I love the irony in this episode. Meadow is tells Fin that "Vito Spatafore is a married man, I seriously doubt he wants to kill you". When it was Vito, who pulled the trigger on Jackie Jr
@@JayyJay92 Basically, Fin is scared that Vito will kill him. Med tries thinks thinks is a ridiculous notion...when, actually Vito already killed one of her past boyfriends. Only the viewers know this, though...ironic
@@Night_Owl_Noah Yeah,i'm curious if she would still think it's just a "certain mode of conflict resolution,from the poverty of mezzogiorno..."-when Jackie's life was cut short...Anyway with that brain of his,he would have drowned in some puddle or something!
I noticed that too. He is theone who pulled the trigger on her ex. And I am sure this wont turn out great for the new boyfriend either. This episode made me go WOAH!!
Not really part of the plot so I know why you skipped over it but the scene where Tony scolds Sil for putting Peeps on the gravestone is one of their best scenes together. Fuckin hilarious writing
@@miaouew I love how Tony had to check the paper to be sure of the name himself. He's only scared of the meeting with John he knows he's gonna have, so he doesn't want any other reasons for it to get worse.
I heard somewhere that, at least the first scene with animal blundetto and tony, were filmed in like February and it was actually freezing cold that day. James ended up falling asleep in the escalade while trying to warm up lol.
@@zachbartlett2829 I'm super late with this but there's a video of him sleeping in there and his foot was on the gas the whole time so the engine was just revving lol
something i love is how meadow “reveals her own ignorance” in the scene were she criticizes carmela for being dependent on Tony and uses herself and finn as an example when literally they are also dependent on tony as well.
Carmella is like my mother, she is unhappy and afraid about many things, but none of that is nearly as strong, as the fear and laziness of having to really find a job and providing for herself like regular people. Anything but that.
@@josejpl1 The ironic thing is that, nowadays, such mentality in women is even more striking, since so many women have careers like Meadow, and since mens' sallaries are usually too low to support the entire family. Few men are as wealthy as Tony Soprano, yet so many women are still like Carmella. Both Carmella and my mother (maybe yours too), come from old-fashioned cultures, where being a wealthy housewife was the archetype of a successful woman, but those times are over. I remember even stories from my mother, about some Ucranian golddigger, who managed to manipulate a wealthy Italian man into marriage and sharing his money with her. She portrayed that golddigger literally as a heroine and she whined about why she was not as lucky too. Now I see how pathetic and sad in my opinion it all is.
carmella could have divorced tony and still live good that house was in her name it was worth at least 1.5 millions even if she gave tony half she would still get out with 750k and monthly support paid by tony
I saw someone comment on a “Wire” video that the 2 black guys are actually Omar and Brother Mouzone and all I can say is that thought will forever be canon in my HBOverse.
Exposition. Fin needed to get it in just that instant, not days or weeks later. 😅 it would sure speed things up a lot if we had exposition in real life.
That scene in meadow and finns apartment is always hard to watch, just imagining it elevates my blood pressure. Meadow not believing finn that he fears for his life because of vito, her screaming "you packed a suitcase!", the two of them being covered in sweat, etc
Yeah I was thinking that too. I was like Fuck you Meadow can you not understand the risk this guy is now in ?? Guessing he only proposed to her for protection with the name being the son in law of Tony.
The “two Black guys” is an interesting recurring theme throughout the series. In the first season the hit against Tony was carried out by “two black guys” also
Because it is a MUCH USED reason given by most guilty liars when they are in a corner or are questioned and want to throw the police or inquisitor in a different direction. I like the bravery on this. Shame we all snowflakes nowadays.
The last episode, Made in America, Tony is killed by the guy in the members only jacket who is a hitman hired by Eugene's wife after they inherited millions from Eugene's aunt. Vito foreshadows the members only jacket in a previous episode.
Tony's panic attack in melfies office was one of the few times I have watched an actor completely melt away and truly become the character cause it was so real and you can see the look and Tony's face that he genuinely feels guilty for lying about his panick attack Gandolfini was such an amazing actor there was a video I saw that broke down this whole scene line by line and every facial movement every inflection in every word had so much meaning behind all of it it is my favorite scene in all of the sopranos and man R.I.P to Gandolfini
The interesting thing about Carmella being "stuck" in a relationship with Tony is that she isn't willing to take any chances. As you said, she could very much make a go of it herself. Much like Angie Bonpensiero did - but that would require years of stress and hard work. Carmella is the kind of character who wants all the rewards but no risks.
It's true but also Tony and his jealousy, I mean he literally if she tells him she's got even a crush on somebody. Tony will kill him lol. I mean it's that ridiculous and of course carmela low key knows this. Deep down.
