Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Summer of Sam) and I do an impromptu podcast - and it's so relaxed that you'll have a 100% different experience than when you listened to his original episode of Really Famous.

You'll hear:

  • 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
