GLoP Culture

Why is this GLoP different from all other GLoPs? Because on this GLoP, the principals discuss the future of the show and how to evolve it given their divergent interests. But don't worry: there's also plenty of laughs involving Gavin MacLeod, his TV wife Joyce Bulifant (look her up), an actual joke about the holocaust, and another one about the N-word. And even some actual pop culture with some thoughts about Andor, Sinners, and BritBoxTV.

This month on GLoP: Rob has an important announcement to make, some unfortunate serial killer names, The Last of Us, Andor, Wolf Hall, and various other cultural non-sequiturs.

Among other things, Jonah really wants you to know he's not Jeff. After clearing that up, he and the rest of the GLoP crew delve into writing with AI, pitch a King Game of Thrones spinoff but in the Burger King extended universe, another look at The Taking of Pelham 123, inflection points and Suits, Wings, and various other pop culture cul-de-sacs.

Jonah's got a new pair of specs, the WaPo has a new editorial policy, White Lotus, Severance, Rob studies and watches Tik-Tok, Reacher, and lots of Yiddish. Yep, it's a new GLoP.

It's the first GLoP of 2025, so we super-sized it. We've got everything from Oscar nominations, to AI everywhere, to David Lynch to Bob Newhart to Nosfertau, some Broadway, a manhood measurer, and even a bit of Bob Dylan. Enjoy!

We're back after an unavoidable month-long hiatus to comment on all things pop and regular culture. This week, we cover The Odd Couple, Moscow Edition, hot murderers, another episode of GLoP Jokes, and Jonah's journey to a distant land.

Yep, it's time for another romp through pop culture and (trigger warning) politics as the men of GLoP riff on college campus antics (one of the panelists is in college at the moment), possible election unrest, Game of Thrones v. Monty Python and The Holy Grail, the problem with liking Hitler's generals, the greatest Faye Dunaway story you have ever heard, ABC's Dr. Odyssey, who would win a Harris against Trump IQ test, and Rob makes a very mainstream recommendation.

Welcome to the new GLoP -- the one where Rob is back in school. Yes, we talk a lot about that, took some questions from GLoP fans on X, ruminated on The Munsters, Hamilton, bad dreams, appropriate uses for the National Cathedral, Taxi Driver, Robert Downey Jr.'s career, the most overrated novel, and other assorted topics having nothing to do with each other. In other words, a typical GLoP.

We’ve got DNC Rank Punditry®, we've got star encounters, we've got bad boss stories, we've got Minnesota accents, we've got Rob's Burisma collection, we've got House of The Dragon, Silicon Valley, and for Pete's sake -- mind your own damn business.

An all-over-the-place GLoP for mid-summer: we've got some Rank Punditry® about changes past and possibly future at the top of ticket, some discourse about -yes-- cupholders in cars, a little Columbo, some thoughts about The Outsiders and it's various incarnations in different media, that time Jeff Goldblum played a NYC mugger, The Warriors, and of course, Rob remembers the late, great Bob Newhart. Also, any interest in a live GLoP? Let us know.
