This scene does such a good job of subverting audience expectations. You go in thinking it’s gonna be the usual trope of “obviously bullshit psychic uses cold reading to fool gullible idiots”, and it actually does sort of lean into that at first. But then it suddenly pulls backs and says ‘no seriously, this guy is the real deal and is legitimately talking to the ghosts of Paulie’s victims.’ What a mindfuck.
It's a unique twist that makes the scene interesting, adds more development for a character, results in a funny joke and even adds in world-building to the show hinting that the super-natural exists in this universe. And all this within a single 3 minute scene.
That's what I love about the show. It doesn't need a plot to drive it. Writers pull stuff almost out of thin air and it's still engaging and somehow helps develop the characters, the world around them and basically contributes something to the show.
Not to mention the bold decisions to do all these things that people wouldn't expect in a drama show like this. So many things about the show are almost like experiments and all of those actually work. What baffles me is that no show afterwards has tried most of those unconventional things. At least not one I have seen. The only thing that got common was the anti-hero\villain protagonist.
The problem is Paulie knows what he did and they are coming for him if I was murdered in cold blood nothing would satisfy me than to watch my killer die.
@@versalifekon6610 but the weird thing is that didn't seem to change him after that in the show... one would have thought he felt more spooked after that
Also Mikey managed to scare the fuck out of Paulie he was so freaked out he went straight to a priest and said his donations to the church should guarantee him a bed in heaven and he kept waking up at 3am screaming in his sleep I’d say Mikey Palmice got the best of Paulie 🤣🤣
It's a great scene, because the show conditions you to see the psychic as a fraud with all the vague stuff about the guy's dead dad. Then suddenly he's looking right into Paulie's soul and talking about 30 year old murder details. It's one of those magical realism moments that leaves you feeling a bit shook and uncertain.
It’s pretty clear that in the world of the sopranos, the supernatural and afterlife exist to an extent. Even if we ignore the psychic scene, think about all of Tony’s dreams. The White house. It gets bigger each time we see it. Every time tony directly or indirectly kills someone. Tony’s coma “dream” too. That was meant to be hell. Not a dream. What I don’t get is why some people are in denial about these things existing in the show lol all of those things add so much to the show. It’s amazing
@@rowmagnvs there were much more compelling bits that Tony's dreams which could be down to interpretation. The moving wine glasses, pussies reflection in the mirror, virgin Mary at the bing etc
"This guy seemed to be legit in his ability to speak to the dead (in the universe of the show)." I don't think so. The show takes place in (basically) the real world, but with fictional people, which means this power doesn't really exist. I think the scene was meant to show how it feels if you can't figure out how a psychic works (i.e. you're the intended audience) and they trick you. That's what it would feel like, like the guy just brought out some really specific information from nowhere. In other words, Paulie's a superstitious guy, so it works on him as if it really is a working magical power, and this is how it looks and feels TO HIM.
In the fictional universe of "the sopranos" there is an after life and the psychic does have real powers. There is no way he could know about the poison ivy. That is not cold reading or lucky guess. That is a legit supernatural power (in a TV show, of course)
***** I highly doubt that Paulie would have talked about his kills with his mistress. There is no way she could have known about Sonny Pagano (Paulie's first hit).
"Charles" - Miss! "Oh, you're with your son" "(Paulie) I aint got no kids" - Miss! "Oh, Sonny" "(Paulie) Pogano?" Hit! "Charles Pogano" "(Paulie) How the fuck d'you know that?" Cold reading. The "Psychic" offers vague, ambiguous phrases and it's the job of the audience to make them fit.
Cold reading techniques didn't give him Sonny Pagano's real first name (Charles) or tell him about the poison ivy that Paulie got on him when killing Mikey Palmice. Within this show's universe, this guy is a legit ghost-talker.
Undoubtedly one of the best and most original scenes in The Sopranos. I laugh my ass off every single time. Thank you for the memories Mr. Sirico. Rest well✝️
Woah that was trippy I saw your comment said 8d ago and the comment above you was 8y ago and I automatically assumed you’re was 8y ago as well until I read it. Just got done watching this scene during a rewatch and I laughed too but how did the guy know!?
