The Andrew Klavan Show

The hosts debate promiscuity, Gavin Newsom’s DEI crusade knows no shame, and the latest signals out of Washington leave one big question: are we actually done in Iran or just getting started?

Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan break down the stories dominating the headlines and try to make sense of what’s actually happening. Plus, special guest Chris Rufo joins the show.

Back in January, I made a video ranking the Oscar Best Picture winners from 1940-1979 and it was a blast. When movies are that good, it's hard not to have fun. Today, I'm making the sequel to that video where I rank the winners from 1980-2010. The question is: will the quality of the movies hold up to those from the golden age of Hollywood? Let's find out.

Here is Part 1: 1940 - 1980

Actor and writer Clifton Duncan joins me for a candid and impactful conversation about the personal cost he paid on Broadway for speaking out against the dominant left-wing narratives that he believes have come to shape the culture of the American theater industry. However, he also talks about his new one-man show about Thomas Sowell.

Today, I'll be ranking crime TV shows, which I'm excited to do because the crime genre is my personal favorite. However, I'm pretty confident that my favorite shows will not be on this list. But I could be wrong.
