Love the Sorkin episodes. But please bring back Frank D'Angelo. Sicilian Vampire!

Sweet Jacky

I enjoy the Newsroom episodes.

Really hope you guys touch on the Ritchie Torres Adam Friedland Show episode. Fascinating stuff. Made me feel not good tbh.

Worf Worfstofferson, and I'm da Venari Ral

speaking of Sorkin & the movie about I Love Lucy... do you guys remember when that was about to come out, and Sorkin said in at least a couple interviews that he never thought the show was funny? and that he was only interested in Lucy & Desi because of what they'd achieved in the entertainment industry? he probably thought it was incredibly novel, too, that they were a Cuban man and a red-headed caucasian woman, but I don't wanna put words in the man's mouth... I mean, there's no room, with all the other words that're in there!!

Maybe it's my own OCD around being a completist, but I believe, as others have mentioned, that you guys should finish what you started. Personally, I enjoy everything you put out. Ashley Naftule's suggestion of one a month seems reasonable to me.

There are no bad Michael & Us episodes, but the serialized Sorkin ones have a limit for me. Episodes about actually-good movies are the ones I run to; liberal kitsch is a close second.

I love and will listen to everything you guys do but the Newsroom stuff is a little past its prime - if you thinned the regularity out it would be good, or maybe doing two episodes of the newsroom for one Michael & Us would make it more appealing. I don’t think you should go past season 2 - It just seems to be a boring show and it’s only interesting to talk about that for so long. I would be interested in you guys continuing to take on full shows, however - whether Dinosaur Hour, the Newsroom, maybe Twin Peaks??? Thanks!

I'll throw my 2 cents in as enjoying all your Sorkin work. He's as fascinating an auteur as he is ripe for ridicule.

Please please finish the whole show, you are so close to the end. Take a break for sure but please do s3

I'm almost a year older than Sorkin and the idea of referencing 'I Love Lucy' and the Andrews Sisters is decidedly odd for people of our vintage. There's something very strange going on in his head as my contemporaries who were interested in 'old stuff' went back to the 1930s, not 1950s shows in constant syndication cycles and K-Tel record ads. (Jack Benny bridged the 1930s and syndication cycles. We hated the 1950s so much.) I would not care for an extended hiatus in the Newsroom series. I think in Studio 60 you combined a couple of episodes in one on occasion, and I think that's effective in condensing Sorkin into more digestible chunks. It really depends on what you have to say. Turning to a couple of the comments here, the M&Us episodes I have got the most out of have been the ones that deal with 'older stuff'. I'm so grateful for the Record of a Tenement Gentleman one, which was a film I'd never seen before and watched because of your efforts. What a wonderful film! I also enjoyed your discussion of To Be or Not to Be, a film I delayed watching for too long in my life. At times you've said things that suggest gaps in your film viewing that should be filled, and I would rather hear you talk about those than the low-hanging fruits of 'Politics, what a concept!' or Christian film-making where, as with the Newsroom, you might be thought to be rehearsing the same themes. For those, one is interested in what's different compared to all the rest. (Like the Neil McDonough one, where he was a more interesting character than some other leading men in the genre.)
