Sopranos needs a spinoff where AJ and Meadow are going through dad’s old stuff and they find the truck full of Pokémon cards from season 2

Jamie looks insanely good at 42

James Gandolfini was 36 when they filmed the pilot. He was 2 years younger than Rob is now and 6 years younger than Jamie is now.

I watched the series for the first time and finished it to end 2023. Definitely a series I’ll watch over and over again. Congrats on 25 years.

Rob looked WILD in that sports book ad 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Favorite episode yet. Wish someone would ask Rob about filming the pool scene with James. Heart wrenching. Gets me every time.

James and the other Sopranos fulfilled their roles better than another cast or show I've ever seen, the Sopranos became a real family.❤

😂 They interact like real brothers and sisters.

Honestly Jamie's suggestion about rewriting the series ending to be Meadows wedding would've been a great send-off for the show, and it would also be a reference to The Godfather, The Sopranos ending how The Godfather begun. Could've still built tension and cut to black there instead, if only it went for one more season.

The Sopranos was as great as everyone says it was. To me there's no better tv in history. HBO was up to the challenge and of course, for the first time, no restrictions limiting what the producers could do. David Chase at the helm was a huge factor and along with the writing and casting, he produced what will go on decade after decade as being the most beloved tv show in history. The fact Jamie and Robert are pals and they had first hand knowledge, has made all their podcasts, and interviews entertaining.

Artie Bocco was doing all the cooking.

The initial knee jerk reaction to the finale versus the long term perspective on it is just a testament to David Chase’s genius and the actors giving it life on screen. By the third time I watched it it had become one of my favorite series finales ever.

I am 30 years old but my mother insisted on buying me a Christmas gift last month…..long story short I told her to just worry about my nephew & niece but come Christmas Eve I still had a gift to open! It was the Sopranos box set something I had been wanting for years so I started watching this show again for like the 7th time!

Rob, the moment he looked close to tears and Jamie being a bit of a rock there. Makes you love this pod just that bit more. Congratulations to them both.

Love the camera cuts to anyone drinking water on any YHM pods...Water champs all around hahah

Jaime, thank you for mentioning Janice/Aida because she was such a great character, so many great scenes with her.

This is the first time I watched an entire series and seriously missed it after it was over. I was almost depressed when it ended. Such an amazing show and cast. Love the podcast and revisiting the series. Happy 25th anniversary!!!

I'm getting emotional during some of this. The Sopranos is my favorite show of all time and this is a great reminder of why, it's because the people involved were irreplaceable. RIP to all the legends who passed before they could be a part of this anniversary🙏

I loved The Sopranos. It taught me so much about human nature. The acting was magical from everyone. Thank you for the best show EVER.

20:33 even I got emotional imaging your experience 😂 after so much time with the cast, that was a family! To hear “that’s a wrap” must feel so surreal

Excellent episode. It’s absolute madness that there isn’t half a million views on this yet. It’s 17 hours out and it’s around 37k views. I would bet it’s pushing close to a half million within a week. Watching these two legends podcast is a gift for all of us who loved the show.

I just started watching The Sopranos. It’s so good. Funny to see you guys young!

“Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd was the song played before Tony killed Chrissy. I think that’s why David was confused by the question.

I've been rewatching Sopranos for past couple of weeks and just happened upon this videocast. Subscribed instantly. Robert (Rob?) and Jamie are SUCH GOOD actors. I usually write off "the kids" in most shows because they aren't usually good actors (understandable) and are often just catalysts for adult reaction to situation. I believed these two from DAY ONE. You guys were fantastic on the show.

lol at the "did you get input on your wardrobe choices?" First thing I thought when Jaime asked Rob that was, 'He didn't want the sweater that Carmela's mom gave him for Christmas but Carmela told him, 'You will wear it and you will tell her thank you!!'" 🤣🤣

Huge fan of the pod. You guys are doing The Sopranos community beyond proud.

Rob saying that after Jamie Lyn saying she doesn’t wear socks genuinely made me belly laugh

What could be more important than the 25th Sopranos anniversary for these two?! I imagine their absence saddened and potentially brought up feelings of resentment for the remaining cast members, even though they'd never express it to them.

It's a shame Jamie and Rob don't do a dedicated podcast just to sopranos, weekly guests , stories and tales of the cast and crew...old photos and vids ...love to hear Lorraine talk about her experience in the therapist sessions with James and the times Rob worked with James in the suicide episodes that AJ had. Great episode 😀

I've seen every episode of the sopranos no joke at least 10 times. It was my comfort show on many occasions. It's crazy how they both look exactly the same as they did when the show ended. Good for them. Thank you both

How on earth could you guys not attend the 25’ anniversary?????????

