- Never seen Sorkin, doesn’t matter.
I have never watched anything by Sorkin but love this show. I enjoy listening to people geek out about things they are interested in, and the dynamic between Lex and Brian really works.

Australia2 months ago - See the WHOLE board.
Podcasts have already focused on the West Wing, but there is a viewpoint of the person who really likes Sorkin that is uncovered, until now. The motifs — or, if you are feeling nasty, the recycled plot elements — and the evolution of a writer really only come out with a broader perspective. Brian and Lex are doing the work to explore that, and I recommend you listen along (or maybe start with the back catalog if you feel about Sports Night as I do)

United States6 months ago - Great show, great presenter team
Fantastic podcast not just for the content but the presenters (Brian and Lex) have the best rapport and bounce off each other in such a chill way. The format is great (single episode recaps) so you don’t have to know lots of history of the shows or movies. Currently watching along with Sports Night episodes and each episode I realise I’ve missed so much Lex and Brian pick up in their recaps. Well worth a listen if you’re a fan of Sorkin’s work.

Washing dishes, weeding garden beds, folding towels. All go down smoother with Alex and Brian talking through a rewatch of an old favourite (Sports Night). Thanks guys.
Apple Podcasts5Article 13United States7 months ago - Insightful, honest critiques from 2 fans
I stumbled across this show recently and listened to all of their episodes on The Newsroom in a couple of days before moving onto Studio 60. I plan on listening to the movie ones next before catching up on Sports Night.
I don’t always agree with what Brian and Lex say, but I really enjoy their viewpoints and they provide reasonable critiques in a pithy and amusing manner. You can tell they really love Sorkin’s writing and it’s a fantastic show to listen to from 2 erudite fans.
