In the second episode of THE NEWSROOM, MacKenzie lays out her theory of what a quality news broadcast should look like, and Will McAvoy presides over one of the worst broadcasts of his career. It's one of the Sorkinest Sorkin shows we've ever seen - it's "News Night 2.0"

Rosie, folks. Some people called her low energy Rosie, I like that, I call her low energy Rosie

Sloan’s professors might be more knowledgeable, but no one else has got the gams to do film review podcasting

Kenny Hedges

My Rosie's a Shitzu-Pomeranian with a similar backstory. She's very sweet.

I'm absolutely loving these new Sorkin eps. Bless you two 🙏

I think it's interesting that Sorkin seems to be such a believer in an adversarial approach to discovering the truth, so he writes all these shows where characters just spout "the best arguments" at each other, but then he really can't help himself and always has to put in a surrogate for himself that just owns everyone with facts and logic. Like the shows are kind of impossible objects because he always has to put his finger on the scale

Jeremy Hawkins

Hearing his dialogue is like weird nails on a chalkboard. I swear to god, it would be less weird if his characters were always commenting on women's feet as opposed to their long gams. I only saw my first Howard Hawks movie after Sorkin and us season one and I think he's been ruined for me.

Oliver Crane

Not having actually watched the show I would guess that he’s a big Joe Bonamassa fan

James Washburn

Is the aversion to multiple Sloans all that’s keeping us from a Michael & Us retrospective of Nova Scotia’s favorite musical sons?

Orn Pauldorf

thousand percent in favor of referring to the main character as "Jeff Newsroom" from here on out, as Luke did around the 40min mark

Chris Sherman

Has any character ever screamed "Clapton guy" more than Will McAvoy?

A. Savagé

Baffling how bad the intro song is for this show

aaron

has anyone made a Michael and Us bingo card yet? if not 'structuring absence' has to be on there. obviously 'end of history' is the free square

Kramer O'Neill

If you're worried about having trouble listening to Radiohead because of *this*, I have some terrible news I hesitate to share...

There go my hopes for TP season 4 ⛰️⛰️

Completely unrelated but having just returned from watching please watch Kneecap (2024)

Isn't the viral Miss Carolina video from 2007 the inspiration for this episode? It was a famously incoherent word salad that was endlessly compared and contrasted with Palin in 2008.

I think the strong urge to call Sorkin characters by the actor’s names is a reflection of how he doesn’t really have “characters,”. It’s all just his own voice and hack stereotypes.

Oliver Elliott

The best part about the Schumer stuff and similar stuff like it from Democrats is that it’s just an admission that they suck at politics. They don’t understand the good things you’re doing? You’re a politician! That’s your job, motherfucker!

Luke

Any chance of covering the CBC The Newsroom, that's a sometimes funny show.