Indeed! He was a freakin’ legend. Besides him in The Sopranos, I’ve seen him one time in Goodfellas, his voice acting in the Fairly Odd Parents as Big Daddy, and Vinny in Family Guy. We’ll truly miss him to this day. May his soul Rest In Peace. 🙏
Because you don’t expect him to do anything, just like Paulie. Obviously a show about gangsters is going to mimic the real world right? But when the psychic does it throws you off balance. A mob show that contains a CONFIRMED supernatural element to it is just-unsettling. And the fact that they don’t give any conclusion other than to show you it exists means it lurks in the background. It ends up being very creepy in its own right. A brilliant and risky decision by the writers
This scene is terrifying in hindsight. There's so many dream sequences, but this clearly isn't meant to be one. There is no way that psychic is aware of Paulie's body count, unless this show always had an underlying, supernatural element. Makes you wonder about that Virgin Mary appearance in the Bing.
@Pepi Roni Roni The bench dream scene where he got a chronic case of the shits after going for a curry, could be included, albeit a dream and not strictly supernatural..
@@grundian yeah they’re always talking about God. They’re Catholics who donate to the church but break the law and the whole concept of the teachings of Jesus and the church, all the time.
I always thought of the sopranos as a supernatural/spiritual show. If you really pay attention to it, there’s a lot of themes based on God/the spiritual world.
The episode where Tony dies briefly and is gravely ill, is almost entirely set within his experience of "crossing over" in the after life. Also his name is no longer Tony, but Kevin Finity which I assume could be Infinity. In this scene it takes him a long time to realise where he is, and that he's dying. As soon as he does realise it, he begins to fight it, and not too much after, he returns to his hospital bed.
+Kermit F Yeah, I've watched the Sopranos more times than I care to admit, but I can't figure out how the psychic new all this stuff. The poison ivy itching him...?
I don't think it was ever explained, though I never felt that they needed to. I think that in the world the characters live in, the supernatural is real and exists. (Remember how he also saw the Virgin Mary in season 6?) For these mobsters, the idea that the dead can still hang around and follow you around can probably really mess you up inside... just look how much it affected Paulie throughout the rest of the show. (3am, the cat, etc.) hahaha. I love how it gave much more depth to his character.
The funniest part about this scene is that the ghosts of the Mafia Goombah Wise Guys that Paulie killed totally interrupted the other ghost delivering an important message to a loved one to start breaking Pauline’s balls. LMFAO amazing writing - still degenerates even in death.
First time I realize he is throwing the chair at the ghost and calling them queers. I always thoguht he referred to the resto of the people attending the meeting. Awesome show, so many leveles, you always pick up something new.
He wouldn't have been fed the info, a little later in the episode Tony asked his about it, which Paulie replied "I used a fake name and called from an outside line"
David Chase has had many interviews about religion and he's always seemed to intimate about there being more of an "underworld" more than a heaven and a God.
The Sopranos wasn’t a show with supernatural premises and concepts. But you’ll usually get creepy, fleeting hints of something supernatural. An apparently genuine spirit medium, a black bird who shows up at Chris’s made man ceremony, and of course the unexpected and unnerving Marian apparition. It’s all done very well, but not done that often.
I loved this scene so much and Paulie's paranoia after Christopher warns him and Tony about what awaits them. It was such a great element to add to this show. The fear of what these men did and the judgment they'll someday have to face for these actions. And their warped views of how (in Tony's words) hell is for pedophiles and serial killers.
korlu01 Was it hot? The heat would've been the first thing you noticed, Hell is hot, that's never been disputed by anyone. You didn't go to hell, you went to Purgatory my friend!
@@yamaotostrike if you chedck that scene where paulie is with his gumah, you can hear shit clinging right at 3 o clock sharp. that was their sign that they were taunting paulie. not so bad though, they gave tony a heads up for his death. paulie just get's taunted. no biggie.
For me, this scene felt like one of the realest in the entire series. Superb acting by the leader of the seance. You can tell this is the moment Paulie truly starts to believe in the paranormal. He even thought Chrissy was visiting him as a cat!
haunted maybe but i think he’s protected especially with seeing the virgin mary at the bing. he’s always had good luck over and over again compared to everyone else and got out alive at the end
@@annanicole5494 funnily in this same seen @1:47 when they show another corner a ghost is in there is a virgin mary statue clothed/standing in same way as actual virgin mary at the bing
The psychic had to know that a good majority of The murdered souls by the hands of Paulie were also murderers in the previous life. Just one big, negative, foul mouthed cloud of angry murderous energy that came with this one guy that he never met. No wonder he was asking him to leave abruptly🤣 Such a great scene, btw. Went from seeming like such a sham to just plain creepy. How @00:48, the psychic is being interrupted while talking to the other spirit by Paulie’s spirit. (most likely Charles “Sonny” Pagano) How the psychics eyes fixate around the room, as if more and more spirits are huddling around Paulie, realizing that he has a person in his house that murdered a lot of people. Loved how these isolated but memorable moments of creepiness were snuck into the sopranos to fuck with the viewers mind.
