We recap the first week-or-so of Trump Era 2.0, and then, because we can all use a larf right now, discuss LOOKWELL (1991), the legendary unsold sitcom pilot starring Adam West and written by Conan O'Brian and Robert Smigel.

I keep waiting to see the new episode about Juror 2

I definitely appreciate Will's frustration with the limits of discourse being that the Republicans are worse than the Democrats. But I will say, literally going out in the streets as a member of a political party and asking people "what do you think it will take to win medicare for all?" "How do we stop Trump?" "Do you think we need to break with the two party system?" Ect, makes you appreciate how even if you don't feel like you're in a bubble online, you don't get the whole picture, and more importantly, you don't see what people will actually stand up for. Luke has spoken to the weird and contradictory consciousness he encountered canvassing for the NDP. When I was going out talking about Cornel West when he announced, when I talked about Jill Stein this year, I maybe talked to one person who was willing to engage on a lesser evil argument at all, but it was clear that the thought of not voting blue was upsetting fir them to even think about. Though this is a marked difference from when I started three years ago. The people who would make those arguments seem to be escaping from politics and towards a vague idea of community building.

Todd Field is also great as love interest/ second banana in Victor Nuñez's RUBY IN PARADISE. And the documentary BATTERED BASTARDS OF BASEBALL

“And how come Batman doesn’t dance anymore?”

This episode brought to mind the Julian Barratt comedy Mindhorn, where a has-been TV star reprises his career-defining role in order to help the police catch a killer. That role being, of course, a rogue MI5 operative whose eye has been replaced by a super-advanced optical lie detector, which means he can literally see the truth.

One direction could have been that’s it’s not always the cop thing. We could learn about other increasingly stupid shows he’s been in, ala Troy McClure, and he’s trying to use that experience to do something in the real world. Western, low budget 60s sci-fi, etc etc.

Maybe like Shatner he had five minutes of being a serious actor. So he’s also had absurdly unlikely roles like Vladimir in Waiting for Godot.

I have a terrible desire to hear you guys discuss season 3 of Enterprise now 🖖

Ah dont you love when Luke Savage and Will Sloan, two upper middle class entrepreneurs, tell people whose SNAP benefits and social security will be taken away from them actually deserve it because the dems are bad? Isn't this literally the exact same "fuck around and find out" logic that they, in this very episode, admonish the dems for using surrounding Gaza?

Haha been ages since I've seen it. This is the one where they go into the expanse or whatever, right? - L

I decided to check out Lookwell on your recommendation and boy, it did not disappoint. It reminds me of BoJack Horseman setup-wise but with the early 90s Simpsons sensibility you pointed out. Adam West is a master.
