One of the things I did during the pandemic was watch *The Sopranos* in its entirety -- I had seen various episodes of it before but had skipped whole seasons, and that is NOT a good way to watch *The Sopranos*, so this was a very worthwhile undertaking on my part, and it also means that I am EXTREMELY PREPARED to see its prequel here. I am fresh up on *The Sopranos!* I remember almost everything that happened now! And if you ALSO watched all of *The Sopranos* over the last 18 months and need someone to talk to you about it, I am here for you.

Anyway, the prequel comes out on HBOMax (and in actual movie theatres) on October 1st -- this is not an ad, just information, although if HBO wants to pay us, we'd be delighted -- and as you probably know already, James Gandolfini's son Michael is playing young Tony Soprano. (a) Those are huge shoes to fill, acting-wise, and I'm sure that's even harder when the actor is your Dad, (b) Gandolfini's death is still a gut punch, (b) this kid *really* looks like his Dad and I hope he's good in this. (PS: I guess [David Chase is quite irked that we can watch this on HBOMax,](https://deadline.com/2021/09/david-chase-sopranos-revival-the-many-saints-of-newark-disdain-day-date-bow-interested-in-another-prequel-film-1234828184/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) to which I say: Calm down, David.) (Having said that, that's a very interesting and expansive interview with Deadline. If you have not watched *The Sopranos*, it is CHOCKABLOCK with spoilers.) Let's see what all these folks wore to this thing! It was a hot ticket -- and it's fun to see the actors from the series posing with the actors who played their younger selves.
