Yep, it's another episode of GLoP, where three middle-aged men wander from topic to topic like your drunk uncles at Thanksgiving—except with more references to 1970s TV pilots and less pie. This week’s meandering odyssey covers the full spectrum: wiping Faye Dunaway’s… dignity, debating whether puppies can survive her PR aura, discovering that Superman might be unpopular overseas because America is now “meh,” lamenting the death of...

This podcast has never been above (or below) using a title to click-bait you into listening and this episode maintains that high standard. But rest assured, that’s not all that is discussed: the guys delve into F1, that New York Times Top 100 movies of the 21st Century list, the miracle that is Andor, what the Anchorman pitch meeting must have been like, Rob has a moral dilemma in Egypt, a very weird Broadway play, Jonah has a bad ...

Why is this GLoP different from all other GLoPs? Because on this GLoP, the principals discuss the future of the show and how to evolve it given their divergent interests. But don't worry: there's also plenty of laughs involving Gavin MacLeod, his TV wife Joyce Bulifant (look her up), an actual joke about the holocaust, and another one about the N-word. And even some actual pop culture with some thoughts about Andor, Sinners, and Br...

Among other things, Jonah really wants you to know he's not Jeff. After clearing that up, he and the rest of the GLoP crew delve into writing with AI, pitch a King Game of Thrones spinoff but in the Burger King extended universe, another look at The Taking of Pelham 123, inflection points and Suits, Wings, and various other pop culture cul-de-sacs.

Jonah's got a new pair of specs, the WaPo has a new editorial policy, White Lotus, Severance, Rob studies and watches Tik-Tok, Reacher, and lots of Yiddish. Yep, it's a new GLoP.

It's the first GLoP of 2025, so we super-sized it. We've got everything from Oscar nominations, to AI everywhere, to David Lynch to Bob Newhart to Nosfertau, some Broadway, a manhood measurer, and even a bit of Bob Dylan. Enjoy!

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 make...

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.

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?...

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.

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.

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.

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 Trum...

This month GLoP is literally all over the place and time: the guys discuss a time traveling Podhoretz, Back To School, the curious courtship of Alan Bloom and Susan Sontag, the Oscars -- including Poor Things (they're not fans) and Killers of The Flower Moon (ditto), some little known productions of the Odd Couple and more.

It's our last GLoP of the year, and we're in something of a melancholy and reflective mood this year. But that doesn't mean we can't make of get some laughs, starting with (trigger warning) a couple of antisemitic jokes, the New York Times, a tribute to A Charlie Brown Christmas, Galaxy Quest and of course, Switchblade Sisters. Also, John explains his behavior on Twitter, Rob defends not caring about anything, and Jonah meets GLoP ...

Let’s just get this out of the way right at the top: Yes, we missed a show last month. And many of you noticed, and correctly surmised why. So it was important that we did one this and not wait until the last few hours of November to put it out. That said, we can’t ignore what’s going on in the world right now, so this outing is er, long (no pun intended) on current events and short on the pop culture content. But there are plenty ...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
