Show Notes
This week, Chris, Lily, Paul, & Jordan cover the monumental "Long Term Parking", which is dubbed by many fans as the best episode in the whole series. Impactful and devastating, this penultimate episode of season five won both Michael Imperioli and Drea De Matteo their Emmys. The Tony B situation boils over into "do or die" territory, Tony and Carmela negotiate the terms of a reconciliation, and the three seasons of storytelling with Christopher and Adriana culminates to its brutal and shocking, but inevitable conclusion. One family is made, while another family is unmade. All this, plus some "Born to Run" discussion, suitcase talk, eggs, and the FBI, right after we replace Paul's colon with a semi-colon...

With apologies for the long wait between episodes, Chris, Paul, Jordan, & Lily cover "The Blue Comet", which is a whirlwind blitz of an episode. The long awaited war between NY/NJ is launched and we bear witness to many "Departures". All this and so much more, just as soon as we pack sandals and fuckin' resort wear...
This is one of our podcast's most heavy and also laughter filled episodes as Chris, Paul, Jordan, and Lily break down "The Second Coming". It's a wonderful feature episode for Robert Iler (AJ) as his depression and despair hit a tragic apex, while the situation in New York festers to the point of outright hostility. It's a bleak and grim affair, but still not without The Sopranos signature dark humor and insight into the human condition. We discuss therapy, suicide, mental health, depression, gangsterism, and Lincoln Log Sandwiches. All this and so much more, right after we go hats in hand, bended knees...
Chris, Paul, Jordan & Lily cover one of the bleakest hours of the show yet where we seem to get the answer to a fundamental question about Tony Soprano's true nature. It's an uncomfortable, audacious, and fascinating hour in which we get to talk about casinos, funeral etiquette, death platitudes, and drug-induced revelations. All this and so much more, just as soon as we hand-carry Paul through the worst crisis he ever had...
What does it mean to be a good son? How does standing tall "like a man" destroy some of these characters? We delve deep into these questions and so much more as we break down the mid-season classic "Walk Like a Man" which is a tremendous Chris and AJ episode that ends in shocking and deeply unsettling fashion. Where is it all going? What does it all mean? Buckle up. It's only getting crazier from here. We discuss all of this and so much more, right after we borrow tools from "Mike"...

We're back from the holidays better than ever as we start unpacking the back half of the final nine episodes! This week, Chris, Paul, & Jordan dissect the stylistically unsettling "Chasing It" where Tony's bad run of gambling catches up with him, poisoning his relationship with one of his oldest friends, adding tension to his most heated business rivalry, and further damaging his marriage. It's a wild ride with some uncomfortable moments and dark humor. Also: Phil is the big boss of New York, Little Vito gets rebellious, and Melfi calls Tony to account for his missed sessions. Great discussion about what may arguably be the weakest episode of the final nine. All this and so much more, right after we put all our podcast money on the Jets...
