Now we’ll finally find out if Anthony had the makings of a varsity athlete.
The trailer for the Sopranos prequel looks intriguing. I’ll be watching it (or seeing it in the theater, even?) for sure. Loved the coffee as health food piece. I must be a freakin’ specimen of health! And I loved Andrea on EIF.
I loved the Andrea episode! There aren’t enough podcasts, IMO, about clothes and fashion without being the *business* of fashion. I hope she comes back soon!
So many good links! I was unable to read the health benefits of coffee (I’ve reached my NYTimes limit), BUT I do want to say my oncologist told me to drink one cup o’joe per day after I recovered from colon cancer surgery. So I do. And I’m very happy about it (and this year marks my 10 years cancer free––not that the coffee had anything to do with that, but still…). Have a fun and safe Fourth everyone!!
That news makes me so happy, CW. Let’s celebrate!
cw, CONGRATS on 10 years of being cancer free. That’s wonderful! xo
So excited to see Saints of Newark coming in October! It’s a family affair for me as I’m related to a cast member and we’ve been waiting for it for a loooonnng time because shooting was so delayed by Covid. David Chase is at it again and I think it will measure up to an episode of the Sopranos.
Watched the trailer Kim posted just this morning for Many Saints and didn’t know beforehand that Michael Gandolfini is playing his dad’s part. Blew my socks sideways (in a good way). Wowzer.
I grew up in NJ and a very long time ago…..saw some minor “things that didn’t happen” through a former boyfriend and some acquaintances at certain evening establishments. I would love it if they made the prequel into a series.
