I can see it now...Meadow, with a Columbia education takes over with a deep secret of T's where abouts in the witness protection program--something all the other families want to know since he ratted them out. She has a chauffeur (since she is a very poor driver) who may work for others trying to get that secret which also keeps her safe. She's often visited by a man in a gray Varsity jacket (the same federal agent who picked up T at the dinner that last night he was seen) who is trying to turn Meadow, but has become romantically involved with Carmella and seriously thinks about joining the family in more ways than one. Great ongoing plot, Kino. (I only need a "finder's fee" of cash only in a brown paper bag, with a cut that I'll give to Tony who is down the Shore--ooops)!
This is a great example of how someone has good ideas and continuously expands on them and refines them throughout their career till you make the best version of that thing. A lot of artists do this. Just keep seeing projects through
“Not Fade Away” is a great film! It was one of James Gandolfini’s final performances, and he killed it in the role. He goes from a tough, unsympathetic father to man who slowly starts to understand just how important his son’s passion for music really is.
Thank you for making this video I feel as if no one ever talks about it goes further into Chases past and other works. Unlike creators such as Vince Gillian and David Simon who’s past works and inspirations I always hear about but never for David Chase.
Lloyd Braun, who inspired Chase to write the Sopranos, was also the manager of Larry David and was the inspiration of the character Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld. Small world...
Kino, you'll be known as one of The Sopranos' best analysts & You Tube content creator. We've enjoyed all of your theories and explorations. Even your live feed comparing possible wives from the show and a couple others. That was unfocused as hell, but we had fun. Sadly, Chase lost the plot with "...Newark." We won't even explain again how awful the prequel film was. It's too painful. We recently cancelled HBO/Max because we've watched each episode about ten times. But you know what? The cravings have kicked in and they are powerful! 🎉
Love how Chase mentioned a real guy named Lloyd Braun who worked in television. Lloyd Braun was a side character who showed up in three or four episodes of SEINFELD. I'd be willing to bet that the SEINFELD character was named after the real dude Chase mentioned. Many of the side characters on SEINFELD were named after actual people.
There was an episode of The Rockford Files, I think it's called Jersey Bounce, about these idiots from NJ who move next door to Rocky. One of them is shown on the phone talking to his cousin Carmela, back in Jersey! 😂😆
The Rockford Files is so underrated. One of the best hour long shows of the 70s. And one of the characters in the Jersey Bounce is Butchy from the Sopranos. As is Joe Santos who played Angelo. He was Det. Becker on the Rockford Files.
just for the record as a terrifying woke social justice warrior, the sopranos isn't unwoke so we don't need a woke one :D. I'm all for contemporary takes, who knows when Chase wrote whatever we might be getting. also I hope you end up working on it lmao that would be wonderful. They should just get the best sopranos youtubers all on board!
Oh man…. 3:00 I’m 26, when I was in like 6th grade there was this “young adult” series about a half vampire kid who has a prophecy he’s going to take over the world and confront his dad..some great development over 4 books…and I can’t ever remember the name….makes sense it was probably a david chase adaptation
I don't think Chase should go with a sequel film to Saints of Newark, as much as he should do a limited series maybe one season 10 episode sequel on Tony's way up the ranks.
Can you do a video on the Borgias TV series from England and the border TV series from America and see what the differences in the difference in writing style
I've always thought I was alone in my obsessive love and admiration for this show. It's good to know there are others like me out there. Greatest show in the history of the medium imo.
What would make you think you were the ONLY one into The Sopranos? It lasted over six seasons, was on the cover of every magazine, in stories on TV and in the news constantly. That is the stupidest thing anyone ever said about HBO's most popular series ever. You're not special pal. In fact, you're pretty common with that comment. 😅
The sopranos was already a woke and contemporary show for it’s time, it still has nuanced depictions of class and identity and crime in america, and had heavy commentary on masculinity and mental health. Just the amount that they go over and represent psychology in the sopranos, all the therapy sessions and his fainting episodes and him being open about sensitive topics in his life to a female therapist, would be considered “woke pandering for people who think masculinity is toxic” or some shit today. Woke has completely lost it’s meaning, anything someone doesn’t like or understand is woke now.
