Michael Gandolfini Fully Embodies His Late Father, James Gandolfini, in Sopranos Prequel

-

We couldn't have imagined a better way to honor the late James Gandolfini and his iconic role of Tony Soprano than by having his son, Michael Gandolfini, portray a younger version in the upcoming Sopranos prequel film. Set around the 1967 Newark riots, The Many Saints of Newark sees how Tony Soprano eventually became the crime boss we know, love, and fear. As a touching nod to the big boss himself, the trailer begins with a narration by James, saying, "When I was a kid, guys like me were brought up to follow codes." Exactly what codes he's referring to are still to be seen.

From the looks of the trailer, it'll be interesting to see how the Soprano family functioned before Tony was the de facto leader. The ensemble cast features younger versions of familiar original series characters, with Alessandro Nivola as Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti, Jon Bernthal as Giovanni "Johnny Boy" Soprano, Corey Stoll as Junior Soprano, Billy Magnussen as Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri, John Magaro as Silvio Dante, and Vera Farmiga as Tony's mother, Livia Soprano. Joining them in undisclosed roles are Michela de Rossi, Leslie Odom Jr., and Ray Liotta. The Many Saints of Newark premieres in theaters and on HBO Max on Oct. 1.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
