kimberly31+FollowDid the Pope Almost Go Full Sopranos?Apparently, one of the frontrunners for the new pope looked just like Uncle Junior from The Sopranos, and the internet did NOT let it slide. People were dropping memes, quoting the show, and even joking about a 'varsity pontiff.' In the end, Pietro Parolin didn’t get the job, but now I can’t stop picturing a mob boss running the Vatican. Also, fun fact: the new pope is American—for the first time ever! #TheSopranos #PapalConclave #PopCulture #ViralMoment #UncleJunior #Culture124Share

Scorsese thought the show’s suburban setting—full of trees and big houses—didn’t fit his idea of the mafia world. Wild considering how much The Sopranos was inspired by Goodfellas! Fans are now debating: does a mob story need gritty city streets, or did The Sopranos redefine the genre? #TheSopranos #Scorsese #MafiaDebate #TVDrama #FanForum #Entertainment72Share
