This morning we reunited the men of GLoP (that's JOnah Goldberg, John Podhoretz, and Rob Long for another jazz riff through pop culture and politics. This week: Minnesota accents, best NYC sitcoms, some Odd Couple punditry, and yes, some thoughts on why collecting items as a hobby is not a window into a person's soul. Also, one person on this podcast thinks Planet of The Apes is a bad movie. He's wrong.

We've got a wide ranging GLoP for you this month: everything from who John spent 9/11 with to movie bad guys and losers who end up winning, Alan Bloom, college campus unrest and the best movies about college, Norman Podhoretz watched a dirty movie once and wrote about it. morning routines of the rich and famous, and Jonah's beefs with Fallout and Shogun.

Every Success Is A Mistake

It's late in the month and that means it's time for another run through the zeitgeist with America's most crotchety culture critics. On this outing, they praise (well, mostly) Netflix's 3 Body Problem, DC apartments vs. NYC apartments, marvel at that time when Al Pacino worked at Commentary (and his unique appearance at this year's Oscars), the films of Christopher Nolan, the fall of Sam Bankman-Fried, and trigger warning: the Trump Bible and Ronna McDaniel's brief but very strange tenure  at NBC.

Schrödinger's Pants

We’ve got A.I.! (Is Jonah really worse than Pol Pot? — The answer may surprise you!) We’ve got Oscars! We’ve got best movie performances ever! And yes, we’ve got…coffee tables! Well, we have one particularly infamous coffee table. You’ll have to listen to find out what that’s all about.

The Coffee Table GLoP

This month GLoP is literally all over the place and time: the guys discuss a time traveling Podhoretz, Back To School, the curious courtship of Alan Bloom and Susan Sontag, the Oscars -- including Poor Things (they're not fans) and Killers of The Flower Moon (ditto), some little known productions of the Odd Couple and more.

It's Business

It's our last GLoP of the year, and we're in something of a melancholy and reflective mood this year. But that doesn't mean we can't make of get some laughs, starting with (trigger warning) a couple of antisemitic jokes, the New York Times, a tribute to A Charlie Brown Christmas, Galaxy Quest and of course, Switchblade Sisters. Also, John explains his behavior on Twitter, Rob defends not caring about anything, and Jonah meets GLoP fans nationwide.
