Amazing to get a typo on the screen DURING the screenplay award nominees.

same

The two presidents that Hackman played could not be more different. Mooseport remains a true comfort watch. Absolute Power, is, uh, a little less easy to watch nowadays...

"Give me your failsons, your scamfluencers, your huddled crypto bros yearning to breathe free..."

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

funny how they all decided to stop calling themselves "job creators"

For lost planes I presume

Damn. Checks out.

There are lot of hot takes out there already about President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Russ, but we've got the hottest! And by that, I mean, we've got longest, most reasoned and in-depth discussion on Harrison Ford's latest fake president...

welp, so much for my bet that the pope would make a surprise appearance at the #SNL50 show tonight...

Of all the episodes we've so far produced, this was by the far the most complicated, so many different eras of SNL to watch, so many clips to aggregate...

Sassoon is involved with the Federalist Society and she clerked for Scalia.... and even SHE knows this is some corrupt banana republic BS. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

And First Gentleman Anthony Anderson!?!?

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

This one of the first episodes @therealbenoren.bsky.social and I did when we started the Fake Presidents podcast oh-so-many years ago...and it's still maybe one of our best eps? Seriously, how many other movie podcasts on AIR FORCE ONE managed to work in a thematically relevant David Blaine runner?

Friendly reminder before our CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD ep comes out that we already did cover a movie with Harrison Ford as the POTUS... (available to download wherever you get your podcasts)

been thinking about this guy a lot lately

Both THE GOOD WIFE and THE GOOD FIGHT gave me the impression that the DNC had Christine Baranski on speed dial precisely for this reason

I’m sorry but the fact that he’s clearly decided to make “acquiring real estate” his chief goal at this point is some real Lex Luthor shit. And not the smart Lex from the comics. The huckster one from the movies.

Real life confirmation hearings getting you down? Take a trip with us back to 2000’s THE CONTENDER, where we only talk about fake movie confirmation hearings!

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

“Go fish.”

You know you’re in for a good time in SoCal when the grocery store breaks out the “emergency ponchos”

Looking forward to SUITS: LA but getting worried that none of the promos show anyone with Rick Hoffman energy. He was the secret sauce that made the whole ensemble work IMO! Still optimistic though...

So his excuse is he’s “easily blackmailable”… and he thinks that’s a good thing for a top-ranking government official?

One place where covering the TV biz prepares you to appreciate today's tech-billionaire political dynamic: Dealing with a culture of people who feel it is a deep injustice if their financial success is not accompanied by commensurate personal and critical praise

I feel like this kind of story is going to be a thing now.

Not to get all "parenthood changes your whole perspective," but I do think becoming a dad has made me even less tolerant of Bluesky's doomer brigade. I'm completely uninterested in having depressive strangers lecture me about how my daughter's future is written and there's nothing we can do.

Many people don't realize that Dom Toretto wears the Evenstar, gifted to him by Frodo Baggins, whom he rescued from an international drug gang operating out of the Gray Havens.
