We're back after an unavoidable month-long hiatus to comment on all things pop and regular culture. This week, we cover The Odd Couple, Moscow Edition, hot murderers, another episode of GLoP Jokes, and Jonah's journey to a distant land.

Yep, it's time for another romp through pop culture and (trigger warning) politics as the men of GLoP riff on college campus antics (one of the panelists is in college at the moment), possible election unrest, Game of Thrones v. Monty Python and The Holy Grail, the problem with liking Hitler's generals, the greatest Faye Dunaway story you have ever heard, ABC's Dr. Odyssey, who would win a Harris against Trump IQ test, and Rob makes a very mainstream recommendation.

Welcome to the new GLoP -- the one where Rob is back in school. Yes, we talk a lot about that, took some questions from GLoP fans on X, ruminated on The Munsters, Hamilton, bad dreams, appropriate uses for the National Cathedral, Taxi Driver, Robert Downey Jr.'s career, the most overrated novel, and other assorted topics having nothing to do with each other. In other words, a typical GLoP.

We’ve got DNC Rank Punditry®, we've got star encounters, we've got bad boss stories, we've got Minnesota accents, we've got Rob's Burisma collection, we've got House of The Dragon, Silicon Valley, and for Pete's sake -- mind your own damn business.

An all-over-the-place GLoP for mid-summer: we've got some Rank Punditry® about changes past and possibly future at the top of ticket, some discourse about -yes-- cupholders in cars, a little Columbo, some thoughts about The Outsiders and it's various incarnations in different media, that time Jeff Goldblum played a NYC mugger, The Warriors, and of course, Rob remembers the late, great Bob Newhart. Also, any interest in a live GLoP? Let us know.

Beat the summer heat with a healthy dollop of GLoP! This week: some discourse on Stripes (always start with a 40 year old movie), Inside Out II, the peculiar problem with Jeffrey Jones, why Star Trek: Discovery sucks, anecdotes about David Soul and Chuck Mangione, and some inside info on Jonah Goldberg v. Niall Ferguson.

In this solo pod, Rob and Jonah discuss a big announcement, reminisce about 'The Fall Guy,' engage in archeological punditry, get slightly scatological, and ramble off their heads in NYC.

We've got a wide ranging GLoP for you this month: everything from who John spent 9/11 with to movie bad guys and losers who end up winning, Alan Bloom, college campus unrest and the best movies about college, Norman Podhoretz watched a dirty movie once and wrote about it. morning routines of the rich and famous, and Jonah's beefs with Fallout and Shogun.
