About this listen
On January 10, 1999, a mobster walked into a psychiatrist's office and changed TV history. By shattering preconceptions about the kinds of stories the medium should tell, The Sopranos launched our current age of prestige television, paving the way for such giants as Mad Men, The Wire, Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones.
As TV critics for Tony Soprano's hometown paper, New Jersey's Star-Ledger, Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz were among the first to write about the series before it became a cultural phenomenon.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show's debut, Sepinwall and Seitz have reunited to produce The Sopranos Sessions, a collection of recaps, conversations, and critical essays covering every episode. Featuring a series of new long-form interviews with series creator David Chase, as well as selections from the authors' archival writing on the series, The Sopranos Sessions explores the show's artistry, themes, and legacy, examining its portrayal of Italian Americans, its graphic depictions of violence, and its deep connections to other cinematic and television classics.
Contains mature themes.

The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told - sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others.

These 12 shows, and the many more they made possible, ushered in a new golden age of television, one that made people take the medium more seriously than ever before. Alan Sepinwall became a TV critic right before this creative revolution began, was there to chronicle this incredible moment in pop culture history, and along the way changed the nature of television criticism.

In Oscar Wars, Michael Schulman chronicles the remarkable, sprawling history of the Academy Awards and the personal dramas—some iconic, others never-before-revealed—that have played out on the stage and off camera. Unlike other books on the subject, each chapter takes a deep dive into a particular year, conflict, or even category that tells a larger story of cultural change, from Louis B. Mayer to Moonlight. Schulman examines how the red carpet runs through contested turf, and the victors aren't always as clear as the names drawn from envelopes.

For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight - or the headlines. Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years - all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception.

When Nicholas Meyer was asked to direct the troubled second Star Trek film, he was something less than a true believer. A best-selling author and successful director, he had never been a fan of the TV series. But as he began to ponder the appeal of Kirk, Spock, et al., he realized that their story was a classical nautical adventure yarn transplanted into space and - armed with that insight - set out on his mission: to revitalize Trek.

Beloved stage and screen actor Danny Aiello’s big-hearted memoir reveals a man of passion, integrity, and guts - and lays bare one of the most unlikely success stories ever told. Danny Aiello admits that he backed into his acting career by mistake. That’s easy to see when you begin at the beginning: Raised by his loving and fiercely resilient mother in the tenements of Manhattan and the South Bronx, and forever haunted by the death of his infant brother, Danny struggled early on to define who he was and who he could be.

Brilliant!
Excellent, gets better as it progresses. The synopsis of each episode is sometimes brief but there is a wealth of information and insight. The conversations in the second half of the book are very enjoyable and make you feel like you’re listening to “water cooler” conversations with the occasional “aha” moment of clarity for listeners who may have missed subtle clues!

A masterpiece
If you call yourself a fan of the sopranos this is a must listen. Literally breaks down each episode and brings things to your attention they may have missed. Gives multiple perspectives to the sopranos differing in what type of viewer you are. Great conversations with chase where he slips up about what happens to Tony and much more!

interview with chase
cuppa things stood out like the interviewer asked chse if Bobby was made he said he didn't know probably not but in 6 21 Tony is talking to June and said Bobby is a made guy. he also said Tony was only woth 1.2 mill but the house was1.2 mil and the boat was 3 mil... what we need is a prequel show with an up and coming Tony starting from the night he passed out and missed the job with his cousin.

If you’re into the Sopranos…this is for you
Lots of fun to relive all the episodes. The authors are very insightful and I actually would have appreciated longer episodes recaps.

Narrator should do EVERY book
This gentleman does not hesitate to pronounce every name and word CORRECTLY. There are narrators here (looking at you, Jake Gyllenhall, who can barely pronounce English.
Mr. Barrett, I salute you.
Bool is good, too.

Excellent
Deep dive into sopranos analysis. They got it mostly right, a few things I’d disagree with, but overall dead on.
Also I think this was Joe Barrett’s best narration. He’s not my favorite narrator, but he did a great job here.

A must-have for Sopranos fans
Even if fans may disagree with the author's takes on certain eps, I feel this is a book every Sopranos fan should own. A great history of the show, overview of all eps, and more features. Excellent narration as well.

Almost disappointed
I thought I was going to be upset because I wanted questions answered and all I was hearing was well the episodes all over again. But then it happened towards the end about 6-5 hours left a questions and answers happened, everything I wanted to know … So overall it was worth it.