@@Spooky_515 I’d love to address your point but it’s literally incomprehensible, liberals are center-rightists who only care about being “woke” and “pc” aslong as it makes them a quick buck, I’d consider commodifying entire civil rights movements and identities as the least “woke” thing a centrists political group could do, also liberal democrats have historically been anti-“woke/pc” and are always on the side of conservative culture war nonsense and anti-leftist policies that directly violate the constitutional rights of people they deem too politically extreme, look at the response democrats had to bernie sanders for example. What is the pc handbook, why can’t you people ever actually point to an example of things being woke or pc while I can point to multiple examples of very overtly left wing ideas in things like the sopranos or the many saints of newark, like the episode where an fbi agent works with a literal mob boss to racially profile muslims as potential terrorists, have you ever actually watched the sopranos or are you just talking out of your ass and regurgitating fox news culture war talking points? Once again woke has lost all meaning and exists as a buzzword to label things politically illiterate rubes don’t agree with.
@@trevorclinton5692 woke wasn’t a childish buzzword people throw at anything that disagrees with their preexisting beliefs or challenges their worldview when the sopranos came out, it was called “political correctness” back then and it is directly satirized in the show, like chrissy literally talks about it in a season 6 episode.
The Sopranos is already "woke" (a term that never had a firm definition yet has still managed to lose all meaning). It has a pretty diverse cast and where it doesn't is easily understood as the nature of the story being told, despite all the on-screen racism, sexism, homo/transphobia, jingoism, xenophobia, etc, all the bigotry is framed as being negative and you're never meant to identify with it with the truly brilliant part being that many of the counters to this come off as disingenuous so to point out the type of people who virtue signal their faces off but don't really mean what they say. It's a show that acknowledges the economic, systemic, and generational nature of crime and poverty, it touched on an often taboo topic of how frequently prominent community leaders sell out the people, touched on the often neglected fact of wealth theft that took place for hundreds of years til it was in it's later phases such as ripping off kid's rights to their music, the plights of immigrants, the difficulty of reentry for the incarcerated, the plights of minority demographics trying to keep their cultures alive in places that demand assimilation or exile, the military, the civilian misunderstandings about the wars, there's a long list of subtle and not so subtle things that these crybaby types that can't shut up about everything being "wOkE" would hate if it was executed differently or they simply weren't smart enough to pick it up from the show - but it's there. A couple of stand-out instances are where Carmella then Tony cry about how "they" supposedly shove homosexuality down your throat, a go-to for the whiners, but in both instances they're meant to be the irrational, incorrect ones in the situation and T takes it even further by being a raging hypocrite that hates male/male but says he's fine with female/female before eventually landing on his own apathy or acceptance of it all while holding it still can't stand because the culture won't allow it. I can't go on but my point is just to say that I'm afraid your script may be doomed.
I read your entire thesis and now feel dumber for having done so. It was like listening to a crack head at a gas station go into great detail about something he thinks he really has a grasp on. In his head, he makes perfect sense. To the sober people listening, it's just gibberish.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219This is ironic since you’re whining about some perceived woke narrative you can’t actually point to or describe but know enough about to say doesn’t conform to reality. The sopranos is woke by any meaning of the word, you don’t hate wokeness you just don’t like seeing politics that disagree with your worldview.
@@muttipi I don’t need a wall of text to prove my point. All your side does is whine about others. You can’t stand up for your principles because they change every six months. Try and explain what “woke” is without insulting someone. Really. Try it.
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Woke originally meant “alert to prejudice and discrimination” but now it’s used by hypocritical crybabies to describe anything that challenges their worldview. Woke has completely lost it’s meaning, anything someone doesn’t like or understand is woke now. Also yeah you kinda do need to explain your point if you want people to understand your point.
@David Wolfish How is being told "choose your own adventure" a good ending to a great show? I'm as big a Sopranos fan as you'll find. I'm on another viewing of the show as we speak (winding down season 2). Still doesn't excuse a lazy, trolling ending.
So, Tony Soprano is pretty much David Chase if he got mobbed up.
Chase ain't big and strong like Tony
@@Werdxpsmall hands, that’s his problem
David chase actually had the makings of a varsity athlete that’s the main difference
@@paulblartmemecop7218 We're lawyers!

