Also when Christopher shoots the kid in the foot and says "it happens" is a reference to Goodfellas. The actor who plays Christopher was the kid, Spider, in Goodfellas who gets shot in the foot.
Christopher wasn't freaking out as in scared at the end. He was excited and happy that he was recognized.
I knew someone would point this out, but I checked to make sure.
Chris didn’t take all the newspapers because he was “freaking out.” He was proud that he finally got some “print” and recognition for his accomplishments (crimes).
He did-dent!
Christopher wasn't freaking out when he saw his name in the newspaper he was actually happy about it because he wants to be known as a big bad mobster and make a name for him self. That's why throughout this whole episode he was talking about finding his ark.
I loved the Sopranos right from the off.
It got more and more popular after each season but Seasons 1 & 2 are excellent IMHO
David Chase based Livia on his own mother, but named her “Livia” after Livia, the scheming, evil mother of Tiberius in the book/TV series “I, Claudius”
Surely by now you see Tony's mother leads Junior around wherever she wants him to go, even against her own son. It's not a spoiler to say you can see where this is going and who she is inside
The only problem watching episodes of The Sopranos, with all those scenes sitting for dinner with that great food always makes me hungry! 😉
There are no bad seasons of The Sopranos. Season 1 has some iconic episodes, like the College episode and should not be dismissed. But I will agree that the show gets better and better each season as the characters develop more fully.
The Series finale sucked though.
@@menotyou8369 sucks to be you

Tell me again, how wrong you are.
Then I will tell you the things you have missed in this brilliant piece of cinema history.
Beginning intro you still see the Twin Towers, pre 9/11. After the 3rd season they use a different shot .
10:54 - One of the best exchanges in the show and pretty damn good advice, really.
With the beard thing. I believe the old stories of nails and hair growing still after death is actually due to the skin contracting, revealing hair that was actually under skin at the time of death and making it appear that the nails have protruded out more but in reality it's just the skin of the fingers has gone back and the nails do not shrink.
Without the energy your body commits to those processes, there's no possible way that hair and nails could grow after death. But it's easy to understand why people may have assumed it witnessing the events without fully understanding how we decay.
I think the hair & nails growth thing makes sense to so many because people know hair & nails are dead cells. The cell graveyard in a way. So when you die & all of your cells are dead it seems logical your cell graveyard will continue to grow. How all those dead cells get to your nails & head after you die isn’t what people ask themselves. If they did they realize it’s impossible for your body to move anything when every cell is dead.
editing is on point in this reaction
Driving over that Bridge the song is just stuck in one's own head.
The scene from around 20:37 in this video, every time I watch this episode I can't help but laugh out loud! I love the facial expressions on Sam the Melfi's family therapist at 21:10, Bloody brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Queria apagar sopranos da memória pra assistir de novo pela primeira vez
Good review its like watching a great show w a great friend
Thank you so so much for releasing these on RUclips.
All I know is about halfway through season 1 I was hooked!
Pffft! I loved it since day 1.
I love when Tony says, “maybe you’re depressed” and Christopher says, “I’m no mental midget” and then it cuts the Tony’s face because the implication is that Tony must be a mental midget.
according to chris…
Legal movie 2010 Conviction. This is a true story of a woman who was a high school dropout and becomes a lawyer to free her brother who was wrongfully convicted of murder.
@raramonty5217
I just watched that a couple of weeks ago. Very good movie indeed. Excellent true story.
I like Hilary Swank but Sam Rockwell was really top-notch. He always is.✨️
20:47 nice edit 👍🏻
Great callback to Spider getting shot in the foot in Goodfellas when Christopher (Michael Imperioli, who played Spider) says, “it happens.”
Livia is such a horrid human being. You forget sometimes how truly awful she was. She knows exactly what she is doing.
Christopher wasn’t freaked out - quite the opposite he was very happy to finally see his name in print / get recognition and street cred.
It’s great you are always looking for the deeper meaning. Perfect attitude for watching this show. It gets so deep in many episodes it will take you days to sort it all out.
But you are getting off track a little about Christopher. He said a very defining line about himself you need to remember. “The regularness of life is too much sometimes.” Boredom to him & other mobsters feels like suffocation. Like a shark if they stop moving at a frantic pace they feel like they will die. That’s the horrible feeling Chris has inside his body he was trying to explain to Tony. In reality it’s very intense anxiety few can imagine.
Chris doesn’t have a learning disability. He can’t spell because he doesn’t have any real education. He wants to be known so bad he’s happy his name is in the paper. He thinks his arc is defined by how many people know & respect him. His interest in writing demonstrates he has other interests that are legal he could pursue. Actually they all do. But they chose this life instead. Why?
7:56 - Did you catch the little reference to "Goodfellas" there?
Spiders' revenge! lol! And can I see some ID? I don't think you're a doctor (or a pilot.)
