It’s the last GLoP of the summer, but we’re not relaxing. The GLoP-sters (one of whom is working injured with a summer cold), cover which sections of the newspapers actually make money, a review of the current Broadway production of Oklahoma!, some Rank Punditry® on the Democratic race, John can’t hear us (a feature, not a bug?) and Dave Chapelle conquers the politics of comedy.

Jonah Goldberg, Ricochet's Rob Long, and Commentary's John Podhoretz discuss culture and politics.

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.

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.

The Snoopy In The Vestibule

Let’s just get this out of the way right at the top: Yes, we missed a show last month. And many of you noticed, and correctly surmised why. So it was important that we did one this and not wait until the last few hours of November to put it out. That said, we can’t ignore what’s going on in the world right now, so this outing is er, long (no pun intended) on current events and short on the pop culture content. But there are plenty of laughs nonetheless, and (we hope) some insights and observations on current events. Here’s hoping we can get back to our normal course of juvenile double entendre programming next month.
