0:00 – On this episode we discuss:
00:55 – The Penguin, Wiseguy: David Chase and The Sopranos, Chimp Crazy and More That We’ve Been Watching. 
02:49 – The Penguin
We get into our initial thoughts on the first episode of the new spin off of 2022’s The Batman. Colin Farrell is back, covered in prosthetics, and it is hard not to get into comparisons to The Sopranos. No major spoilers are given, so check it out!
24:28 – Wise Guy: David Chase And The Sopranos
Our favorite television curmudgeon, David Chase, sits down in a replica of Melfi’s office and is interviewed about his life and The Sopranos. This is perfect for us! What did we think of the documentary?!
48:14 – Chimp Crazy
Both Jim and Jakob have been watching Chimp Crazy! All four episodes have been released and Jim and Jakob get into their thoughts on the docuseries as well as the overall ethics involved. Are the filmmakers complicit?
1:10:55 – Agatha All Along & The Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power
Jakob has a two-fer for us! He has watched the first two episodes of Agatha All Along and has some thoughts. He has also watched some of season 2 of Rings Of Power and he is not coming through that positive.

Welcome to episode 3 of “The Podcast About the Podcasts About Television” where we delve into the torride tale of Drea De Matteo trying to launch some sort of Sopranos podcast! Jim and Jakob learn that it isn’t just as easy as coasting on your celebrity and star status and simply launching a rewatch podcast of the show you are starred on. It takes commitment and timing, two things that seemed to crash and burn around the Adriana actress as she first launched her show in the shadow of Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa’s “Talking Sopranos”.
It seems between being edged out of the initial Sopranos rewatch market there were also some issues with the podcast network they initially launched with, as a short time later, Drea and her close friend and entrepeneur Chris Kushner attempted to launch another Sopranos podcast on their own entitled Gangster Goddess. Jim and Jakob have done the leg work and bring your the crash and burn of both endeavors on the latest TPATPAT!
