The Finnerty narrative coupled with the "I get it" scene at the end of Tony's peyote trip in the desert explain everything about this series and about the illusory nature of reality. The writers understand the meaning of near-death as well as entheogenic experiences, they are one and the same.

wow! very good impersonations of both Tony and Kevin Finnerty. I really liked the conversation with T saying " you r me if i lost in life!' interesting interpretation of Tony's mindset and outlook. I wish the Sopranos never ended, i have all the seasons and still watch them alot.
Great impersonation and dialogue. I just have one nitpick (being the analytical person I am), Finnerty needs to be looking to his left when speaking with Tony.
Excellent. Bravo! The line "figamentation of my imagination." Brilliant. The inflection as well. Spot on. I'm a recovering Sopranos addict. This is awesome. Keep up the great work.
man these videos are unreal,. huge soprano fan and been tryen to do tony impressions,. gave up,. i think iv watched all ur vids now, cant believe you even thought of doing finnerty, perfect,. been showing all my mates these video , Ireland loves ya dude, keep em coming
ya got Finnerty spot-on, the accent-but-still-not thing from when T got shot .... this is spectacular, and I watch at least 1 disc from the series daily. well done, well done.
Max, this is truly unbelievable. You've captured Finnerty's accent perfectly, which is more the vanilla non-italianised white american accent, which a lot of Italian actors tend to adopt in formal interviews etc. including Gandolfini and De Niro. You've managed to give closure to the millions of Sopranos fans, who've been craving it since that ever so famous abrupt ending from a cocky David Chase. Take over the show man! Your story lines, dialogue, character emotions and mannerisms are spot on.
@asdfad84 Putting it like that you make it sound as if Italians aren't white, while of course they are white Europeans. Other than that: great work, Max!
I just stumbled on these videos! Max you have a GREAT talent and you do Tony SO well! This vid reminds me of the "test dream" episode..was it modeled after that?
pronounced "cook"? new fans aren't going to be able to youtube you cuz when they hear your name spoken it'll read "cook" in their head. i'd at least add "cook" to your tags.
Holly christ !! you are more than good. Not only your voice but your body language is just him ! How could you be good at this !?? Right on man. you are truly a gifted person !
You must get this all the time... obviously, but I really think you are awesome at what you do. Its amazing how much effort, money, and no doubt time into channeling. Your not like most people that just belt out voices. I really, really wish the best for you bud.
watch when you say "your a figimentation of my imagination" jesus h. christ, you sound exactly like tony.....wtf, where did you come from? lol it's like watching the sopranos
I don't know how this didn't appear on my subscriptions. Randomly went to your channel Max and found this waiting for me. A nice surprise. As always, god like Max. Love it!
falling down the freakin stairs!!!! " not again" awesome Max! I turned purple laughing and I dont the think the keyboard's gonna be the same, got cherry pepsi all over it!
Thanks, buddy. Hey, look no further than "Max Koch channels Tony Soprano, Part II" and "Max Koch's Halloween Horror Show 2008". T and Chrissy feature prominently in both. - Max
Check out how his arms hang, the posture, his Soprano bodylanguage, it's ridiculously spot on. And the two voices, the subtly different inflections. 10/10
It's fun to see the evolution of the camerawork throughout your vidoes over time. This one is one of the best, and I know that it's only going to get better!
Excellent,5 stars,you have no idea how fucking good you have just made my night,its about 11:20 pm and im fuckin bored out of my mind and i see your video and i cant stop fuckin laughing. you need your own comedy show. Good luck to you, and i hope to see some new videos.
Your dialouge is extremly entertaining, it's really amazing and amusing!! You're a double threat, you can act and you can write scripts...well no you're a triple threat because your sense of humor is off the wall crazy!!
The dream sequences were always my favorite aspect of the show, so of course this was my favorite episode. Wasn't that just James' actual voice? Anyways, good video once again sir!
