GLoP Culture with Goldberg, Long, and Podhoretz

This week, John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, and Rob Long take on Weiner (so to speak), Rob defends his racy TBS show, Jonah's plan keep the internet safe for our kids, RIP Helen Thomas, and who should play Hillary Clinton.

Spitzer, are movies too expensive, Egypt, why TV is great, and.....SHARKNADO!

The wanderings of Edward Snowden, World War Z, immigration, an unusual Alaskan summer, the Jewish Superman, and Mad Men, the hit show that nobody watches.

We have all the answers this week: the pronunciation of the letter "w", the best analogy for the Justice Department scandal, the best that can happen in the IRS scandal, who really is America's dog, whether or not Obama is Liberace and Behind The Candelabra is a great or an unwatchable movie. Also, BREAKING: the war on terror is over, Will Smith is a physicist (just ask him), the case for drones, Jonah reviews Star Trek: Into Darkness, Arrested Development the coming TV disruption, and much more.

First, a momentous occasion in the history of the podcast -- Goldberg, Long, and Podhoretz finally agree on a name: GLoP Culture (as in pop culture). Then, a fascinating discussion on Sanford's win, John digests Satriycon., the 50 Shades of Grey of the 1st Century. Also, Cleveland, the problem with summer movies, and John books an exciting gig for an important upcoming holiday.

The Boston bombers and Ricin mailer, the press gets it wrong, terrorism in the age of Twitter, RINOs may be good for the party, Big Bangs and great TV, and the bubble is not the audience.

Pat Morita's stand-up, Mark Sanford's campaign, Game of Thrones' nudity, Steve Byrne's jaw, ex-Obama staffer's Twitter feeds, and Liberace's rave's.

CPAC, the end of "Time", lavish expense accounts, the new Pope.

RIP Ed Koch, chain stores on the Upper West Side, the end of book stores, the changing business model of show biz, conservatives on cable, billioniares who by studios, conservative movies, and Oscar picks!

Funiculars, Al Gore sells to Al-Jazeera, where are Obama's women cabinet officers, Chuck Hagel, Downton Abbey, the Oscars, Game of Thrones, the Oscars and Lincoln, and trillion dollar coins.

This week on the show informally known as GLoP, a look at the horrific shootings in Connecticut with a discussion about dealing with the mentally ill, and what to change about the nation's gun laws. Then, we segue a look at Hanukah versus Christmas, depictions of the holidays in television and the movies, (including The Brady Bunch and a Charlie Brown Christmas). See you next year, everybody!

Some lessons from the recent election, fun with blood letting, Dick Morris, where's the poop, and Jeff Zucker's rise.
