Xbox Layoffs and the PlayStation Disc Disaster

Grab the gabagol, secure the McMansion, and embrace the technique of positive visualization: Jason, Maddy, and Kirk are rewatching The Sopranos, one of the most acclaimed and influential TV shows of all time. Maddy’s never seen it before, and Kirk has seen it multiple times but hasn’t watched it in years. Jason, meanwhile, can quote every episode by heart. Armed with those different perspectives, they returned to the first season to see how it all fits together.
