Talking Sopranos – S2E5 with Terence Winter “Big Girls Don’t Cry” – TPATPAT

Welcome to episode 3 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we delve into the torride tale of Drea De Matteo trying to launch some sort of Sopranos podcast! Jim and Jakob learn that it isn’t just as easy as coasting on your celebrity and star status and simply launching a rewatch podcast of the show you are starred on. It takes commitment and timing, two things that seemed to crash and burn around the Adriana actress as she first launched her show in the shadow of Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa’s “Talking Sopranos”.
It seems between being edged out of the initial Sopranos rewatch market there were also some issues with the podcast network they initially launched with, as a short time later, Drea and her close friend and entrepeneur Chris Kushner attempted to launch another Sopranos podcast on their own entitled Gangster Goddess. Jim and Jakob have done the leg work and bring your the crash and burn of both endeavors on the latest TPATPAT!

From Script To Screen – The Sopranos Pilot | Cut To Black






Paramount+ has released a new television series chronicling the making of one of the greatest movies in cinema history, THE GODFATHER. Jim and Jakob have discussed all of the Sopranos and recently the Godfather films so we get together to discuss the first episode of the show “The Offer”. How does it stack up against current TV shows? How does it reckon with the looming shadow of The Godfather and most importantly how does it fit in the context of one of the greatest television shows of all time, The Sopranos?
