Pharmacological Quality GLoP

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.

Jihad Me At Hello

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.

Great Content for Chik-fil-A

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.

That's Where The Trouble Begins

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.

It's Got The Ticker

Beat the summer heat with a healthy dollop of GLoP! This week: some discourse on Stripes (always start with a 40 year old movie), Inside Out II, the peculiar problem with Jeffrey Jones, why Star Trek: Discovery sucks, anecdotes about David Soul and Chuck Mangione, and some inside info on Jonah Goldberg v. Niall Ferguson.

Father Long

This month, a rare event: a Pod-less pod, with Rob and Jonah taking sole command of the GLoP bridge. But there's still plenty to talk about, including a big announcement for Rob, some thoughts about The Fall Guy, the boys have dinner in NYC, a little archeological rank punditry (yes, there is such a thing), get slightly scatological (again), and too off their heads rambling to list here.

Every Success Is A Mistake

We've got a wide ranging GLoP for you this month: everything from who John spent 9/11 with to movie bad guys and losers who end up winning, Alan Bloom, college campus unrest and the best movies about college, Norman Podhoretz watched a dirty movie once and wrote about it. morning routines of the rich and famous, and Jonah's beefs with Fallout and Shogun.

Schrödinger's Pants

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.

Love the snow, chill on the commercials

The latest episode had a commercial literally about every 4-5 minutes and sometimes even less time in between them. It made it so unpleasant to listen to. But she’ll great show.
Grew a little tiresome

I became tired of Goldberg and Podhorivitz laughing at their own jokes. Rob Long is still entertaining so I just listen to a weekly podcast he has. Ten minutes of his observational humor and stories. Short but very good.
Too many ads

Sep 26

BurCap

Both recorded ads (dropped in out of nowhere) AND 4 or 5 adverts read by the hosts? Give me a break, 20% of this podcast is advertisement.

Great episode but the constant inserted commercials are really annoying.