Even from the dead they were still wise guys bullying the other ghost just so their voice could be heard!!!! You could tell they were interrupting the medium to make sure they got their message across….Incredible writing!!!!!!
You could tell that the psychic was distracted by something in Paulie's general direction when he was trying to communicate with the first guys dad. It was the hell bound souls of the people Paulie killed over the years. Just incase anyone doesn't know, the afterlife is canonical and real within the Sopranos universe and it's heavily connected to REM sleep, near death experiences and psychic personalities.
makes me wish they you could actually see how many ghosts are in the room with Paulie... could've been 10 or could've been 100 lmao but thinking about Mikey's grim reaper smile after being able to communicate with Paulie still has me laughing to this day
Its cool to imagine every time Paulie fucks up on the show the ghost of Mikey is stood behind him laughing about it. I suspect he was pissing ectoplasm when Paulie lost his shoe in the snow.
I love how paulie’s ghosts are literally talking over the other people’s so to speak. The way the psychic keeps looking over at Paulie cracks me up he’s clearly being distracted lol.
I love how the start the psychic out by him looking over at Paulie a few times until he sees and heard more and more spirits talking to him and he just eventually gets up and ignores the first guy he was talking to to go straight to Paulie. Really starts a conversation with the audience
Of all the things that gets me with this scene and show, it's the table in the background with peaceful coffee cups, cookies and snacks & Paulie unhinged throwing a metal chair. lol🤣😂
What’s really funny is if you pay attention it’s clearly not a cold reading by the way the guy makes completely accurate statements that he has no way of knowing otherwise. Theres no way he guessed the guys dads name then immediately gets the guys name right after likewise theres no way hes know Charles was Paulies first or about the poison ivy situation
The opening of this was so well acted by everyone right down to the guy in the suit listening intently. Daniel nailed the reaction of someone in that situation. I love how you see Paulie transition from nervous skepticism to outright mind blown fear.
I love how in the Sopranos we have multiple instances where the supernatural or afterlife exist. This scene. The scene where Christopher says he went to hell and talked to Brandon and Mikey Palmice “3 o clock”. Paulie once said he saw the Virgin Mary at the Bing.
Paulie was a hilarious character in The Sopranos. He always had that typical old school Italian fun style but very aggressive and extremely violent when wrong button was pushed. My favourite was Tony Soprano but if i had to choose a second favourite character it would have been Paulie. I was devastated when I heard that James Gandolfini (Tony) passed away months ago. He was one of my top actors and I had a lot of respect for him. A big loss for all of us. God bless his soul and I am grateful he made me and all of us enjoy The Sopranos to the maximum. Great times.
i was surprised we didn't see him dead (paulie) ive seen the series 2-3 times and he did some MAJOR dirt with little or no remorse and he lives happy ever after with his "mother" eating cookies
Loved james in that movie with Christian Slater (true romance?) where he was the hitman and chick (Alabama?) stabbed him in the foot with the corkscrew. He was great!
the funniest thing about this is that you can interpret everything the psychic refers to as some sort of sexual innuendo for Paulie, like all his "firsts," if something "still itches," and of course what he yells when throwing the damn chair lol
It's interesting that the supernatural is "real" in the Sopranos lore but it's just kinda a footnote, nothing that important happens around it (Puss in the mirror, Ade returning as a cat, and this scene)
😅😅 Funniest scene ever. The funny part to me is seeing how defensive Paulie gets by calling the psychic sick and satanic while at the same time being called out by the spirits of the people he's murdered. Freaking great writing. 😂😅
The way the psychic said “I’m asking you to leave” made me think instead of asking paulie to leave due to his actions It was probably because paulie brought a lot of murder victims into that rooms
He threw the chair at the ghosts lol
Didn't do any good lol
Lol and called em fucking queers!!!...
He threw it at where he thought they were. That's the best part.
Yeah... that’s paulie. Dude lost his shoe in the woods and almost froze to death. Killed a guy over a restaurant bill. Loves his mother.
Paulie.
Best part.

Mikey Palmice they still haven’t found a cure for that fuckfaceitis
Moolinyan what boys that Tone
Magnus Djembe the one you sleep with
That’s terrifying
Fuckfaceitus is unfortunately incurable Mikey
"Now he's saying to go take a Midol !"
