Just vibing after I listened to the last ep. That was a fun ride. Holy shit it's been three years.

Mostly good weekly slop and that was pretty good for the pipeline. Thanks Dave and Josh for helping me stay sane.

    I love how somewhere down the line they just stopped bothering and basically didn't talk about the show except to dunk on it, instead focusing on current events. In retrospect, it means that it won't be great to listen to if you come back to it after years, but whatever, the COVID rants helped me stay sane when we're being gaslit by all levels of government.

    They both have some brainworms, Josh more than Dave from what I can tell, but it was a fun ride.

        Dave has at least called for re-education camps, so he gets a few bonus points in my book.

      While Sorkin was still with the show, they'd periodically talk about how they'd been convinced he was a good screenwriter up until they started doing this. Lots of nuts-and-bolts of cinematography in the discourse. I really enjoyed that, just because hearing from two writers how to do good writing was fun.

      Then Sorkin left, and there was just less and less to talk about. You were just kinda left with whatever crap Lawrence O'Donnell slathered on the screen. The second-to-last episode really was just "Man, epic senioritis. They're just phoning it all in. Oh well, anyways..."
