He was not the sharpest tool on the shelf TBH. I mean, who would've thought of going to the wedding of someone heavily guarded by FBI, when you're on house arrest?
That was the funniest thing in the whole series, that and when Christopher cups his hand while lighting a cigarette in Ralph’s house cause he’s worried about the wind lol.
I actually enjoy the part where the bride realises her carriage turned into a pumpkin. Happy enough to have her Dad’s mafia money pay for the whole thing, happy to take gifts they know “fell off a lorry”, yet has to be consoled by Carmela - the expert in repressing knowledge of criminal acts to stay happy. “Hey Larry, how’s your daughter?” “Fine, through her veil of tears””
@@oreganoo7882 The thing that makes me chuckle is that her father could've waited til later on to tell people about the indictments, instead of right in the middle of the party. He ruined his daughter's wedding lmfao
Corrado season 1: “You guys see indictments under your bed at night, right away you’re ready to Lam it.” Corrado Season 4: “You get indictments like me, you can’t sleep at night.”
@@allgoldproductions lol! I'd love to know the decision for that, be it from the director or in the script. I always thought it was to be discreet given the topic but then they're in a big huddle later on and make a scene anyway, taking money back and leaving so I don't know!
@@conorkelly6351 Also funny to hear from the Talking Sopranos podcast that Tony Sirico is a germaphobe in real life too that would routinely spray breath spray in other actor's mouths if they were doing a scene close to each other. I don't know what he had to do here to psyche himself up to stare into Larry Boy's tonsils. It's nonsensical how close they are. I'd really like to see where their feet were at during that. Paulie must've been resting his ballbag on Larry's thigh.
@@allgoldproductions lol! I thought the same thing. Larry boy's actor must have gotten a lot of sprays that day. On TS, they also mention Tony's cologne could be pretty overwhelming.
The shot of meadow dancing and having fun is really clever becuase it shows her relative innocence in relation to her dad. It shows what's on the line for him. His kids and wife are the most important to him and you can clearly see how he is thinking about what he might loose if he goes away.
This is like the Mad Men episode where the executive's daughter had her wedding the day after the Kennedy assassination. Only a handful of guests showed up to the reception and the ones who did show up left early. The bride cried the whole day.
Yes, but in Mad Men they knew it would be a disaster going in; the assassination had already happened. In the Sopranos, everything was fine until word got around about the indictments. This episode also foreshadows what happens at Johnny Sack's daughter's wedding.
Can someone explain why they all left the wedding so quickly? Federal Indictment: Cops can come any time to arrest them without warrant or what is it? Even if that's true, where they're gona go, they're all well known, they can't hide from the cops!
@@mr8883 Sure; I can. In fact, you answered part of your own question. Because the cops can come at any time to arrest them (and they DO need a warrant by the way), they left so soon to get the evidence out of their houses. If you saw the entire episode, Tony takes a lot of weapons and cash out of his house and hides it in the closet in his mothers room at the Green Grove retirement home. If they ae going to be arrested, their houses would be searched and they don't want to give the feds any evidence linking them to their organized crime actions. Which is one of the reasons why Tony kept a lot of money hidden in a hole under a flagstone in his pool maintenance shed. He also kept ready cash in "da boid feedah."
@@retroguy9494 Oh yes, I see, Thanks for that. Now is more clearer to me. So basically they just need to get out of there, go home & organize (get rid of their stuff) at home or move it somewhere safe, then jump town if they have to. Yeah I remember some episode Tony did had some stash in the backyard & his wife found it & took some
K K is correct. I once had a boss who was a southerner and the least ethnic man you ever wanted to meet. He attended a co-workers wedding and from what another co-worker told me, his wife was grabbing everything she could from the table. The centerpiece was promised to the co-worker who told me the story and when the bosses wife started eyeing it up, he told me he said to her "don't even THINK about it!" LMAO
I mean... she's just dancing like somebody that's drunk and having a good time. Maybe she was hamming it as an actress but it doesn't look that inorganic
@@goalgoalgoal669 Right. Tony Sirico, Lorraine Bracco, Vinny Pastore, Michael Imperioli, and Frank "Go home and get your Shinebox" Vincent to name a few.
The first season was different in so many ways. Go back and watch the pilot - it has a lot of slapstick elements that are pretty much gone after the pilot. The first season is light hearted in a way the rest of the seasons are not. You can see Chase trying to figure out what the show really was. By the end of the 2nd season he knew.

@@mr8883 Think it’s more to do with hiding anything that might incriminate them, hence the ‘spring cleaning’ line. Also the feds might know them but not necessarily know where they are located if they switch up. All of those guys prob had places they could lie low, places the feds didn’t know about
@@smokedoutpositivesquad1738 yes they all know but a public declaration like this is a different matter. Carmela also knew Tony keep sleeping with other women but that russian girl calling the house was the last drop
It comes with the Mob Lifestyle These Women Know 9/10 Guys have a Woman on the Side however to have a Mistress calling the Home of your Wife & Kids That's Off-Limits Like Smoke out Mentioned 1/10 Guy Remains Dedicated to His Wife no matter how Attractive other Broads may Appear.
Classic example of where the followers look towards their natural leader for direction and not the actual leader - but Tony handles it like a boss, easing Juniors his nerves and still calling the shots. (Yes, that rhymed)
At 45, I just binge watched the entire series for the very first time, I'm not gonna lie, tik tok did it. I fought it and fought it, but I finally broke down and bought the entire series and really watched every episode. It's BRILLIANT. The writing. The acting. 1,000,000% genuis shit. No question. But what really hits me hard, is that by season 5, every main mob character (expect for Bobby B and Tony B) has revealed themselves to be irredeemable pieces of fucking shit. They're brilliantly written characters and brilliantly acted by the actors. But each guy shows who and what they really are by season 5. Money is all they care about. It's unbelievable. From Tony mercilessly beating the Bing bartender for no reason and killing his own cousin instead of just telling Johnny Sack to get fucked, it's just unreal how by season 6 seeing Tony get his head cut off wouldn't have bothered me one bit. He didn't, but if he did, I wouldn't have shed a tear. Amazing series, in every way. The biggest tragedy was not having Richie Apriel back for more seasons. He, in my opinion, was the MOST authentic mob character in the whole series.
Man, Italian american weddings be having the best food and the classy affairs! 😄 I've been to two and it was like walking in to a different world lol the food be the bomb!
Tony is smart about redirecting the conversation back to Uncle Jun when it becomes clear the other capos have no intention of hiding the arrangement they've made behind his back. Tony was always the brightest person in the DiMeo family
That song at the end, "The Summer Wind" was the Imperial music at the height of the Empire. But our friends were scattering in the wind here... How symbolic...
