Pod-O-My

25 years ago we were all welcomed into Dr. Melfi's office to witness what would become the greatest show to ever grace the TV screen: The Sopranos. All these years later and here we are still yapping like 6 barbers about this incredible series and it's great depth and intricacies. We thought what a better way to honor this milestone than to speak about 25 greatest moments from the show. Obviously there are way too many to choose from but we picked ones that fans constantly talk about and that keep them coming back to rewatch this work of art year after year. Cent'anni!

Get yourself a bowl of ice cream, sit yourself on the couch, and have a watch of "Isabella" with us; one of our favorites from season 1 and an episode we think is underrated. Hear our analysis on Tony's hallucinations, which turn into hallucinations within hallucinations (Halluception). We also talk about some music used, deleted scenes, symbolism and the meaning of Isabella's character. Enjoy this episode as a commentary while watching the Isabella episode to either enhance/ruin your viewing experience. Irregardless, we're sure you'll agree with us by the end that the "timeline got fucked up".

Your favorite Sopranos podcasters are back with our first episode of the year! In this episode we're focusing on a man with a big nose and bigger dreams. You guessed it, Christopher Moltisanti; played by the infinitely talented Michael Imperioli. From hijacking Comley trucks, to going to Hell, and making a Hollywood blockbuster, the man has done it all. Even through the ups and downs of the mob life, there is still such relatability from Christopher's character that manuges to reach many loyle fans of the show. Take a break from the fuckin' regularness of life and give this a listen.

It's like Tony Soprano said, "keep your friends close and your enemies cold cuts" or some shit like that. We are back with this episode covering all the antagonists out to give Tony ammazz'. Breaking down each villainous character and how they work in different ways to try and bring Tony to his demise. With these guys there is no compromise, that is except for the occasional radiator grilled cheese.

"Remembering when" may be the lowest form of conversation, so that is why we are bringing you... flashbacks! That's right, we are back discussing all the flashbacks used throughout the series. We do a little time travel to the big ones in 1967 in "Down Neck" and 1995 in "To Save Us All From Satan's Power", as well as the shorter ones like Tony remembering Meadow asking "Are you in the mafia?" or Artie remembering Livia spilling the beans about the fire. So have a bite of gabagool and let the fat and nitrates bring you back in time...

In this tribute episode, we pay honor to the late legend: Tony Sirico. We give some background into his early life, film career, and of course his beloved role as Paulie Walnuts. Also have a simple sauce recipe from Sirico himself and some kind words from our Twitter followers on his great impact and favorite things about him.

RIP Tony Sirico

Just a couple of Joe Blows here with a new one in which we tackle a couple of the reoccurring themes in the show - the presence of wind and trees. Are they both just matters of setting and the environment? Or do they represent deeper connections to family, life and death? Don't go about in pity for yourself and let this great wind of a podcast carry you across the sky

If there is one thing besides the incredible acting and writing that carries The Sopranos along, it would be the music. It is a show full of hits, whether those be tunes or murders, and those tunes are used to amplify and even add depth to certain scenes. In this one we go through some of the fan favorites including, "Tiny Tears", "Living On A Thin Line", "Oh Girl", as well as some deeper cuts, to give you some analysis and history behind the music. This is "Pod-O-My's: Behind The Gabagool".

In episode 5, we breakdown what makes Tony Soprano the character that we know him to be. Is he a sociopath? Is there deeper meaning to his perceived role as the "sad clown"? How is he as a father, husband, and leader of a crew? Is the gehoxagogen framed up by the ramistan? Take a listen and you might just have the makings of a varsity athlete yourself.

We look beyond the silver linin' in this episode as we do our best in analyzing the show's unique use of dreams. Are dreams just all a big nothing? Or do they represent a deeper look into the psyche; sometimes one that we are unwilling to confront? Take the trip with us and hopefully our smooth vocal tones don't have you dreaming before it's over!

We Sopranos fans are always getting worked up with theories, and why not? Create a little dysentery among the ranks? In episode 3, we create a little dysentery of our own as we dive into many of the popular theories surrounding The Sopranos. From Phil possibly being gay, to Dr. Russ Fegoli being Paulie's father, if Tony had Furio killed and plenty more!

In this episode, we take a deeper dive into some of the animals of The Sopranos, everything from dogs to cats to Billy Bass and rats. As Livia says, "The world is a jungle" and she is not wrong given the amount of different creatures we see just in this series. We want to dedicate this episode to the late Goldee AKA Pie-O-My RIP

The guys start from the ground floor and talk about what makes season 1 feel so unique and even different from the following seasons. Characters, storylines, cinematic qualities and more will be discussed on season 1 and the nostalgic feel that it leaves fans with.
