Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Summer of Sam) and I do an impromptu podcast. It's SO relaxed that it’s a 100% different experience than listening to his original episode of Really Famous.

OUR 3rd TALK (Live in New York):

OUR 2nd TALK:

OUR 1st TALK:

Join Michael Imperioli and me as we talk:

• Who he based Christopher Moltisanti on (a real-life person! who has no idea!)

• Why he said "F that" about David Chase

• Why he knew James Gandolfini really well, but Edie Falco didn't

• Who he stays in touch with from The Sopranos

• Who he hangs out with

• What he does when he's bored

• What his kids think of him in The Sopranos and Goodfellas

• Why he moved to Santa Barbara

• Why he recently moved back to New York and is now bicoastal

We also:

• Are so relaxed that it's actually quite amusing

• Bond over childhood TV and our favorite shows now

• Analyze Spike Lee

• Laugh at each other

• Overanalyze this conversation ... and then don't
