Cut To Black: A Sopranos Sitdown

NEW PODCAST ALERT!

In Blank Meets Blank we invent a new TV show every episode, starting with two random hat drawings and ending with a pilot, a first season summary and a fantasy cast. This is something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while (eagle-eared listeners will note references in this pilot to cement this fact) and we’re really glad to finally share the first episode!

If you enjoy this new podcast, please subscribe to our feed for Blank Meets Blank and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. We’ll be releasing season 1 of Blank Meets Blank, consisting of 6 – 10 episodes, and then take a break to evaluate and possibly record season 2. If you want this show to stick around, let us know with a review!

Can we get some mob violence on this show!? Why of course we can, we can start right out with it this week as a matter of fact! Tony is still in limbo, wondering if he just might be Kevin Finnerty, while Silvio is finding out just how lonely it is at the top while everyone else squabbles over who gets what!

Who am I? That is the question that Tony Soprano is currently grasping with as he lays in a hospital bed with a gun shot wound to the gut, meanwhile the other Tony is stuck in Costa Mesa with someone else’s life (or briefcase). This is the beginning of the end and death is all around us, it is Sopranos Season 6!

We are back to dig into Sopranos Season 6! Jim and Jakob are here to discuss the episode “Member’s Only” where we get to spend some more time with Eugene a soldier in the Soprano family as well as catch up with Tony Soprano that seems to have had some very good years since we last saw him.

We are here to deliver our SUPER-SIZED discussion of the Sopranos Season 5 finale, “All Due Respect”! Tensions continue to heat up between Jersey and New York as Tony doesn’t want to eat shit from Johnny and Phil Leotardo is out for blood. AJ may have found his calling and some little kids sing “Mr Tambourine Man”, all this and more!

It’s about time we really get inside the mind of one Tony Soprano, and what better way to do that than a 20 minute dream sequence!? This is vintage David Chase as he gives us not what we want, but what we need. Plus Jakob LOVES dream sequences, RIGHT!?

Is Tony Soprano a likable person? Does Tony Soprano spread nothing but misery to the people he loves? Season 5, episode 10 “Cold Cuts” tries to answer these questions and we may not like the answer.

Sorry about the delay but Jim and Jakob are back with some more Cut To Black! Picking up with Season 5, we check in with episode 9 as we get a further glimpse into the lives of Meadow and Finn and we find out that Tony and Carmella getting back together may be a bit presumptuous.

This week we get to be a fly on the wall and hang out at a Soprano family gathering to celebrate Hugh De Angelis’s 70th birthday! A surprise party that Junior Soprano couldn’t help but ruin, as the mafia family story lines take kind of a back seat (heh) but are still bubbling below the surface. Jim and Jakob break down the episode, so come along for the ride!
