Dan isn’t one of the 100 Most Influential People in Sports, but Casey is. You can bet that goes over like a fart in church. Speaking of church - Dana visits one to get out of the rain… and likes it (the church, not the rain… or the fart). The rain al... more
Jeremy meets an intriguing woman…primarily because he wasn’t invited to the office game of Celebrities. Breakups are hard. What’s not hard is breaking DOWN… another Sports Night episode.

Casey can’t see. It’s funny, even if it beggars belief. Sam’s leaving the show. That’s sad, even if it was inevitable. And there’s a break up on the show, but don’t worry, it’s not Brian and Lex. By some counts, this is our 100th show, and we’re stil... more
Dan wants to see Tom Waits, which is hard to explain. (Wait a sec. Lex, did you write this? I happen to like Tom Waits. Anyway…) Dana inherits a gun, which is also strange (OK, we both agree here). William H. Macy’s Sam gets a big storyline and a dra... more

- Fun and informative
Enjoyable tour through the Sorkin canon. Hope they continue and go through the West Wing too.

United States4 months ago - 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.

Australia5 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)
Apple Podcasts5VortechUnited States9 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.
