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.

The Coffee Table GLoP
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.
Customer Reviews
Love it
Great change of pace in this polarized world. Makes me laugh and want more
Love It!
I’ve become a Podhoretz fan as a follower of Commentary and was pleasantly surprised to find this show with him alongside Goldberg & Long. I love Goldberg’s laugh! These conversations are fun and interesting. Love it!
7th grade boys
I’m a woman in her 60s and every time the boys devolve into 7th grade boys I laugh and laugh… like a 7th grade boy. It’s great. I did have to look up corn hole when it made its debut a few years ago. The more ya learn…