He said on the other side there’s a cure for Fuckfacitis.
@@Alan_Page he said the boy was doing well
"Satanic Black Magic, Sick Shit" " Fucken Quuuueeees!!" aaaahahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂
8D Rose4 Dark Knight it was more like fuckin quizzzz! 😄
He was asking him to leave because he was slowly realizing that Paulie is a murderer.
Edit: Okay guys, I get it. I’m captain obvious.
Sherlock Holms ova heree
yea, you musta been top of your class..
@@iggyeo6458 didn't he almost drown in 3 inches of water?
sharp as a cue ball this guy
@@LumpyAdams :nods: penguin exhibit...
The psychic had to know that a good majority of The murdered souls by the hands of Paulie were also murderers in the previous life. Just one big, negative, foul mouthed cloud of angry murderous energy that came with this one guy that he never met. No wonder he was asking him to leave abruptly🤣
Such a great scene, btw. Went from seeming like such a sham to just plain creepy. How @00:48, the psychic is being interrupted while talking to the other spirit by Paulie’s spirit. (most likely Charles “Sonny” Pagano)
How the psychics eyes fixate around the room, as if more and more spirits are huddling around Paulie, realizing that he has a person in his house that murdered a lot of people.
Loved how these isolated but memorable moments of creepiness were snuck into the sopranos to fuck with the viewers mind.
Even from the dead they were still wise guys bullying the other ghost just so their voice could be heard!!!! You could tell they were interrupting the medium to make sure they got their message across….Incredible writing!!!!!!
I love how Paulie’s eyes light up when he mentions Charles Pagano
You could tell that the psychic was distracted by something in Paulie's general direction when he was trying to communicate with the first guys dad. It was the hell bound souls of the people Paulie killed over the years.
Just incase anyone doesn't know, the afterlife is canonical and real within the Sopranos universe and it's heavily connected to REM sleep, near death experiences and psychic personalities.
I love that detail, Like Paulies victims are interrupting with the ongoing session
He really did see the Virgin Mary, it wasn't a hallucination. Tony didn't see her because he was looking for validation for his misdeeds.
makes me wish they you could actually see how many ghosts are in the room with Paulie... could've been 10 or could've been 100 lmao but thinking about Mikey's grim reaper smile after being able to communicate with Paulie still has me laughing to this day
" How tha fuck do you know that ???!!!
Don´t Fuck with me, Who you been talking too ??!! "
LMAO
there's that ghost just hovering near him....he can't see that?
Love that Mikey is even a jerk in the afterlife, butting in line while the guy is trying to communicate with his dead dad.
Despite all the violence that we saw in this show, this scene, to me, was one of the most chilling
Who have you murdered?
That demented little camera push at 2:30 really makes the whole scene.
When he throws the chair "ya fuckin kweeaz" favorite part of the whole series
Paulie was always so great with his exits never ceases to amaze me
I like how he says "do you really want me to say" gesturing to the rest of the living people on the room. I also like the line. "That one is laughing"
Now the psychic is talking to Paulie. RIP Tony.
Palmice a badass "does it still itch?" LOL!
"That one's laughing! Poison ivy? He wants to know if it still itches." Still one of the great Paulie reaction scenes. ;-)
It's just so funny how paulie is all arrogant at first making fun of it until the psychic comes over to him
Its cool to imagine every time Paulie fucks up on the show the ghost of Mikey is stood behind him laughing about it. I suspect he was pissing ectoplasm when Paulie lost his shoe in the snow.
I love how paulie’s ghosts are literally talking over the other people’s so to speak. The way the psychic keeps looking over at Paulie cracks me up he’s clearly being distracted lol.
I love how the start the psychic out by him looking over at Paulie a few times until he sees and heard more and more spirits talking to him and he just eventually gets up and ignores the first guy he was talking to to go straight to Paulie. Really starts a conversation with the audience
It's the mysticism of the show that brings me back to it. The dreams, sequences like this, "3 o'clock."
"The spirit put him on hold"....lmaooooooo
Paulie was a funny bastard.
I think this guy is def legit. There’s definitely some supernatural shit going on in the show.
RIP Mr. Sirico. Now you can put the rest of us 'on hold.'
Mikey Palmici breaking balls from the great beyond! That's next level trolling lol!
Just realised the mobsters kept interrupting the psychic for having to wait 🤣😆 You can actually imagine what they are saying 😆
"Ey, why you breakin' my balls ova here!" 😂😅
Watched this scene a million times but just realized he tries throwing the chair at the ghosts lol
Gotta love how Paulie is a cold blooded killer but can't handle "Satanaic Black Magic".