Shocked and surprised they didn’t attend the anniversary party. Rob’s resistance to the show is also odd.

Crazy how Gandolfini and Tony became such a father to everybidy on the show. He really acted it into existence, hes got the gabbagoo

On the Van Morrison/ murder vibe brought up by Tony Hincliffe - in the many saints of Newark ‘Astral weeks’ by VM is playing just before Dickie drowns his new step-mother/lover!

Love you guys I was a teen when this came out n that was the go to show on Sunday nights. Thank you guys for being a part of our lives. I think my emotional scene was when Tony came n found aj in the pool drowning.....that scene always gets to me as a hulking black man I do shed a tear on that to this day. Take care soprano family

I got to watch both episodes!! Thank you baby zolo for the "deleted" version!

I’m rewatching The Sopranos with my mom who’s never seen it, after not seeing it since it first aired. Such an amazingly funny yet dramatic show. Also love the podcast, you both look great!

Bro, how can you not watch your work? Even if our don't want to see yourself, watch it for the amazing show it is. It's a piece of history! One of the first of its kind for back then. Also you both look amazing! And thank you for bringing your characters to life for us to enjoy.

That show truly mirrored interactions I have had with my own family. The entire cast is truly family to millions. That being said, your all welcome to stop by for dinner. It's been way too long.

Please get more Soprano guests on. I would love to hear you guys reminisce. I love hearing the side notes everyone has. I’m a fan like Toni

Loved this one and both of you look amazing 25 years later! Can't believe its been so long since the show aired....used to watch it with my dad every sunday. Time flies

Old Rob looking like Kelsey Grammer

Lakeside deli / Eight hills catering out of Verona Nj would deliver to the Cast and Production team a lot! Food is fantastic! Great episode guys.

So awesome to see you again …. Loved the Sopranos ..❤️…..Actually acquired a bootleg cable converter to watch back in 99 ….2005. Then had to get HBO for the final season. Prayers 🙏 for the cast whom have passed …. Thank you all for the series….

What you guys have done with this show just being yourself and being real has proven what great actors you are. You guys are nothing like the parts you played and it shows just how great both of your performances were on the show.

Very rare a show comes along with such a great cast.

@24;20 the marilyn manson tee with the lime green shirt underneath is the bomb AJ.

AJ hasn’t aged a day! Also, just finished Sopranos 2 days ago and was my first watch ever! Incredible show!

I'm re-watching the Sopranos for the umpteenth time. While watching this podcast, I caught myself smiling quite a few times. Happy 25th.

In June 2001, me, my dad (Roger Hurricane Wilson) and brother almost met James Gandolfini. My dad plays blues music for a living and was playing inside a club in Manhattan, we’re from Atlanta but went up there with him for his gigs). My dad (who’s from NJ originally) saw James sitting at the bar, watching him play music. I was outside with my brother in the Winnebago, playing PS1 and watching crack heads 😂

It’s really so awesome that Rob and Jamie are so close

What makes these two so important that they couldn’t make it to the 25th anniversary of the show that will provide for them for the rest of their lives?

Nadav just had to get em one more time

I’ve been rewatching Sorpranos lately it’s been fun remembering all the good times wish they’d bring something back with the kids being older and both involved with the life of crime

This was awesome. Favorite episode so far for sure. Can’t get enough of anything Sopranos related. Will always think of you guys as AJ and Meadow.

I finally picked up watching the show directly on the 25th anniversary and am finishing it soon. I absolutely love the show and the chemistry on and off set as KZfaq delights me with more and more things. To recently learn that James AND Tony died broke my heart. Hands down my favorite show 😘👌

I’ve always wondered why every coffee cup in any HBO series is the exact same lol. I love that detail to the set

Holy canoli, they both look so incredibly good and young, considering it's been 25 years!

Great to see you two together, still so close after all these years. You both look very well. Keep up the great work ❤

My first time in NYC i hailed a cab & Jodi Foster was also doing the same, the cab stopped for her & she invited me to share it with her. I asked which direction she was going & it was the opposite of where i was going, but i said "i think I'm going near there also" just so i could talk to her. Nicest & most down to earth celebrity ever!

The show that changed the TV world. If you weren't doing movies, you weren't going to make it in Hollywood. This show opens the doors for such great TV series such as Breaking Bad , Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead and so on. This show tho never gets old. It's like wine, it gets better year after year

My favorite clip from The Sopranos, is when Meadow is arguing with Carmela and Tony about going to Europe. And Carmela says “All right Jesus, God, we know that is that your only point here? Because just getting what you want is for babies, not adults!“ every time I think about doing something stupid, I hear Carmela’s voice in my head.

