50 - Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (feat. Alec Robbins)
Added 2022-08-31 20:58:09 +0000 UTCAlec Robbins (@alecrobbins) walks and talks the lads through the esteemed halls of the Paris Opera House of American Television™ that is Aaron Sorkin’s most notorious flop: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Topics include the racism of the mid-2000s, the surreality of the sketches, and the endlessly watchable nature of this truly calamitous foray into the writing process behind the world’s most controversial sketch: “Crazy Christians.”

2022-09-02 03:05:36 +0000 UTCI’m I shit on sorkin for being a bad person. He’s a lib. This comes from a socialist perspective, miss me with the bad faith accusations of conservatism.

2022-09-01 15:15:51 +0000 UTCyeah. no one talks crap on Sorkin for being a jerk or bad person. what leaves everyone dumbfounded is his TV shows all vibe like something created by a combination of sheltered naivety and Los Angeles shit-lib, that leaves everyone convinced the writers room had to be coked outa their minds.
