Talking Sopranos #37 w/guest Steve Buscemi 'Pine Barrens'

This week it’s Pine Barrens with guest Steve Buscemi....need I say more? This episode of the Sopranos is one of the greatest hours in the history of television. Now Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa break it down scene by scene. We kick things off with an interview with Steve Buscemi who directed the episode and was nominated for an Emmy for his work. Steve talks about how the idea for the story came from a dream by Tim Van Patten, and how the episode randomly dropped to him to direct. He shares stories about how Jersey wouldn’t approve the show's permits so the outdoor scenes had to be shot in Harriman State Park, NY rather than NJ. How the snow was a complete accident and what it took to get Tony Sirico to mess up those wings.
Then before Michael and Steve break down the episode we better check the Wing-o-Meter. In this episode Tony goes from level one to level four and all the way to total bozo!
