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?...

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...

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 ...

It’s almost the end of the month and that means it’s time to squeeze another episode of GLoP just before the deadline. This time: Jonah is a rambling man, another deep dive on vintage TV shows, including indelible male and female characters, Rob pitches his I Dream of Jeannie reboot, some dark jokes, and yes, more on Bewitched from America’s foremost Bewitched pundits.