Rip Tony
This might be the funniest moment in the entire series.
Lol even ghosts are still afraid of how crazy paulie is.
The poison ivy bit literally gave me chills.
Paulie could’ve been the fifth Ghostbuster
After watching the many saints of newark all I can say is: Talking with the dead is canon now. This guy was legit.
With all the dream sequences and whatnot I think this guy might be the real deal in the show
Of all the things that gets me with this scene and show, it's the table in the background with peaceful coffee cups, cookies and snacks & Paulie unhinged throwing a metal chair. lol🤣😂
Kinda strange that in the Sopranos universe, ghosts are real.
Catholics. Am I right! 😉 😂
What’s really funny is if you pay attention it’s clearly not a cold reading by the way the guy makes completely accurate statements that he has no way of knowing otherwise. Theres no way he guessed the guys dads name then immediately gets the guys name right after likewise theres no way hes know Charles was Paulies first or about the poison ivy situation
"He wants you to put remote on docking station..."
He wants to wash his balls with the snow.
"FUKKEN QUEAAS!!!!". Paulie and Junior had the best lines of the series
Paulie's facial expression at 1:04. Priceless!
What's the problem? ........What the hells a matta?
I love how he gets up n goes what's the problem lmaooo
It was satanic black magic!
The opening of this was so well acted by everyone right down to the guy in the suit listening intently. Daniel nailed the reaction of someone in that situation. I love how you see Paulie transition from nervous skepticism to outright mind blown fear.
Yo son this was the funniest scene in the whole series had me dying 😂😂😂 🤣
3:01 "Where's your Crown King Nothing!!!"...
Nucky Mancini HELL YEAH!!
I love how in the Sopranos we have multiple instances where the supernatural or afterlife exist. This scene. The scene where Christopher says he went to hell and talked to Brandon and Mikey Palmice “3 o clock”. Paulie once said he saw the Virgin Mary at the Bing.
what I love about the show is that it lets a lot of things unexplained, just like you see them in real life.
RIP Tony Sirico! Came to watch this soon as I heard about it man damn
How the fuck do you know that? at 2:15...lol. Paulie rocks!
The way paulie looks here is gold 1:02 😂😂😂
Paulie was a hilarious character in The Sopranos. He always had that typical old school Italian fun style but very aggressive and extremely violent when wrong button was pushed. My favourite was Tony Soprano but if i had to choose a second favourite character it would have been Paulie. I was devastated when I heard that James Gandolfini (Tony) passed away months ago. He was one of my top actors and I had a lot of respect for him. A big loss for all of us. God bless his soul and I am grateful he made me and all of us enjoy The Sopranos to the maximum. Great times.
i was surprised we didn't see him dead (paulie) ive seen the series 2-3 times and he did some MAJOR dirt with little or no remorse and he lives happy ever after with his "mother" eating cookies
@JapFish
Not Italian? I don't get it.
Loved james in that movie with Christian Slater (true romance?) where he was the hitman and chick (Alabama?) stabbed him in the foot with the corkscrew. He was great!
It’s like my uncle 😂, funny not even trying to be but can get mad and has their own view of things but everyone else is wrong, I love it !
Sorry for you man but last friday tony sirico died
the funniest thing about this is that you can interpret everything the psychic refers to as some sort of sexual innuendo for Paulie, like all his "firsts," if something "still itches," and of course what he yells when throwing the damn chair lol
"That one is wearing a motorcycle outfit, like in the village people"
FUKKIN QUEEAHS
-Paulie Walnuts
Rest In Peace legend
It's interesting that the supernatural is "real" in the Sopranos lore but it's just kinda a footnote, nothing that important happens around it (Puss in the mirror, Ade returning as a cat, and this scene)
😅😅 Funniest scene ever. The funny part to me is seeing how defensive Paulie gets by calling the psychic sick and satanic while at the same time being called out by the spirits of the people he's murdered. Freaking great writing. 😂😅
Great fu**in' show. God I miss it
Paulie threw that hair at the ghosts lol.
The way the psychic said “I’m asking you to leave” made me think instead of asking paulie to leave due to his actions
It was probably because paulie brought a lot of murder victims into that rooms
This is hands down the funniest part of the entire series, I almost cried laughing first time i watched this.
2:41 onward makes me wonder what would happen if Paulie ran into a brony convention
Afterlife is true according to the prequel movie. Chris is narrating from the grave.
