The Sopranos Explains Modern America

Why does a 20 year old TV show about New Jersey mobsters feel more relevant than ever? In this episode of Coffee With My Pets, we revisit The Sopranos and discuss why it may be one of the most insightful commentaries ever made about modern America. The corporate takeover of Main Street, therapy culture, and the feeling that "the best is over" -- many of the themes explored in The Sopranos seem even more relevant today than when the show first aired. Tony Soprano remains one of television's greatest characters, and compared to our modern leaders in DC and on Wall Street, he was a regular Mother Theresa. They may have destroyed the mob, but mob tactics have become mainstream. Coffee With My Pets is a weekly animated podcast exploring culture, technology, politics, psychology, media, cults, history, and the strange forces shaping modern life.
