GLoP Culture

This week, partly due to the post-Oscars dearth of pop culture news, we’re deep into the news cycle as this show was recorded the morning that Rex Tillerson was shown the door. We cover that story, the continuing evolution of Hillary Clinton’s political skills, a little more on the economics of Wakanda, and yes, some good old fashioned Rank Punditry®. Source

This week, we’ve pulled together the most knowledgeable quorum on the culture landscape to give you the finest in pop culture hot takes. Our good friends Ross Douthat and Kyle Smith from NR’s Projections podcast (yes, you must subscribe) join John and Jonah (Rob Long is off making TV great again) to do a deep dive on Black Panther, the best Best Picture of all time, and so predictions for this...

This week, a retrospective of TV detectives inspired by a Tweet and begun on that other podcast. Then, the curious media coverage around Kim Jong Un’s sister at the Olympics, Black Panther is here to save the world, the guys tell you what they are currently watching, and for the kids in our audience, a discussion about long departed talk show host Merv Griffin.

This week on this very sedate and polite episode of GLoP, the boys pass the talking stick and chat about the shutdown, Stormy Daniels, a movie you haven’t seen in a while and are reluctant watch again, and yes, some LIVE coverage of the Oscar nominations! Source

First GLoP of 2018 and we’ve got President Winfrey, some dopey book that everyone is talking about, and yes the official GLoP Star Wars hot take extravaganza. We are your father. Note: This episode contains bad words. For a clean version please listen to the next episode in the GLoP Culture feed. Source

It’s the last GLoP of the year, so climb aboard! We do a little more chatter on Moore, but the bulk of this show is about Christmas movies: It’s A Wonderful Life, various obscure TV movies that John Podhoretz is obsessed with, Jonah’s list of top Christmas movies, and Rob’s impression of the worst Christmas movies. Enjoy! Source

It’s your post Thanksgiving, tryptophan induced podcast with your humble servants, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz. This week, The Kochs buy some Time, Goldberg goes to Broadway, sexual harassment has landed in Congress and now due process is very important, and the boys pick their favorite Pixar movie (but they don’t hug it).

It’s the post-roast GLoP as the GLoPenhiemers (that’s Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz, recap the now legendary evening, postulate on the future and effects of Roy Moore, tackle Twitter’s new 280 character limit, debate whether it’s OK to admire artists who do reprehensible acts. Also, some people are grateful for the dead. Others, not so much. Finally, who is the Greatest Tweeter... Source

It’s a Halloween edition of GLoP, aka America’s Most Beloved Podcast®. This week, yeah, we sort of have to deal with those pesky indictments, the continuing fallout from Harvey, Roy, Mark, Kevin, and the rest of the gang, but also, they guys pick their favorite scary movies, and a preview of next week’s Commentary Roast.

It’s relatively rare when one story becomes so omnipresent in the culture that we devote almost an entire episode to it. But that’s the case this week when the men of GLoP gingerly step in the Harvey Weinstein story. There’s no good, only bad and ugly in this one. Also, a bit about Jimmy Kimmel’s clown nose on, clown nose off behavior of late and his puzzling statement that he is indifferent to... Source
