Phil and Alex go through the Kubler-Ross stages of grief with the third episode of The Sopranos' first season "Denial, Anger, Acceptance." They discuss the highs and lows of an episode with some great directing and some cringe-worthy stereotypes, wax rhapsodic on the outstanding performance of Lorraine Bracco and her career prior to this iconic role, and correct a great injustice perpetrated in the episode prior, all while investigating the evolving question of: is this truly the goat season? Can a season have weaker episodes and still be the goat? Or has the goat not yet revealed itself?
