The Sopranos Q&A (episode #1 bonus that helped kick off my YouTube channel): https://youtu.be/xBRlpJl38kw

Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Summer of Sam) and I do an impromptu podcast - and it's so relaxed that you'll have a 100% different experience than when you listened to his original episode of Really Famous.

You'll hear:

• Who he based Christopher Moltisanti on (a real-life person! who has no idea!)
• Why he said "F that" about David Chase
• Why he knew James Gandolfini really well, but Edie Falco didn't
• Who he stays in touch with from The Sopranos
• Who he hangs out with
• What he does when he's bored
• What his kids think of him in The Sopranos and Goodfellas
• Why he moved to Santa Barbara
• Why he recently moved back to New York and is now bicoastal

We also:

• Are so relaxed that it's actually quite amusing
• Bond over childhood TV and our favorite shows now
• Analyze Spike Lee
• Laugh at each other
• Overanalyze this conversation ... and then don't
