DIFFERENCE IN VALUES | The Sopranos S5 Ep. 1 "Two Tonys" | REACTION & DISCUSSION 

Phil Leaotardo saga begins. He spent some time in the can, but I do not remember how many. He rarely mentions that.

Feech has already had a big influence on the show up to this point. If you recall, Ralphie tells Jackie Jr a story of how Tony got made, by robbing Feech Lamanna's card game, which inspires Jackie to boost his resume in life....

It’s nice to see people really enjoy the humour in this show. Genuinely think it’s funnier than a lot of comedies, and for me it’s funnier on the rewatch because you miss a lot the first time round. Best reactors I’ve seen watch this.

in S2, when Richie and Tony meet at the mall, Richie reminds Tony how he stepped up for him and his brother Jackie when they robbed Feech LaManna's card game. in S3, Ralph tells Jackie Jr. the story about how his Faatha and Tony robbed Feech's card game which inspired Jackie jr. to fuck up as he did. in S5 we meet legendary Feech in person 😂😂

Feech Lamana was mentioned earlier on. He's the one who had his card game robbed by young Tony Soprano which influenced Jackie Jr to do his failed card game robbery

You guys were talking about Steve Buscemi at the end of your discussion. I'm not sure if this was ever brought up in previous discussions but he directed the Pine Barrens episode.

Season 3 may be my favorite for nostalgia purposes (the last view of life before 9/11) but I think season 5 without a doubt is the *best* season of the series, and that is saying a lot.

Symbolically... the bear is Tony & his big presence alway hovering around. AJ screaming “Mommy!!” like a little girl was similar to the guy who shot Christopher screaming “Mommy!” just before Tony & Pussy shot him. Point being... AJ thought he might die when he saw that bear. He was literally scared to death at that moment.

The guy appearing on the tv show talking about all the mob guys coming out of jail is Matthew Weiner, who joined the writers staff this season. He got the job showing Chase his pilot script for Mad Men, which he was able to create after Sopranos... on AMC, since HBO said no, despite Chase recommending it. HBO really dropped the ball there, since Mad Men basically kickstarted AMC (Breaking Bad took a while to be popular).

Aye you guys read my comment! Y’all are going to meet Phil Leotardo real soon. One of the best/funniest characters on the show. Enjoy fellas

Season five and season six B (the last season) both won Emmys for Drama Series. It also won writing Emmys for every season except season 2 (which it should have won for as well tbh). Gandolfini won three Emmys for the show and should have won more. Edie won three as well and probably should have won one more. Drea won a supporting Emmy. Michael won a supporting Emmy. Joe Pantoliano won a supporting Emmy for season 4. Lorraine was nominated several times but never won. Nancy should have won the supporting Emmy for season one but didn’t. Michael should have been nominated from the beginning of the series. Instead, they only started nominating him with season three. Dominic was nominated a couple times but didn’t win. Aida was nominated a couple of times but didn’t win. Oddly enough, she wasn’t nominated easily her best season, season two. Yes, despite how acclaimed and popular and groundbreaking the show was it only won two Drama Series Emmys. There was a belief that it would have won much earlier in its run, but a lot of voters were turned off by the violence, and there was a cable network bias back then.

the upcoming quotes are going to be insane especially from Phil Leotardo

There are two Tony's, and I'm here for them both.

The name of the therapy movie Tony was watching was called “Prince of Tide” so he was giving melfi a clue as to who sent the basket

PHIL LEOTARDO! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!

That scene of feech telling his prison story has to be one of the best introductions to a character. Always makes me laugh but also lets you know just how crazy this guy is.

Twin Peaks mention? I’d sacrifice myself for a Twin Peaks reaction

the black bear represents Tony in a way

Season 5 is my personal favourite. It's definitely not the darkest of the series, that has to be season 6, but there's some very very dark moments in it. Can't wait for you guys to get to certain episodes towards the ending of the season

i need yalls channel to explode soon, sick of searching for "Redox reactions" and youtube giving me a college chemistry course.😂

Michael Imperioli is the executive producer & narrator of a new 3-part documentary series about the Mafia. It premieres this Sunday night, Aug. 11th, on The History Channel. It starts with Lucky Luciano in the early 1900's & covers the Five Families all the way up to the supposed end of the mob. Lots of archival footage & photos. And I'm hoping they'll also take a look at how the Mafia 's been portrayed in films & TV. Just a heads-up for you & anyone interested. I read an article about it & it sounds really interesting. 🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵✨️🩵

Season 5 is my favorite seeing Tony on his own let’s us see a totally different side of him his insecurities of himself by seeing an old school mobster like Feech actually being liked and charasmatic and Tony B

So others have mentioned it, but the movie Prince of Tides, directed and starring the great Barbara Streisand, the note and detergent he figured would be a big clue to Melfi of his intentions

People watching Chrissy and Paulie kill that waiter on their first watch - 😮😬😡 Sopranos fans on their 3 + viewings - 😂😂💀

This has always been my favorite season. It may have recently been beaten by 2 and 3, but it’s still in the top 3 for me.

OK back from vacation, got my coffee, ready for what we've been waiting for - the Whitecaps reaction. Here we go... wait... what??? NOOOOOO! 😭

3:22 listenn, i'm 25 and i still have subtitles on even when the show/movie i'm watching is in english LOL. i understand what people are saying, but i'm someone who can read fast and still see what's going on in the screen, but also, like you said, it's easier to not miss the dialogue with the subs on the screen bc i may not always hear *everything* that is being said sometimes.

broooo i cant wait for you guys to get to season 6 its crazy

And now you’ve reached my favorite overall Sopranos season.

P.S. As far as someone who is a narcissist with a lot of power changing, that is unicorn rare. IMO, most high ranking ranking monsters, presidents, royalty, people with a lot of power...almost always think they are above everyone and think they should get what they want. This is who they are, and I believe it gets worse the older they get. I understand why, they usually always get what they want and rarely face any consequences for their actions.

I’m excited for this season, because we get back to more Mob Storylines where Season 4 kinda got away from, by the way Janice & Bobby did get married off screen😉

The generation gap is evident by the fact that they don't refer to Benny as "Doogie Howser Kid"

Lol you can tell AJ ain't doing any kind of chores around the yard

They did skip it… Bobby (like a dumbass) married Janice 😂……

Damn was just about to watch last weeks episode but it got copyrighted i think

Season 5 gets better, and AJ has some genuinely funny scenes this season. But he's a prick too.

Tony was his best friend and he doesn't even go and visit him in prison during the 20 years?

Hey, GREAT REACTION, as always!!! I want to point something out that is kind of important. We all know Tony as a gangster, narcissist, a killer, and a lot of other things. As far as the women (or girls in a lot of cases) on the side, they are just a distraction from his boring life. He in no way saw any of them as a partner or has any true emotional connection with them, except for maybe Melfi (one-sided though). As for Carmella, even though she never even kissed Furio, she was at the very least infatuated with him, maybe even started to develop a love for him, or at least the idea of the type of relationship she thought he might give her. While Tony has always been a cheater and it was very wrong, at the end of the day, Carmella was still the women he wanted to be with until death do them part. I honestly believe Carmella would've left Tony for Furio in a second if not for kids and consequences. IMO, Carmella's unfaithfulness was very real and more serious than Tony's, but Tony's looks much worse on the surface.
