woods.

[@dongiano]

He also volunteered as a fireman right after the Towers fell

[@meetyouinheaven]

​@@dongiano I knew this fact but everytime I'm see it, it reminds how gangster he really is in real life. What a hero

[@deborahcornell171]

@davidmontgomery4696 Loved him in "Boardwalk Empire". Heckuva series.

[@newjojosupercutsandmore2489]

My favorite role of his is him playing Kruschev in the death of Stalin

[@philmakris8507]

People don't realize just how rural New Jersey can be. They have a huge population of black bears and deer. In fact along with one for deer they have a hunting season for black bear. Coyotes too.

[@lucianaromulus1408]

As someone from PA, parts of South Jersey are like remote farmland and NW Jersey is mountainous. Its weird to think about but it's true

[@tanyaperez4892]

The Black Bear thing is true here in NJ. Tony Soprano lives in North Caldwell NJ and we get a lot of sightings here especially in the suburbs where there are lots of wooded areas. Lots of people go there to see the actual house and they sometimes have Soprano events there.😊

[@davidmontgomery4696]

Asia: Tony is an a**hole! 😂😂😂 Yep. Once again, an excellent reaction.

[@SMOOVKILL1]

If you smell burnt toast and nobody's toasting anything you might be about to have a seizure or stroke.

The idea that he just had an epileptic seizure at a bad time becomes much funnier when Paulie just puts him down for it.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

Suddenly smelling something strange that nobody else can smell is one of the warning signs of stroke

[@AndrewGraemboein]

love opening my youtube and seeing the sopranos and GoT reactions

[@Letha-Mae]

Dr Melfie is the strongest one out of all of them!! She has been through at traumatic situation and still standing and she isn't scared to tell Tony NO

[@jillthornton5512]

Dr. Melfie is the moral compass of the entire show, IMO. I heard David Chase say on a podcast that he was never going to let her tell Tony about what happened to her, because it would’ve corrupted her character.

[@Letha-Mae]

Nj is more rural than people realize. There are def bears

[@Tallywhack98]

Black bears are very shy… I used to run around my camp in northern Alberta and run right past them.. even if they have cubs you’ll almost never hear of an attack.

[@giodagrate5369]

[@MovementGraffiti]

This season is full of surprises. Yes, we have bears in upstate NY and since North Jersey (where sopranos live) borders upstate NY they have bears too. Exit18 on the NYState thruway and Palisades pkwy is actually called Bear Mountain☺. It's very woodsy outside of our urban areas. We have all the story book creatures-lol-even the witches up here. So glad you guys posted today!

Dr. Melfi rejecting Tony so forcefully and the way he snapped immediately into anger absolutely is the focal point of their relationship and Tony’s childish mentality.

[@dongiano]

Such a great season. For real

[@ecoao80]

i love rewatching sopranos with yall

[@LateCambrian]

That bear is Tony lol…. Lurking outside the house making Carmela’s life a little more anxious….

[@Wang_Monkey]

When Carmine collapsed he said "Can you smell burning?" which can be sign of a stroke in some cases. It's called phantosmia, a smell hallucination . More common signs of stroke are dumbness of the face arms and legs, face drooping and difficulty speaking. Time to call an ambulance if you see any of these symptoms ;)

[@Cool_beansmh]

Steve Buscemi was a nice edition to the show. Cant wait for yall to see whats to come! I definitely recommend Boardwalk empire after yall finish the Sopranos. It stars Steve Buscemi and some of sopranos writers were apart of it. Similar vibes to the Sopranos

[@russvedder9266]

Love Boardwalk Empire.

[@jillthornton5512]

Terence Winter is my favorite TV writer, and he’s involved with both. “Sopranos” was his breakout gig. He was actually an attorney and in his 30s or 40s when he left it all behind and moved to LA to pursue writing. It’s a pretty incredible story! (He also wrote my favorite episodes, including Pine Barrens.) He’s hilarious!

[@lrob5657]

The soprano house is in Caldwell New Jersey and yes there’s actually been bear sightings in that part of Jersey

[@rd30000]

I've heard there's bears in every county in NJ. I don't know how true that is, especially in South Jersey. Then again who knows, there's lizards and rattlesnake in the pine barrens. Weird place.

[@LaCheeserie]

Others have mentioned what the movie is, but Prince of tides is about a man who falls in love with his therapist. That should add more context.

[@garrybaldy327]

BJ on the money with his bear/Tony metaphor. The Sopranos isn't written by fools. And now I can't stop thinking about that old TV show "BJ And The Bear''

[@kennethbrown5164]

Season 5 is the best... many surprises ahead...

[@SurvivorBri]

The show always serves as a reminder that these mobsters are not just bad people. They are pathetic. When they don't get what they want or when someone talks back to them, they respond with violence.

[@TimParker-Chambers]

Prince of Tides is the name of the movie Tony was watching with Nick Nolte and Barbara Streisand

[@cakeisavegatable]

00:10:38 Why did I laugh so hard when Tony said “and now the coffee maker sucks”

[@Kidfrankey]

the scene with the waiter i think was them reminding us how scummy they actually are

[@philburton2223]

Indeed. We already knew they were murderers but the sudden non business murder just reminded us of their psychotic mindset. Waiter killed over tip dispute . People complain about tipping culture & it's maybe true in some situations but not to tip on a $1, 200 bill and a party that big is horrible in my opinion.

[@davidmontgomery4696]

In the 1980s, I was a waiter at a mobbed up bar off of Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. When the mob guys came in, I was very careful around them. They had a legitimately dangerous vibe. I don’t remember ever being stiffed by them but I would have not complained (too loudly, anyways).

[@philburton2223]

BJ they live in NJ & NJ has lots of wooded areas with bears. NJ is the Garden State. We have Jersey tomatos 🍅 The Pinelands, The Turnpike, Pork Roll & bears 😅 The way Asia had her mouth open during the bear scene always so 😂

[@JS-wp4gs]

For the record two things you should never do if you run into a black bear like this are try to climb anything to get away or try to swim. Black bears are great swimmers. You don't want to be in the water with one Funny thing is I grew up in bear country and had more run ins with grizzlies in the yard and while taking out the garbage than I care to count. Smart thing for him to have done would be to back away slowly. Black bears are usually pretty timid as long as there isn't food or cubs involved. Other than that they don't really care about humans as long as you don't get stupid or threatening around them. Most of them will walk right past you and ignore you. Its big cats you have to worry about more than any other wild animal really. Those will actively hunt you and you don't ever want to be as close to one as AJ was with that bear That said, i'd recommend anyone living or camping or whatever in areas with bears to buy one of those cheap plastic kids cap guns from the dollar store and keep it close by. Its loud enough to spook them into leaving pretty quickly and won't harm them

[@gregorycomunale1550]

Another HBO series that was very popular that was playing during the sopranos is Six Feet Under, about a family who runs a funeral home in suburban L.A California. The twist and turns between family members relationships and the deceased clients family and enemies keeps the series plots shocking and believable.

Great reactions. I can’t recommend Deadwood enough for your next series. Only lasted about 3 seasons but, in my mind, on par with Sopranos. You won’t be sorry.

[@kaydantonio3719]

There’s also Deadwood The Movie which wraps things up very nicely after the sudden end of the series.

You can't raise your hand to another "made" guy. They are suppose to take any dispute to the boss. Remember at Chris's ceremony they explained the rules. Not even the Boss is suppose to hit a made man but he can order a hit on one of his own guys but has to get approved by the other families if the person is in another family. And you are not suppose to kill a Boss but John Gotti and Sammy the Bull Gravano did.