I thought _you_ said I was alright, Spider.
MARY! Adding Elder Scrolls:Oblivion music to the reaction at 09:54 REALLY messed with my head! I had to open Max and go to the scene to see if that actually happened.
For the record I LOOOOOVE Jeremy Soule.
(I wanted to start this comment with "Jesus, Mary" but I just couldn't 🤣🤣)
Weird article. Season 2 is the strongest of the series.
Ah yes, the first appearance of Vito - sorry, "Gino."
NPC music and a "Oh godver!" that caught me off guard. That's a like for sure :)
The editing is so funny. The skyrim music got me.
Francis Albert is Frank Sinatra
Francis Albert Sinatra
John Gotti also the Teflon Don was the head of the Gambino family in New York and shall we say..a very outspoken and public character. There is a brilliant movie about him from the 90s which I urge you to watch (with Armand Assante)
Great callback to Goodfellas with the "it happens" comment, lol!
17:59 Frances Albert---SINATRA
The thing I would say is that Sopranos became *great* after the first couple of seasons - IMO, it starts with the last couple of episodes of season 2, and from that point on, every season is great. Until then, the show was really good, but you have no indication of how great it truly becomes if you just watched season 1 for example.
I'd like for you to react to "Justified"
19:13 Ed Sullivan impression.....an American TV host
haha, love the Skyrim scene edit
❤❤❤
That's not a true statement.... good after 2 seasons? I was hooked after the first episode....
it’s true for her, to each their own
@@Cassxowary - It was an article that said that not her. It's bullshit
6:38 hey 🤨 I don't come here to be attacked 😂 jk mate, I come here to support the channel and I'm gonna upgrade the patreon next week 😬 i broke
Actually I think you may have it backwards- There are a lot of Sopranos purists who think the first two are the only good seasons. Personally, I think season 3 is also good, but the downward trajectory is definitely underway by season 4. (Not that there aren't good episodes after season 3, they just get fewer and farther between, and the overall story arc isn't as good)
2nd season clearly the best
What happens with the Sopranos is that you become invested in the very real seeming characters over time .I don't watch TV shows . My wife had been watching the Sopranos and telling me how good it was , but I didn't believe her . I finally agreed to watch one episode with her . That episode turned out to be " The Pine Barrens ' , the funniest one in the whole series . I was hooked . I think TV shows are almost entirely crap just like Hollyweird has been for close to 30 years . I have been boycotting Hollyweird for that long and I refuse to watch any movie made after the year 2000 . I love that you are reacting to a lot of the GOOD old movies .
HINT: dream sequences are the subconscious of each character. Mostly of Tony tho.
Watch again, with this in mind. Everything starts to make a little sense. "little" being the key word.
As the Soprano stories unlocks many levels, of the viewer's personal philosophy. What you see now, will be different in months or years from now.
It's that good.
Question: Why was Carmela & Ade in Chrissy’s dream dressed identically in all white while on their knees & randomly replacing each other??
If you chose to answer you have to do it in words that only draw on the episodes seen so far. Can’t reference future storylines for obvious reasons.
@@gregsgoogle2947
A very good question, for sure.
You must view the dream in its entirety.
He killed Email Cola. Email haunts Chrissy's subconscious. It's his first hit.
Keep in mind, Chris was sitting in front of Satriale's when he told Tony, he was going to "do" something. Tony agrees.
In the dream, Chris is in a butcher's coat. An employee. He sees Adriana dressed in a white form fitting top. On her knees, while a hand is feeding her a large sausage. Phallic like. So, an erotic fantasy.
White represents death, remember?
The hand feeding her, is a part of a corpse, chopped up at Satriale's. The body part is mixed in with cuts of pork. Suggesting the sausage is made of human remains.
Chris, surprised, calls out Ariana. Cut to Carmela, on her knees, wearing the same top, feeding on the pork sausage. But here's the plot twist, Carm is Dicky Moltesanti's cousin. So, another element is mixed in on Chrissy's fantasy. (you decide if this is valid) Obviously, the confusion and guilt Chris feels haunts his dreams, and therefore is in his waking thoughts.
Email appears in Satriale's as a customer. He asks for a ham sandwich. He then presents the four slugs. One in the butcher's block, three in his head.
Evidence of Chris's crime.
@@robertlee4172 Excellent analysis. Especially being so detailed & not using any future storylines to back up your thoughts. I don’t think I can do that well so I’ll add just a few ideas.
Even though Ade & Carm we’re dressed in a way that hinted sexuality... I didn’t think that symbolism was sexual. I think that’s just how Chris sees all women at his age. A woman wearing tight clothing is the only image of a woman his head can conjure up. When he said “Adriana” his voice sounded concerned or worried... not sexual. Deep down he doesn’t want Ade to be another Carm. A boss wife.
