Unidentified Black Males

It's About Time it's over. Bill Russum and Mike Peters wrap up the entire run of The Sopranos by talking about their favorite deaths and what two comedians with zero TV background would've done to make an almost unanimous, top-five show better. Just what David Chase was hoping for 24 years after writing the pilot. 

These idiots will be back with another form of the show, so keep following along. Thanks for listening and providing feedback. It's been a fun 90 episodes. 

We went back in time to watch Tony hang out with his pal, Uncle Dickie Moltisanti on The Many Saints of Newark. We got to see Tony and Janice watch Johnny Boy get arrested and see what Junior looks like without hair. So not everything changes. Plus there's Leslie Odom, Jr., playing Harold McBrayer, and Christopher's (two) mom(s) and Ray Liotta twice. A lot happens and Bill and Mike are trying (badly) to figure it out on the second-to-last episode of It's About Time -- The Sopranos version.

We're done watching The Sopranos' series. We're almost caught up with the rest of you. Bill Russum and Mike Peters are going to talk about what they liked and didn't like and how it could've been done better -- 16 years after the finale. Like they know anything about anything. We've got two more episodes. We're talking about The Many Saints of Newark and what we thought about The Sopranos as a whole. So two more weeks until we shut down and retool. 

It's the Sopranos finale. Made in America, the 21st episode of the sixth season. It's taken us about 18 months -- plus 22 years -- but we've finally watched the Sopranos. Tony returns from the safe house and strikes a deal with the Lupertazzi family, minus Phil. A.J. gets a new job and Tony says goodbye to Junior, Silvio and Phil -- with help from Warden and Benny. All is right with the Soprano family until everything cuts to black. Now what? Now I understand why everybody has been so mad.

We're down to the last two episodes. It's Season 6, Episode 20: The Blue Comet. Phil decides that Tony, Silvio and Bobby need to go and puts a plan together. Tony's got a plan, too, but it doesn't go well. Dr. Melfi decides to cut ties with Tony after Elliott and her peers have their say and A.J. is out of the psych ward and is hanging out with a new lady-friend. We say goodbye to another main character and Tony sleeps with a gun. It's a good one.

It's The Second Coming, the 19th episode of Season 6. AJ is really depressed again. Apparently, beating up an innocent Somalian biker doesn't do much for the kid. Weirdo. After reading The Second Coming, a poem, he decides to try to kill himself. He changes his mind and Tony comes to his rescue. Tony's a busy boy. He defends Meadow's honor, brings a tooth with him, and ruins any relationship he had with Phil. 

Well, this is a sad one. It's Kennedy and Heidi, the 18th episode of Season 6.  Christopher finally got clean, but it took a car accident to get him there. High again with Tony in the car, Christopher nearly hits two teenage girls and flips his new car. Tony gets out of the car, but has had enough and suffocates him. Paulie's mom or aunt -- whatever -- dies, too. But no one cares. AJ has a crisis on conscience and goes all Rodney King on his therapist. 

Christopher, Christopher, Christopher. When will you learn that you can't drink and not hurt people? It's Season 6, Episode 17: Walk Like a Man. A.J. is in a funk because Blanca left him and Tony has an idea to get him jump-started. Tony almost quits therapy, but a new realization keeps him there. Little Paulie steals from Christopher's father-in-law and goes for a ride through a window, which angers Paulie a tad. Christopher drinks to make things right with Paulie and a new problem arises. 

It's Chasing It, the 16th episode of Season 6. Tony has a problem and now so do Hesh, Marie and Vito, Jr. Funny how that keeps happening. Dominos, man. Tony develops a big-time gambling addiction that causes problems throughout the family -- the real one -- and Carmella. She just sold a house to her cousin, Brian, and is worried about Hugh's craftmanship. A.J. gets engaged to Blanca, who has immediate second thoughts. But at least there's a parade.

It's Season 6, Episode 15: Remember When. Paulie and Tony take a little trip to Miami because the FBI found a body they hid under a house a couple decades ago. Oops. Tony tries to get Paulie to admit to the joke about Ginny, but there are no dice to be had. Junior makes a new friend in the hospital ward and then gets a beating from karma.
