Talking Sopranos

The Sopranos is my favorite show and I’m on my 4th rewatch now. I’m obsessed with this podcast, you guys crack me up and bring so much joy to my day on top of all the interesting knowledge and insights you share with us about the show and everything that went into it. Thank you!!🩷

Steve bobby baccala is stupid. Fine on the show. But his comments on this pod are very annoying and his comments reveal he is very stupid, poor memory, lack of logic. Enjoy the guest stars. Michael is fantastic but bobby bacala makes this unlistenable. Sorry Steve but you are too dumb for me. Stick to character work

Steve almost ruins the entire series with his constant sexism. He believes a woman place in the world is to cater to men and humble themselves to only the roles men see them fulfilling. If a wife or girlfriend isn’t 100% supportive, understanding and forgiving of their male “owner” in every scene - no matter how the man treats the woman - she is not good enough. Steve is not just talking Sopranos - this is how he really feels. Couldn’t the producers have figured out how this would turn off the female fans of the show after the first season & replaced Steve with another cast member who could prevent the constant drone of misogynistic commentary? Michael seems genuinely uncomfortable with some of Steve’s disses, but, there are so many “a gumba’s job is make every night Saturday Night for her man” that he cannot be fact-checking every 5 minutes. Yes - Steve judges the male characters for their criminality, but rarely for how they fail to be good partners to the female characters they use.

Schirripa makes this show obnoxious and unlistenable. I might’ve loved it if it were just Mr. Imperioli, or any other guest. Had a few interesting insights when Schirripa would finally shut up.
