Sorkin' In It: The Films & Television of Aaron Sorkin

Rumors abound: Is the network bringing in a ratings consultant? Not exactly—Isaac is. Dana’s enforcing her terrible dating rule, Dan is reckoning with it, and the new guy at the show is… intimidating. Especially his mustache. There’s a lot to process. That’s why Brian and Lex are here.

Dana has an epiphany, but Casey isn’t a fan (Brian and Lex aren’t either). Meanwhile, Dan had breakfast with Hillary Clinton and tropes ensued. This may sound like an ominous episode title, but Lex and Brian found plenty to laugh about.

Lex and Brian don’t know if women have special powers, but maybe Aaron Sorkin does. Season two of Sports Night kicks off with a killer montage as Casey tries to work up the courage to ask Dana out. Jeremy and Natalie are fighting. Isaac’s back. There’s a lot to unpack - and a lot to love. You’re listening to Sorkin’ In It on the Incomparable podcast network, so stick around.

It’s the first time Sorkin named an episode of television “What Kind of Day Has It Been.” Luckily, that’s not the most memorable part of the episode, either. Brian and Lex agree this COULD have served as a SERIES finale if necessary, but luckily, it didn’t. Casey interacts with his son; Dana interacts with her camera. And we’re there, along with you, as we blissfully Sorkin’ in it all.

It’s the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Sports Night, and we learn that Casey’s “plan” isn’t as much of a plan… or is it? Meanwhile the fellas can’t seem to find their pants, Dana confronts Gordon, and Jeremy can’t stop talking about blood. That all may sound a bit weird, but don’t worry, Lex and Brian have your back. Let’s go Sorkin’ In It.

Casey’s still mad that someone tried to blow up the building. Brian and Lex are mad because — no, they didn’t: It was a bomb threat hoax. There’s a difference, Casey. Meanwhile, Jeremy chases down a cricket story. Or a wicket story. We don’t understand it either. And Rebecca returns — only good things can follow, right? RIGHT?!

Casey and Dan can’t get over a bomb threat. Jeremy breaks up with Natalie, but it doesn’t take. And Dana gets pushed around by the suits in Isaac’s absence. Casey and Dan may be rattled, but Lex and Brian aren’t worried. We are here for you, dear listener, in your time of need.

The team is covering the sweet 16 and Bobbi Bernstein returns. She’s not the only one, because Rebecca’s “ex,” Steve Sisco, makes a surprise visit. The team is eagerly anticipating Isaac’s return, but they’re going to have to wait a little bit longer.

Finally, Casey has some very particular thoughts regarding cake, and your pals Lex and Brian don’t agree.

Jeremy gets some devastating news that’s eerily similar to news Sam Seaborn will get in a couple years in another universe. Dan is excited to watch a baseball game with Rebecca. Is the whole episode a home run worth watching? Brian and Lex are happy to tell you.

Jeremy’s writing to his sister, again. Dana’s fearful about losing Gordon, again. And an underdog is doing great, again — but this time, the Sports Night crew is mad at the athlete instead of supportive. Weird. Luckily, Brian and Lex are there to make sense of it all.
