Welcome to The Sopranos Live with Atticus and Will! This week the boys take a look at the first episode of season one. We meet most of the main players of the series, and Anthony Junior comes out as an early favorite.  Without any real research or background knowledge, the boys speculate wildly on the show's place in history as early "prestige television," and David Chase's role as showrunner in comparison to modern showrunners.

"Pilot" Season 1 Episode 1

TV & Film

Content warning: This episode contains discussion of a scene from the show depicting physical and sexual assault. We talk about it throughout the episode, so there's not really a good timecode to jump to -- we get it if you need to skip this one. Will and Atticus attempt to process the dark events of this week's episode. Dr. Melfi is brutally attacked, Janice continues to be trouble for Tony, Tony has a very sweet scene with Christopher, and Johnny Sack moves to Jersey. Also very relatedly, an exhaustive list of the types of articles that are written today is discussed. 

Season 3 Episode 4 "Employee of the Month"

It's a Christopher episode and for that, Lord, we are thankful. Christopher's big day isn't all it was cracked up to be, Jackie peepees his little pants, Will doesn't moan, and Atticus is concerned anti-war songs are corny. 

"Fortunate Son" Season 3 Episode 3

Justin (@justinkcomer) joins us to talk about Season 3 Episode 2. Tony does some advanced racism, Olivia has a memorable, $250,000 sendoff, Janice returns, and Will had a helluva day. Does the Iowa podcast community welcome Iowa expatriates and which of Tony's crew would wear a mask?Check out Justin's podcasts at rockhardcauc.us and ihearic.com

"Proshai, Livushka" Season 3 Episode 2 (with Justin Comer)

It is just great to be back. Paulie kills it out of nowhere with an extended shoelace rant, Baby Bing arrives impeccably dressed, Will calls out Atticus for doing tropes, and they discuss which of Tony's crew would be wearing masks in 2020. Now cut the morbid shit. 

"Mr. Ruggerio's Neighborhood" Season 3 Episode 1

Funhouse? Fun episode! Atticus and Will are starting to think this Sopranos show might be pretty good. Tony does big farts and gets depression in his stomach and Will pitches his idea to produce a realistic sound library of farts and poops to replace the somewhat lacking stock sound used for the episode.