So happy y'all started this pod 🫶🏼🙌🏼

It's so weird watching this and getting emotional because I feel like i knew their dad and watched them grown up 😅

Jamie, Robert and Edie should appear together in a family's vacation in a future season of White Lotus.👏❤️🥰

17:10 there is a drop thats not supoosed to be there LOL

Hearing all the amazing stories of Jim it makes it hard to watch The Sopranos and see him as anything other than the man he truly was a kind genuine human.

i know there's probably 3812 of these comments by now, but I have never seen or even wanted to see the Sopranos, and this is one of my fav pods. Because I love Jamie and Rob as humans

RIP "James "Jim" Gandolfini" 🇮🇹1961-2013 🙏 never forgotten

now i need to know why jamie and rob couldnt make it to the anniversary party

Jamie is right...the acting & story line / scenery is beyond first class. I am reactivated by the series and am re-watching...again

I’m still watching re-runs after all these years,season six finishes & i go back to season 1.The funniest episode is when christopher goes to rehab with most of the cast there they all have a say about his drug habit & they end up putting the boot into him.

I wish that it ended just like the movie Carlito's Way. Tony slowly fading away and then going to black. Like he knew he was dying and his voice narrating!

Wow, Mikey P., is alive and well. What a hoot!

IMO Sopranos best represented dreams/unconscious on screen. Surprised how little that is mentioned.

I always watch the sopranos and the wire daily, Jamie and Robert still look literally identical to how they look at the end of Made in America!

16:05 I wasn’t ready 😂😂😂

Ever since I recieved my box set of The Sopranos, it's what I watch all the time before I go to sleep. Like All In The Family, Columbo and MASH, Sopranos has it all for any actor or writer who wants to get into the T.V. business. My favoriate character is Johnny Sack. I like one-dementional characters, black and white, simple to understand why he does what he does,

When you guys filmed at Leonards of great neck it brought back so many memories.. also at pier 25 i tried to go into the parking lot not knowing that awesome sick scene was being filmed at that very moment . My friend and myself re enact a scene from pauly and his mom who he found out was his aunt in the assisted living home . Rose - shawpas image - she's a whoah- lmao . Jamie i luv ya and your little brother too haha Soprano's for life .. yes i wish they released the outtakes too . Great podcast 🫶😎😎😎😎🏆🏆🏆👍👍

"What no f**king Ziti now?" "Listen to Mr Mob boss now!"

Rewatching with my bf (he’s watching for the first time)! You were both amazing on the series, thank you so much for sharing stories and tidbits of my favorite show. ❤

Kismet indeed! You gave the people what they wanted. Loved all the guest videos. Truly, there’s no other siblings I grew up with🖤

Best show ever. RiP Richie Aprile. Tony didn't deserve that jacket you took off Rocco Dimeo.

You realize these two are now older than Gandolfini and Falco were in season 1? That's unbelievable quite frankly.

OMG at 3:15 I Have the same feeling. The way he uses his fork. All the spreads I try recreate the meals from pausing on different parts. I rekon I would be 5kg lighter if I didn't watch Sopranos after dinner!

I watched "Delete" before it was cool. Commenting for posterity. Butts. Posterior.

I'm watching it for the 5th time now. On season 2. Wasn't aware it was 25 yrs already. Whoa..

We need a spin off casting Meadow as the boss of the family

Jamie will always be a smoke show 🔥

The Sopranos "is" the best show ever, I've watched it at least 10x's from start to finish. I have a question for Robert, why haven't you watched the show? Jamie ending the series with your wedding would have been phenomenal !!

Funny, im watching Sopranos right now. Rewatching i think for the third time. One of the best shows of all time.

This was great. Thank you guys for taking the time. OG panty here.

Based on the song choices, the death of Christopher Moltisanti had Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" from the album The Wall, in which the character in the song is numbed up by drugs and describes the experience. As Christopher confesses to Tony that he would not pass a drug test, plus before the crash, the lyrics they reflect Tony's views of Christopher as a junkie.

The Sopranos is deeply embedded in pop-culture 💯

Old Rob looks like a sports bookie LOL

Meadows wedding would’ve been amazing as the finale

happy anniversary guys ! what a ride, 25 years.. I'd love hbo to release the bloopers of the show too !

They didn't even laugh when Sebastian was talking lol then they said he was one of the funniest ppl in the world (I agree) but I was laughing my ass off at him from that video.

This podcast special has the makings of a varsity athlete. Sopranos 25th .

Who doesn’t wear socks? Never? Come on Jamie 😂