Sopranos is based on the real mafia New Jersey family The DeCavalcantes.
“Not Fade Away” is a great film! It was one of James Gandolfini’s final performances, and he killed it in the role. He goes from a tough, unsympathetic father to man who slowly starts to understand just how important his son’s passion for music really is.
I think “The Drop” is a much better film from his final performances.
I seen him in recently in romance and cigarettes, brilliant movie
Thank you for making this video I feel as if no one ever talks about it goes further into Chases past and other works. Unlike creators such as Vince Gillian and David Simon who’s past works and inspirations I always hear about but never for David Chase.
He's a great man, sober in appearance and a bit apathetiic at first but a creative genius.
Lloyd Braun, who inspired Chase to write the Sopranos, was also the manager of Larry David and was the inspiration of the character Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld. Small world...
That would explain the Larry David cameo in the series with Uncle Jun!
OMG, I have been looking for Almost Grown videos for years. This is an unexpected treat. Great content, keep up the good work!

David's work is for him it seems, to explore his own life but with a pen and a camera.

That’s some fun trivia
David did a lot of Rockford files episodes. Some of the best of the series
The Rockford Files is so underrated. One of the best hour long shows of the 70s. And one of the characters in the Jersey Bounce is Butchy from the Sopranos. As is Joe Santos who played Angelo. He was Det. Becker on the Rockford Files.
Sopranos shows how wretched people can be.
Maybe Kino could review another HBO show. Possibly Euphoria?
I wish that Ribbon of Dreams was made by HBO. To be fair The Sopranos made that network.

Please Kino pretty good at it you’ll like it means
Early life checks out
Great video as always
Are the small movies that Hannah Findell done concerning?
Video about David Chase in the movie analyze that and how how did the how to end like that I don’t think they did sopranos
Oh man…. 3:00 I’m 26, when I was in like 6th grade there was this “young adult” series about a half vampire kid who has a prophecy he’s going to take over the world and confront his dad..some great development over 4 books…and I can’t ever remember the name….makes sense it was probably a david chase adaptation
I love Bojack. Thx for pointing out the joke in the end.
Great video, huge Sopranos fan. Always happy to see content I’ve never seen before.
David Chase is BORRINNNGGGG
Great Video and I also believe many saints was a good film
Kino, this is a great video. A lot of points raised worth thinking about.
Thank you for keeping us all.....illuminated.....about David Chase.
I remember seeing a headline of dialogue that Chase wrote about Tony and Carmela during the coronavirus pandemic, have you read it?
More David Chase content is going to be good.
Wow , I’ve always loved Grave of the Vampire , a classic in my opinion
Can someone do a video about why Sil told Patsy to rip off the floor tiles?! Please.
Excellent video on David Chase. Didn’t know some things in the video he’d done.
Yeah, can you do anything on analyze that in the connection between us adults
I liked not fade away. Interesting characters.
He definitely comes across as a genuine prick, but an undeniable genius for sure
The four draftdodgers concept sounds interesting.
I don't think Chase should go with a sequel film to Saints of Newark, as much as he should do a limited series maybe one season 10 episode sequel on Tony's way up the ranks.
Rumor about analyze that how did the same idea as a soprano?
probably the vampire father and son is about narcissism
Lloyd braun lol
Costanza will be furious
Keep coming with the sopranos the content
Did he inspire Blade /Quinlan ?
link thr channel u were referring to
i really enjoyed this
Bro kino is so bias that many saints is absolute garbage
he's not bias, it's just his opinion
Jeremy Bertino
He worked on that ripoff of Horsin' Around, didn't he?
He did
@@tapset I wonder if he thought Tony was a Zoey or a Zelda

God I hope it's not woke....
I’d love to see David continue doing movies and tv as long as he stays away from more woke garbage.