I like the scene with Carmella and Meadow shopping because they both don’t realize how much they rely on Tony. Meadow calls Carm out, which is true. Carmella never made anything of herself, just rode along with Tony. However, same with Meadow to an extent. She brings up Finn as if he is independent cause of his job. But it was Tony who gave him the job lol
One other instance of ‘unidentified black males’ is when Eugene smashes the bottle on little paulies head, and Vito tells eugene he should leave the site and someone should call an ambulance. When eugene asks what the cover story is going to be, Vito says “i think i saw a couple n****** running that way”. Its so typical for them to pull that as a cover story to the police and just exposes their instant racist undertones they hold while simultaneously acting oppressed because they’re italian
I like how the power struggle within the Lupertazi family is like one of the many civil wars in Rome when Julius Caesar died and Augustus and Marc Antony went to war. Blood of the Ancient Romans truly runs in their veins
3:25 After Eugene beats up Little Paulie, the following words are exchanged: “Why don’t you go home you’ve been sick all day?” “What? And one of these civilians calls the cops?” “What? I think I seen a couple uh niggas runnin that way” “Oh yeah, those two guys” Not the most family friendly verbiage, but YET ANOTHER MENTION OF BLACK GUYS.
Vito wasn't blowing that security guard... He was just picking up a salami sandwich he dropped on the floor. His blood pressure medicine... Whatever happened there...
It’s worth pointing out that Eugene smashing Little Paulie’s face with that bottle was a homophobic reaction. Finn carries this trauma as a driving factor over the fear of knowing Vito’s secret.
@@saturdaymorningcereal8325 it wasn't a fear or hatred of homosexuals that motived the attack, it was a fear of losing pack status. Paulie Germani is by all accounts an associate, Eugene Pontecorvo is a Made Man. Associates do not insult Made Men. For that matter, Paulie Jr even defending himself against Eugene would be a death sentence.
@@saturdaymorningcereal8325 you can make a homosexual insult to someone of your own rank, e.g. Paulie Sr and Silv, what you cannot do is make one up the ranks. It's a status thing.
I am rewatching the series in 2023. This is one of my favorite episodes I think. Scenes that make you laugh out loud, other scenes with unbelievable tension. Just so good. Thanks again Kino!
1:30 Tony trying to calm Jonny down at the funeral reminded me of when he tried to calm Carmella in whitecaps, I almost expected him to tel Jonny “my cousin wasn’t there , now let’s lie down and calm down “ lmao
I think Finn instantly knew that Jackie Jr was killed by her family when she says he was killed by 2 black guys so why in the world would he want to marry into that family?
i honestly think finn proposed to her out of sheer stress, tiredness and downright wanting to end the argument, like kino said, they were up ALL night arguing imagine having a long conversation not only at night but an argument that is pretty much probably just going in circles bickering and arguing over the same menial points. you are tired hungry sleepy annoyed anxious and stressed, i feel he was just like fuck she isnt gonna stop im not gonna stop let me just end any and all possible arguments about this and get married it shuts us both up and we get some semblance of happiness
For me, it's one of the funniest episodes. I burst out laughing at so many points of so many characters' reactions. For example, when Paulie realized that Finn is dating Meadow, he goes over to him and stucks a couple of bills in his pocket like he is his son 😂 Carmela crying because of mixed emotions at the end and she looks at Tony who's just splashing water on his stomach 😂 Tony saying that it's like taking a shit at Melfi's office, and of course who can forget "Peeps" on the headstone 😂😂
I just noticed Tony and Carmela are the only 2 people not sweating their asses off in this episode. Tony’s in the pool floating around like the whale that owns the ocean and Carm is basking in the air conditioning that Tony pays for.
I’m watching through the series for the 1st time myself, and I literally just watched this episode yesterday. Watched “Test Dream” today. Amazing timing that I found your channel when I did. Gonna listen to the back catalog and catch up! Keep up the great work
This episode reminds me of that one South Park episode where butters parents and all those people say their loved ones were killed by “some Puerto Rican guy”
Last episode about the old broad and her cringing performance was absolute perfection!!! This was also a great episode as well. Keep up the good work mate. Thank you for your hard work, effort and energy you put into this project. Pure Kino is a brand now 👍
4th time in the episode is when meadow tells the story of Jackie jr being murdered by black guys. The third was when she saw her bf see the mobsters fight at the construction sight and Vito says they blame it on black guys. The only reason I know this is because I’ve watching practically the whole show through RUclips clips. And yes I will watch the series when I can just moneys tight and can’t afford hbo max
The argument between Meadow and Finn is perfect. Reminds me of arguing with Ex-girlfriends that just wont let things go and obsess about keeping the argument going until I would fall asleep haha. It is a perfect scene.
“Hey - Shaggy, go get a bucket and some Lysol and clean my tires, there’s fuckin’ dog shit all over the entrance there!” “But I’m supposed to be picking up supplies” “You’ll be picking up your teeth in a minute!” What a way to talk to a guy you’ve never even met before😂
Stop saying "she's not going to work" or "she doesn't want to work" .. It has nothing to do with that. First off, being a mother is work, you're just not renting yourself to a corporation or owner. Second, it's not that she doesn't want to work, it's that she doesn't want to lose the luxurious life she is accustomed to.
Dude she had a maid, she was even too lazy to be a stay at home mom. Carmela is extremely lazy and entitled. Not only that, but she constantly preaches about being a “good Christian” but knows, and has even acknowledged Tony committing murder, ruining innocent peoples lives, etc. Carmela has very few, if any, redeeming qualities.
