Too Old For This Shit #2.2: The Penguin - “Inside Man”
Added 2024-10-04 10:00:12 +0000 UTC“Her eating a bunch of pasta with her bare hands was, oddly, doing it for me” - Andrew on Sofia Falcone’s barbaric buffet behavior
On this edition of Too Old For This Shit, we’re talking about the table-setting second episode of The Penguin, “Inside Man”! How fabulous of a cast addition is Theo Rossi? Does anyone else carry around a walking bottle of Pepto-Bismol like Oz? How great is this hijacking scene? What was it like working for Pinchy? Can we make Mrs. Cobb way less Livia Soprano already? And could anyone but the mafia have two grisly murders take place during a funeral reception? PLUS: Eating pasta with both hands? Yes, please!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news lol but there was some nudity in the first episode if I recall properly. At least a little bit of titty. I could be misremembering though!

2024-10-16 04:06:46 +0000 UTCI would say the mother thing isn't too similar to Sopranos. Livia in Sopranos is incredibly toxic and annoying and just talks crap Tony all the time. Oz's mom, while a little unorthodox, seems to have a more loving relationship with him. Oz definitely loves his mother and he tends to receive it back. Tony loves his mother, and she couldn't care less

2024-10-09 16:21:52 +0000 UTCeven with the general sopranos comparison, it feels like the Oz&Ma is still its own thing. though if his mom starts to plot against him then we might be in trubbs

2024-10-05 19:03:21 +0000 UTCWatching Sofia Falcone two fisting a plate of pasta is like watching Homer Simpson chowing down brownies with George Harrison at the Grammys.

2024-10-04 23:17:20 +0000 UTCYes!! We're watching this over dinner in the next few minutes. Can't wait, this show is incredible. It's weird to have to wait week to week--twice for the WLM. lol Love you guys, Erick, thanks so much to you and Ben for the new ride-along in the squad car. Best of luck on tour, don't forget to wear the blue!

2024-10-04 23:02:18 +0000 UTCAndrew, I had the exact same thought as you did w/r/t Vic needing to pretend to have been stealing the jewels. but really feels like Oz was setting him up to fail, I mean- break into a car during a heavily policed (in one meaning of the word) funeral? kid was screwed from the jump

2024-10-04 21:24:50 +0000 UTCOut of all the Batman villains I feel like Penguin is the best employer for sure. You know the pay is great. He doesn't experiment on you with toxic gas. He doesn't decide your fate with a flip of a coin. He doesn't freeze your balls. He only kindly asks of you to not put cilantro in his food and I'm sorry but I have to agree. I hate it too.

2024-10-04 17:40:49 +0000 UTCIf The Batman is a dick to Oz I am going to consider changing sides.

2024-10-04 16:55:42 +0000 UTCI think she sees through Oz playing up to her but also recognizes that it is a symbol of him being submissive and actually wanting to help or at least being useful and this is being written well enough I think there is another layer under there where she is ALSO deep in the bag of this shit to actually have it mean something to her in the same way it does for the dudes both because that is how she has been trained to recognize human interaction AND because it means she is being treated like they do

2024-10-04 16:21:13 +0000 UTCHappy to confirm that Jupin is correct: Tums Chewy Bites are delicious and far superior to the chalk tablets. Only downside is that they taste so good, I will eat them even without indigestion.

2024-10-04 11:51:25 +0000 UTCI'm gonna be that guy and call it now: Carmine Falcone took advantage of her mental state and manipulated Sofia into hanging his illegitimate daughters for him.
