Yep, The Soprano's was a real tour de force. I just discovered it about 3 years ago (I don't think that I had a TV for most of it's original run) and ended up binge watching the entire series - and I'm not really a film or television hound. Ultra high level writing and great acting with many out of the ordinary sharp psychological scenes; just one example were some of the soap opera scenes between Tony and wife Carmella that were straight up intense Academy Award performances. The episode about getting lost in the snowy woods had me grinning and laughing nearly the whole way, and not much anymore can do that. All of The Soprano's supporting cast were superb but definitely, Mr. Gandolfini carried the legendary series on his shoulders and he is gone way too soon.

When talking about the Wise-guy fashion/style, "Gucci Loafers" was missed from that part of the discussion. I am sure that they were worn with pride and completed their "Swag". 😊

You know, I’d rather have the heads of the 5 families running the country than the politicians. At least you’d know where you stand, your neighborhoods would be respectful and no one would put up with all the crap we do now.

Mario Puzo first wrote several novel’s about normal Italian Americans families. He got nowhere, gets fed up. To consciously write a best seller. He adds the Mafia. That’s supposed to be why the characters are and the family are so vivid and good.

I think “ Godfather” was a Nick name given to the character of Vito Corleone because he was wise and had sort of a “ Fatherly way” of handling his business. Actually there is a line in the movie that says “ Godfather was a term that was given to my father by his Freinds out reverence and respect”

I grew up with my Sicilian grandparents, and when The Godfather and Godfather II came out on video, we were not allowed to enter the living room while they were watching them, and it always struck me as odd because we could watch First Blood or any other movies with no issues, but they wouldn't let us watch that at all... so, when I got to Jr. High, I stole a hardback copy from the public library (and paid for it later in cash) and read the book. So, when I finally watched the movie, I was disappointed, actually because I felt they left out too many important parts. I still have that old, moldy copy of The Godfather at my house. The bindings are gone, and the back cover is gone, but I still have it. Haha.

James Gandolfini was a great actor and such a nice guy. I’m from Naples gentlemen. I didn’t see the Godfather til I got older and honestly, I laughed at it. My mafia movies was the news. It’s not the life that is depicted by Hollywood at all. As far as the Godfather term is concerned, I think Mario Puzo came up with the term when he wrote Il Padrino. He wrote the book based on stories his mother told him when he was younger. I have never heard anyone call a boss a don or godfather, even in Italy.

Michael, how come you never talked about the movie Mobsters or gave it a review that’s one of my all-time favorite mobster movies! I’ve been following you since the beginning and I always wondered why you haven’t hit that movie yet… any reason?

Don:masculine noun Predicate of honor attributed to many of the regular clerics and to all secular ecclesiastics; among the lay people, once reserved only for princes and members of the high nobility of Spain and Portugal, it was then extended, also in Italy, to every person of importance, not necessarily noble, especially. in the South where, today, more than anything else, it is a name denoting respect and reverence

Chaz asked the question. When did “Godfather” come into the mafia and it seems that it never really did but that was just Hollywood’s depiction. I think Michael even said that he doesn’t remember anybody being called Godfather rather boss. I could be wrong though, and certainly stand to be corrected if a member of the life says otherwise. .

My favorite mob film is Asante's Gotti. But there's a huge error. Gotti goes to visit Quack Quack at the cancer hospital. I think that's Hollywood since there was no way Gotti would visit him, and I think John avoided the funeral too.

Gentlemen i think it would be very beneficial for a lot of people including myself, if you did an episode about love, relationships, heartbreak, and all the in between. at 23 years old right now im struggling to cope with the fact that i might have lost something truly special with a great woman just because i was focused on the wrong things, and i would love to see what you men have learned throughout your years when it comes to love and relationships. hope this topic idea comes to fruition
