One of my favorite things about rewatching the Sopranos is the constant reminder of what an absolute fucking banger the theme song is

My friend had a podcast where his guests revisit something from their childhood to see how it holds up and this was one I took on there.
I’m not gonna say it holds up flawlessly, but as a kids adventure movie, it holds together pretty well. Bonus: theres some really solid cinematography throughout