Both Ade & Carm looked more like zombie slaves the way their hands & body were positioned. Especially Ade. Carm did give Chris an odd look. Not zombie like. As if she was saying something without speaking. Seems like her eyes were saying “Don’t let Ade follow my path & be another me. It’s like being dead while alive.” Hence the white clothing with zombie like body language.
Compare some dream scenes to what Chris was living out this episode helps decipher dreams too. In his dream he’s a timid employee. In the bakery he’s the raging customer. Email talks to him just like the bakery guy did. In either position, employee or customer, Chris never gets due respect.
Email orders a submarine then changes the meat to Black Forest ham. From this & the bullets he’s shown & being warned he F’d up Chris thinks he has to move the body. Email was buried in a watery grave like a submarine & needs to be moved to dark forest because there’s physical evidence around.
The hand that grabs Chris at the end is probably Tony’s hand. Could be Sil. It’s someone above him pulling him back in. (“Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in”).
The underlying message I got was deep down Chris wants out of the mob & wants legit income. He doesn’t want Ade to be like Carm... a living dead person. He interprets his dream only as a warning he may get caught. That’s all. The other messages he doesn’t get... like every personal relationship with a mobster means the woman is also eating at the trough of humanity & they will become oblivious just like their husbands are to all the pain & suffering they help create.
@@gregsgoogle2947 " Email was buried in a watery grave like a submarine & needs to be moved to dark forest because there’s physical evidence around. "
WHOA! I didn't see that one.
Kinda reminds us of the bodies he had to dig up with Tony B on Uncle Pat's farm.
I also like your point about Chris wanting to live a mobster free life. Like the time he suggested he could move to Las Vegas to write screenplays. But Tony "pulled him back in" during Meadow's graduation party.
As the son of a mobster, Chris was surrounded with these criminal types. His mother Joanne was a Blundetto, niece to Uncle Pat, sister to Tony B.
All the mob kids and wives have experienced sad tragic lives, being related to the NY/NJ mob.
@@robertlee4172 I didn’t get the Black Forest ham reference either. On my 2nd watch I picked it up when I heard Chris tell Georgie in his last line at the swamp.. “Cmon let’s pick him up & take him to Pine Barrens”. Not being from NJ I didn’t even know what Pine Barrens was. Had no idea it’s a giant forrest. Also Black Forest ham comes from southern Germany... that’s in Emails part of the world. So the line genuinely makes sense.
👍
Funny seeing Vito in the bakery before he was a made guy!
That wasn’t Vito. It’s was Gino. Same actor playing a different character. Gino is just some random customer off the street. Vito character is a long way off.
There is a very funny clip of funny moments in the Sopranos on You Tube .
I've heard others say the same.
7:05. - The big guy entering the bakery, Gino, appears later in the series as a different character, Vito.
That pool cue, I wonder if it was chalked.
Gino and Vito are twins
@@normie2716 Lol. I'd forgotten that quote.
I figured he got the name wrong
I'm glad you enjoyed Young Pope, it's a fantastic piece of television. But I felt like New Pope was a mockery of everything good from first series and didn't like it at all.
Was it a "Humo" review? I remember seeing something from them about the Sopranos as well... While I more often than not agree with their political viewpoints, their movie and music reviews, eh,... but yeah, I think you're right, they do a lot of storybuilding, which I think isn't a problem at all in the beginning and only adds to the payoffs later in the show:)
John Gotti was a real life mobster
and one of the biggest
You get bolder, more intelligent groundbreaking seasons as it goes on. Where you know you really just watched something special. Especially Seasons 6A and 6B.
Very allegorical.
Season 6 is terrible tho
@@JackMarcuson if you think that you didn't get the series and have no right to be a "fan". Bahahaha.
"I would binge this so hard." And my AI profile of Mary is now complete.
John Gotti is one of the biggest mob bosses ever, a legend… I loved his daughter and her three sons’ reality show in the early 00s even if they were douchebags and she’s not really a nice person
Have anyone ever told you thay you are a super cute nerdy girl? Anyway, enjoy your show, the first seasons are pretty cool ✌️
You adding sounds and music to this show is sac religious … please keep the show as it is
except for that squeak when chris punched the pillow, that was hilarious and that laugh for Pussy’s joke, that deserved laughs
Not sure how far along you are on this, so it might not be relevant now but the Sopranos uses real life Mafia members names/events (John Gotti, the Colombo Wars, etc) as well as the fictional names.
I'd say The Sopranos remains high quality throughout, BUT the first half of the series is better than the second half.
I'd agree. I don't think it ever got better, it was great for maintaining throughout for the most part. People may get caught up in the escalating craziness, ramping up the action to keep it exciting for some viewers. A less charitable view may be that it did become a bit formulaic with a kind of 'villain de saison' rotation.
Right, none of the mobsters are predominately good. Even the worst people ever had some moments of goodness, is that right?
Please continue with the Star Trek franchise. 🙏🏻🖖🏻
