It's a Christopher episode and for that, Lord, we are thankful. Christopher's big day isn't all it was cracked up to be, Jackie peepees his little pants, Will doesn't moan, and Atticus is concerned anti-war songs are corny.

It is just great to be back. Paulie kills it out of nowhere with an extended shoelace rant, Baby Bing arrives impeccably dressed, Will calls out Atticus for doing tropes, and they discuss which of Tony's crew would be wearing masks in 2020. Now cut the morbid shit.

Funhouse? Fun episode! Atticus and Will are starting to think this Sopranos show might be pretty good. Tony does big farts and gets depression in his stomach and Will pitches his idea to produce a realistic sound library of farts and poops to replace the somewhat lacking stock sound used for the episode.

Down the inside, it's Verstappen, back on the throttle holding 3rd, these hard tyres are not holding the grip like he's expecting - what? Oh, Sopranos ? Bit of miscommunication here... Hmm, well I guess it's another episode of The Sopranos: Live with Atticus and Will and it's pretty much what you've been expecting.

It's a messy episode. A messy eppy. Hope you enjoy.

The boys are back and they're here to ping-pong between their hatred of tech journalism and critical art theory. Atticus dives into the deep end with Italian vs Irish racism while Will explains how he approaches appraising and understanding art. Big Pussy Vibes Only Please. Also something might have happened in The Sopranos episode...

Finally, the episode Will has been dying to get to for weeks! Carmela is very good, Furio is very good, and Tony is very good. Atticus wants to try ricotta pie and Will wants Adriana to find a new king. How could this happen?!
Oct 01, 2019
The return! Atticus and Will are back to discuss "D-Girl" at last. It's a damn doozy for sure and the boys treat it with the care and respect it deserves. Jon Favreau guest stars.

It's performance review time. We need you to be as honest as possible about how you've done as a listener and what your strengths and weaknesses are. Do you follow Atticus on Twitter? Do you follow Will? One of those is a strength and one is a weakness. How do you think the show is going on your end? Is there anything we can do to get your performance up? https://twitter.com/atticuslol https://twitter.com/harbingerhelper...

The boys are finally back and it's to record one of truly one of the worst episodes of any podcast ever. Tony proves himself king alpha dumb guy once again although it's Silvio's episode. Will sympathizes with Tony's desire to be a normie and Atticus does interesting and thoughtful social commentary. So why don't you join us?

This week Atticus and Will tackle Season 2 Episode 5. Will gets riled up thinking about spaghetti and endorses some very violent behavior, Atticus brings weird host energy, and Christopher proves definitively that he has no issues with his father.

It’s your regularly scheduled Sopranos: Live: with Atticus and Will for Season 2 Episode 4: Commendatori! Not for the first time, Atticus and Will have more than enough Sopranos goodness to discuss from Paulie’s absolutely stunning performance, the whole gang in Italy, the introduction of one of Atticus’s favorite characters, and a very awkward encounter at a party supply store. But instead of all that, our boys are back to their old tricks by discussing their Windows machines. Would it surprise...

It's a good episode, folks. Atticus and Will agree it's a good but spend the majority of the episode talking about the Democratic primary debates. So, pretty par for the course focus-wise. Will reads some listener mail, the boys discuss "hobo" and "backtalk", and more.

Nope, your calendar must be malfunctioning because it's been the normal time between episodes. This week Atticus and Will are talking the second episode of season two. Topics discussed and settled: Will disagrees with the direction the writers have taken Meadow and AJ, Bobby is one of Atticus's favorite characters, the boys reminisce about one of the basements of their collective past, Atticus flexes on Uncle Junior and what makes you a Ben Carson-esque multi-hyphenate?

To kick off the second season of The Sopranos: Live the boys meet up in beautiful Iowa City, Iowa for a special live episode joined by friends of the show Ian and Noah. They're here to share mics and share Sopranos expertise. Tony's sister is in town, Pussy is dummy thic, someone just destroyed Livia's toilet, and Adriana needs a new man. Now what's the damn underwears that babies wear?

The boys return for the season one finale. Will and Atticus trade bad takes on auteurs and discuss the moral quandary: should Quentin Tarantino put his actors in danger? and Tarantino requests Margot Robbie shows feet, dear. After a satisfying death, a heartwarming speech from Tony, and some unprofessional behavior from Melfi, the official Sopranos podcast offers its thoughts on the first season. Look out next week for a potential live episode to kick off season two.

It's unclear why this image appears when you Google search "Isabella" but it's obvious that it's an important artifact. Atticus and Will address the penultimate episode of season 1, Isabella. Tony imagines a neighbor, Melfi acts unprofessionally, and Will grows tired of Uncle Junior. The boys also discuss how well Atticus carries his name.

It's Sopranos Time o'clock am. Or is it pm? Atticus gets defensive about his inability to tell time and Will presses his advantage. Someone is a rat and Tony surprises everyone with the emotional intelligence to deal with it. Atticus has a thought about the importance of work but kinda loses the thread halfway through and Will cleans up his mess. I mean what else could you want? It's the 11th time they've put it all out for you.
Apr 27, 2019
We're back, boys and gentlemen! Atticus and Will continue to deal with the fallout from the expanding chasm after Will claimed not to know who Michael Avenatti and it's uhhh not good. It's a tense episode with Atticus tirelessly hosting and Will at a 4/20 party as usual. In Sopranos land, it's an Adriana ep who attempts to break into the music industry as a producer and the boys deal with an interesting question: is The Sopranos Politically Good?

Are you a billionaire writer? How about an absurdly popular HBO series about to start your final season? A substitute teacher seduced by a student? A dumb old man biting into a cherry tomato with your front teeth? Oh boy I wouldn't want to be you right now because the boys are finally back and they have their cross hairs set on JK Rowling, Game of Thrones, Mary Beth Haglin, and Denethor II, son of Ecthelion II. It's a dark episode of The Sopranos and The Sopranos Live: Atticus and Will treat it ...

We're back baby, finally an episode with something for everyone. This week the official Sopranos pod discusses almost exclusively The Sopranos, and it's a big one. Christoper takes center stage, struggling with work, technology, writing, and bakeries, AJ steals the show when the FBI raids the Soprano home, and Atticus gives the absolute worst overview of the Sacco and Vanzetti case to date. Listen here...

It's finally time to jump fully back into the world of AJ. AJ, Atticus and Will all receive feedback that they should avoid sacramental wine when it's Sopranos time, Marvel gets a stern talking to, why did everyone have those awful plastic covers on them during the 70s?, drunk middle schoolers remind Atticus of sober middle school Atticus, and Tony lays it all out in the basement. It's really all there. Listen here....
