    The Harriet Dinner: Part II (Studio 60 Episode 14)

    It’s the Harriet Dinner Part II! The sequel nobody asked for. With good reason. Danny and Jordan escape the roof. Tom’s stuck at dinner with Kim, who’s too drunk to function. And the Harriet/Matt romance is quickly becoming more of a no-mance. Luckily, Lex and Brian are here, and we’re Sorkin’ it all up....

    The Harriet Dinner (Studio 60 Episode 13)

    The Harriet Dinner (Studio 60 Episode 13)

    The Harriet Dinner is the thirteenth episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It’s an episode. It’s not a great one. Danny and Jordan are locked on a roof. Cal is locked in a battle with animals. Harriet and Matt are locking horns. And it’s an absolute lock that this episode isn’t going to be our favorite. (Even though we love Cal. He’s great.)...

    Monday (Studio 60 Episode 12)

    When the going gets tough, the tough name their episodes after days of the week. In “Monday”, Jordan’s dealing with multiple difficult humans — among them Danny and a newly-hired mean girl who heads up reality programming. Jack goes to a concert to enlist the help of our pal Zhang. Darius and Sim start a fight. And Tom pursues Lucy, because this show sometimes has more drama than the reality shows it pans....

    The Christmas Show (Studio 60 Episode 11)

    No one has more Christmas spirit than Matt and - and he’s Jewish. Danny is joining Jordan at the obstetrician, and it only gets weirder. Harriet gets a movie… And also maybe love interest? Oh, and Simon and Tom are there, but not for any good reason. From that description you make think we didn’t like this episode, but you’d be surprised! Find out in this brand new episode of Sorkin’ In It....

    The Option Period (Studio 60 Episode 9)

    The Option Period (Studio 60 Episode 9)

    Ricky and Ron are closing a deal with Fox for “Peripheral Vision Man”; and ironically, Matt gives them some side-eye about it. Meanwhile, Harriet’s contemplating posing for pictures in her underwear, which we suppose beats posing for pictures in someone ELSE’s underwear. Jordan needs Danny to make some cuts, Danny warns Jordan her job is in danger, and boy, we’re hungry for a Snickers. No reason. Except that we’re Sorkin’ In It....

Entertaining Listen

Brian and Lex have a fun dynamic that makes this podcast super enjoyable. Personally, I have fun listening to the two of them banter back and forth even if I haven’t seen the show they are chatting about - they’re just that good! I highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking for an entertaining listen.

Excellent Entertainment Value!

Great analysis and conversation, though Brian and Lex sound very similar and it can be hard to tell who is who. Keep it up!

Rekindles my love for podcasts

I hadn’t seen many of Sorkin’s films before, and the witty banter between the hosts made it such a delight to learn more about Sorkin’s work. I plan to watch along each week, and I can already tell I’ll be so sad when it’s over.
