    S7E15 - Tomorrow Never Dies

    It's been a long, slogging trail through this show and so we have The Last Episode for you here (spoiler it's bad). We also spend another 20 minutes or so musing poorly and waxing misunderstood philosophically about the impact of the show on the culture at large, on Aaron Sorkin himself, and on future projects. We will probably get back together to do an auxiliary ep on Studio 60, and then we might take another tack going forward that's a bit more relaxed and less... awful. Thank you for listening! It will all come back to you, in the ennnnnd.

    S7E14 - The Last Hurrah for Memory

    As we close the show down, senioritis sets in not only amongst the outgoing administration, but among your intrepid hosts who spent most of the recording session crosstalking and stepping on each other's bits!! It's a fine thing to try to address the absolutely Kafkaesque disaster of being an incredibly powerful woman navigating a male-dominated industry. It's a bad thing to do so by setting her up with multiple Male Saviors and having her pick one! By contrast we do get funny glimpses of Helen Santos being pigeonholed into traditionally-female-coded roles at the White House and, if not explicitly pushing back on them, being absolutely bewildered by their necessity. I am working 11 to 7 and I think Dave's still on nights so we included another Dolly banger this time around.

    S7E13 - Requiem for a Transition

    OK now that the show has wrapped up, congrats to Matt Santos on being the new prez, time to wait what the f**k there's still 5 goddamn episodes left?? IT'S ALL SO STUPID. RIP to Sinead O'Connor, this one hit me hard for whatever reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbre5Fs9m8I
