It's Studio 60 vs the unions in Episode 17 ("The Disaster Show") of Aaron Sorkin's STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. We're pleased to welcome Will Menaker (of Chapo Trap House and Movie Mindset fame) to help us make sense of Sorkin's perspective on organized labor. PLUS: So have you heard about Joe Biden?

You've heard of Chapo Trap House, but here's there website - https://www.chapotraphouse.com/

Let's goooo Edit: Was this recorded today? It seems very topical.

Dan Port

2 episodes on Studio 60 this week! Is it Independence Day or Christmas?

Chris Sherman

Xmas in July, fellas. God bless the USA.

John Tobias

Been hoping for this to happen!

I love how well Will gels with the boys. Hope to see him on here again soon

I think the earliest time that marks the beginning of liberals believing art can change hearts and minds would probably be the 1950s. Plenty of movies containing stuff that was cued in to the social issues of the time especially w/r/t civil rights. Off the top of my head there’s Bad Day at Black Rock, or the Defiant Ones, or Imitation of Life. Giant ends with Rock Hudson getting into a fight with an anti-Mexican diner owner. A Face in the Crowd was concerned with how the media can produce powerful populist figures. And of course, there’s 12 Angry Men, a key text in the modern liberal canon, which was recently adapted to Broadway by Aaron Sorkin. With TV, I think you can easily point to the work of Norman Lear.

Love this. Would've loved to see Hesse on too!

You guys have to cover The Newsroom next. Every. Single. Episode. Will McAvoy and Us.

For me nothing beats the episode of Star Trek where the space hippies took over the Enterprise. Teaching that square capt. Kirk about peace and love

Hmmm I've never heard of this "chapo trap house" but this Will guy seems ok, hopefully this'll give his podcast the patented Michael and Us bump

On the subject of Sorkin attributing the same level of gravitas to every subject matter he tackles (White House = SNL, etc.), I remember on one of Chapo's Sorkin marathons the possibility of him listening to Pod Save America and doing a series based on that. Keeping my fingers crossed for that one!

Just as I've begun to unironically enjoy "Al Gore Lives On My Street" as an uplifting processing of injustice, I wonder if "Modern Network TV Show" will too carry unabashed meaning in my heart.

“How do you cope with the receding horizons of progressive possibility?” “I dunno, I started a movie podcast.” The Chapo x M&U crossover event of the summer.

You beat me to it! Ha ha! I just finished chapo and was like wow what a crossover!

yessssss the hacker storyline that finishes out the first season alone is worth the price of admission. "y r u agro on it" indeed

Another great episode! I strongly suspect that Mariah Carey and Beyonce were literally the only Black female celebrities Sorkin could think about. I also suspect that his depiction of Simon’s promiscuity is meant to denote something quite different from Matt’s promiscuity.

Jimmy McMillan

I think comedy gets undersold as a tool for propaganda and political power nowadays. It's definitely not the magic bullet to shame our government into acting better like some excited media in the past may have claimed, but it's still a valuable tool. Saying comedy is going to revolutionise politics is like saying perfecting the pump-fake will make you the world's greatest basketball player

Franciszek Fikus

I’ve just spent my last $6 but I just couldn’t deprive myself of the Sorkin’s eps

John Van Atta

Lots of podcasts, when a host from a bigger podcast comes on they dispense expert advice. You guys got a dialogue, you could hear WM paying increasing attention during WS's christianity -> union metaphor
