  • The Sopranos is one of the best series ever made. The gangster show has many Sopranos Theories, where fans like to discuss different things on the show that were left open to interpretation, like what happened to the Russian? Did Ralph really kill the horse? Was Phil Leotardo gay?
    Some Sopranos Theories are funny, some serious and thought provoking, and some are wild. Let's discuss one of the weirded Sopranos Theories that comes from the Talkin Sopranos podcast, regarding Bobby Bacala and Uncle Junior.

    I wonder if this is Imperioli taking shots at Schrripa via a pseudonym. And then he points the finger at his own faults, either to cover his tracks or vent self-hatred. Or hatred of the podcast, trying to create an escape hatch from the Schrripa Universe.

    Schrippa and Imperioli had entirely too much schtick. The Sopranos podcast had great moments when Imperioli interviewed other actors about their shared craft and career experiences. He shouldve done it alone and kept it just about acting. The summaries of episodes with half assed analysis was utterly skippable.

    It seems as though Imperioli may have written these letters, or at least he knew who was writing them. He certainly took delight in reading them out as well as being quick(or well prepared) to suggest multiple names to fit the initials.
    Perhaps it may be worth looking at Michael's other written work, to compare writing styles and see if their are any patterns or phrases which match the letters by A.S.

It got the point that whenever Schirripa would hit one of his tangents I would say “hey Siri skip the podcast 1 minute.” Then it became 2 minutes. Then it became 5 minutes…. I swear it cut the podcast lengths in half sometimes and I never missed any of the actual content by skipping his crap.

    I don't necessarily think it's funny, but it is a fair read regardless of intent. To me at least.
    I do believe in death of the author, but thats most definitely not to say I find the author's intentions irrelevant or that I don't find it mad interesting to look into some of the author's unintentional injections into a story. Things that go deeper into the subconscious of a storyteller than what's on the paper that can manifest in a number of ways and is almost never concrete. Most, if not all, artists imbue their works with ideas that were never necessarily intended. Pulling them out is one of the most enjoyable parts of appreciating art.
    People like Steve obviously disagree, for whatever reason. Which is fine. What anmoys me is when they act like people are weirdos for digging a little deeper.
    While Michael may be a little pretentious and hold contradictory beliefs or disgusting ones like karma, I still believe he really does love the arts. Not sure Steve does beyond "that's fun", "thats pretty", thats sad" type analysis lol

    I enjoyed listening to several episodes on youtube for background noise while doing housework because I'm a hardcore fan of the sopranos. but most of the time i'm thinking both of them are either goofing on the audience or they're both a couple of dunderheads, steve, obviously being the more obnoxious of the two. whatever the case, it wasn't very good, but it still gave me another way to enjoy the sopranos long after the series ended

    Shirippa’s character on Blue Bloods is really whiny and annoying..
    Can’t have him in the club house no more

    I like that show I did let you know. I didn’t look happy there they didn’t but whatever.

    I'm surprised at Steve bothering to do the podcast but not putting in the effort to do a good job.