@@Ck-gx1oi Agree on your second point. Having a maid for their teenage years doesn't mean she did no mothering, raising the kids, running a home etc. But the idea that if she worked a job renting herself to a corporation she'd be able to sustain the luxurious life she has now is insane which is what this guy implies every time he says "she doesn't want to work". I can hear the Ben Shapiro talking points behind this guys analyses of these episodes.
Man I love your videos. I just noticed something: 1/ the hit takes place, then 2/ the two Tonys are hanging out in Tony Bs backyard, then 3/ Tony goes *golfing* (wtf?) with Johnny, then 4/ Tony confronts that animal, Blundetto, at the Bing. … Then after all that, 5/ there’s the funeral. That’s a *lot* to take place between a murder and a funeral. 🤔
Superb commentary -- this episode has a "Goodfellas" connection. Early in Henry and Tommy's hijacking career, a truck driver whose truck was stolen, comes racing into the diner exclaiming that 2 "Black guys" stole his truck -- thus giving the mob a pass.
Man, what are the odds that the same 2 black gentlemen who made Tony missed his hijacking are also the ones who killed Jackie Jr. and attacked Tony B. and Little Paulie!
I love the irony in this episode. Meadow is tells Fin that "Vito Spatafore is a married man, I seriously doubt he wants to kill you". When it was Vito, who pulled the trigger on Jackie Jr

so this is how Carmela ended working as a corrections officer at the penitentiary
Carm only had sex with Tony as a reminder he missed two installments of expensive gifts, and how great it could be if he never let that happen again.

Fin is the most intelligent person in the series, running away from that family.

I think they prefer to be called "charcoal briquette- Americans"
Eggplant Americans
(Couldn't bring myself to say the actual Italian slang for it lol)

5:02 missed opportunity for the thumbnail :P
4th time in the episode is when meadow tells the story of Jackie jr being murdered by black guys. The third was when she saw her bf see the mobsters fight at the construction sight and Vito says they blame it on black guys.
The only reason I know this is because I’ve watching practically the whole show through RUclips clips. And yes I will watch the series when I can just moneys tight and can’t afford hbo max
She truly has selective outrage. When Tony smirked at a black guy stealing her bike, she got all in a huff 🚲
The argument between Meadow and Finn is perfect. Reminds me of arguing with Ex-girlfriends that just wont let things go and obsess about keeping the argument going until I would fall asleep haha. It is a perfect scene.
“Hey - Shaggy, go get a bucket and some Lysol and clean my tires, there’s fuckin’ dog shit all over the entrance there!”
“But I’m supposed to be picking up supplies”
“You’ll be picking up your teeth in a minute!”
What a way to talk to a guy you’ve never even met before😂
I think I saw a couple Breaking Bad fans running that way!
Ho! Those guys!
Carmela: I want what I am entitled to.
Tony: You're entitled to shit!
Damn good scene.
Not gonna lie, Paparelli sounds like some sort of Pasta.
Stop saying "she's not going to work" or "she doesn't want to work" .. It has nothing to do with that. First off, being a mother is work, you're just not renting yourself to a corporation or owner. Second, it's not that she doesn't want to work, it's that she doesn't want to lose the luxurious life she is accustomed to.
Dude she had a maid, she was even too lazy to be a stay at home mom. Carmela is extremely lazy and entitled. Not only that, but she constantly preaches about being a “good Christian” but knows, and has even acknowledged Tony committing murder, ruining innocent peoples lives, etc. Carmela has very few, if any, redeeming qualities.
@@Ck-gx1oi Agree on your second point. Having a maid for their teenage years doesn't mean she did no mothering, raising the kids, running a home etc. But the idea that if she worked a job renting herself to a corporation she'd be able to sustain the luxurious life she has now is insane which is what this guy implies every time he says "she doesn't want to work". I can hear the Ben Shapiro talking points behind this guys analyses of these episodes.
You've got Tony uncle Al from the Sopranos and then you've got Tony uncle Johnny from the Sopranos.
What you never pondered the Tony thing?
Man I love your videos. I just noticed something: 1/ the hit takes place, then 2/ the two Tonys are hanging out in Tony Bs backyard, then 3/ Tony goes *golfing* (wtf?) with Johnny, then 4/ Tony confronts that animal, Blundetto, at the Bing. … Then after all that, 5/ there’s the funeral. That’s a *lot* to take place between a murder and a funeral. 🤔
Long John Silver maybe?
My reaction to Vito popping up in that truck was priceless when I first saw this episode haha
"oh wow so relatable, fighting at 4am im so complicated and cool"
Superb commentary -- this episode has a "Goodfellas" connection. Early in Henry and Tommy's hijacking career, a truck driver whose truck was stolen, comes racing into the diner exclaiming that 2 "Black guys" stole his truck -- thus giving the mob a pass.
"black guys" lmao
Why is it that “just busting balls” is never “just busting balls “?
Man, what are the odds that the same 2 black gentlemen who made Tony missed his hijacking are also the ones who killed Jackie Jr. and attacked Tony B. and Little Paulie!
