    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?

    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....

    Nevada Day, Part 2 (Studio 60 Episode 8)

    Nevada Day, Part 2 (Studio 60 Episode 8)

    Nevada Day Part 1 defied our expectations… which meant we got our hopes up for Nevada Day Part 2. Will the light mix of casual homophobia, causal racism, and heavy belief beggaring win us over this time around? Or will we find more joy in discussing the correct pronunciation of Nevada? At least Lex has Brian, and Brian has Lex. And you’ve got both of us. Join us: We’re Sorkin’ In It together....

    Nevada Day, Part 1 (Studio 60 Episode 7)

    Uh oh. It’s the Nevada episode. This is the one Lex was worried about before he and Brian started rewatching Studio 60. And it’s the first half of a two parter. But… maybe it wasn’t as bad as Lex remembered? It has John Goodman. It has time travel storytelling. How bad could it be? Only way to find out? Start 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.
