Our second episode focuses on The Sopranos, created by David Chase in 1999, one of the most heralded shows in the “Golden Age of Television”. We focus specifically on Tony Soprano and his experience of therapy with Dr Melfi. Steph does an amazing impression of Edie Falco. Michael uses some controversial psychiatric terms and makes rude comments about toxoplasmosis. It is long. I’m sorry. Perfect for your 2 hour exercise window!
TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNING: Episode contains references to violence, rape, suicide, panic attacks.
Also American Psycho came out in 2000… you blew it Michael.
Hosted & edited by Stephanie Fornasier. Cohost, music production & artwork by Michael Watson.
