This week, we’re reading a satirical dark comedy about a harmfully moderate news station: The News Cycle by Ben Howard. A news anchor is doing her first broadcast and is baffled by the station’s decisions to give platforms to awful people in an effort to “see both sides of every story.” Ben discusses the nature of satire, the state of Arkansas, and the ethics of peeing in a pool.
Detours: Hamilton (Disney+); Westworld (HBO MAX)

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana (Season 2)

This week, we’re reading Irishman by Jack Ryan Yuran. Thankfully, this one is 10 minutes, not 3 and a half hours. Irishman dives into the complex tension between Irish Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. A young man named Sean loses both his parents in the Bloody Sunday Massacre and joins the IRA only to find that it may be more than his morality can handle. Jack talks about his airplane flying strategy, his Irish heritage, and his favorite football team! (GO STEELERS!)
Detours: The Lovebirds (Netflix), Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (Disney+)
Honorable Mention: Andrew Scott (just as a person)

This week, we’re reading “What’s in the Box?” a short screenplay by Benjamin Posselt! This script is about two exes rekindling their friendship after six years when one of them shows up unannounced in the other’s apartment, and it is NOT a reference to Se7en. This script was originally written in German and translated to English so we could read it on the show! Benjamin talks about his writing process, a super cool not-a-heist script he wrote when he was 12, and whether McDonald’s or Burger King has the best fries.
Detours: Born a Crime (Trevor Noah), Ruined (Lynn Nottage), The Twilight Saga (Amazon Prime)
