The Arab Spring hits THE NEWSROOM in its fifth episode ("Amen"), but once again Aaron Sorkin finds himself more concerned with Will McAvoy's workplace dramas, including a nefarious attempt by the ACN morning show to bring his downfall. PLUS: Was the '60s "the decade where everything changed"? At least one magazine cover believes so!

Can't wait to see what kind of racism Sorkin manages to pack into this one.

The name Leona Lansing is obviously a reference to Leona Helmsley.

The idea of the 60s is interesting in regards to younger boomers because I think that it holds a very similar position that the 90s does to younger millenials in that yes, they were technically alive during the 60s and they identify with the decade despite the fact that their formative years were actually in the 70s so they can't actually be nostalgic for it and are instead nostalgic for the broadest interpretation of it imaginable and try to as you said treat things humans did forever as uniquely of the 60s.

In regards to Sorkin’s condescension, I would be willing to bet that he has Mackenzie needing economics explained to her not only because he is a misogynist but also because he assumes the audience doesn’t understand economics either and needs a dumb character to have it explained to them in order for the audience to be taught by his superior mind

“You Wear it Well” is a perfect song imo. I read some of Rod’s memoir, there’s a very charming chapter about his youthful attempt to be a Dylanesque hobo troubadour, which ends with him setting a barn on fire and being dragged home by his parents. Its followed by a chapter about how he gets his hair to do that.

“I’ve got a grip of employees neglecting their wounds and working horrible hours, so how dare you call yourself a moral actor”

The drugstore magazine rack drove Luke so insane that he not only needed to podcast about it, he needed to Substack about it. Loving this for him.

I never get tired of hearing that Peter Fonda ad.

Oliver Elliott

Look, you two - your (somewhat) older listeners are not going to keep tolerating this Gen X slander. Sorkin is not only a Boomer, but is basically the Platonic ideal of a Boomer.

I love that when Dev Patel is sharing his near-death-experience origin story, Will McAvoy still has to alpha-dog him by finishing all his sentences.

Brad MacDonald

Oh my god I’d know Howard Hamlin’s voice anywhere

haha well he was born in 1961 so he's just shy of officially being a Gen xer but point taken! Also usual caveat of #NotAllBoomers #NotAllGenXers in any case. - L

When I was a young child, Rod Stewart would play on FM radio a LOT, and eventually this taught me the crucial lesson that we've all learned at one point or another: some music just sucks shit. Having said that, Rod's rendition of the Temptations' "I Know I'm Losing You," off of an early one of his albums, is actually dope as heck.

Thank you from the bottom of my porcine heart for producing a fun episode i could listen to in its entirety, secure in the knowledge that nothing of value will be lost by never watching this sorkin slop.

Hollywood, please get your London tube stations right. Liverpool Street, sure, but then being led to King’s Cross? This is like the Thor 2, ‘tube to Greenwich, debacle all over again.

Sam Schick

Thank you for the Haley Berry comment.
