Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Despite suffering from a tryptophan overdose, the men of GLoP perform their solemn duty and bring you another installment of America's most beloved podcast. This week: a treatise on assigned gender pronouns and the remakes of movies, anger online, remembering screenwriter William Goldman (he wrote The Princess Bride, hence the Photoshop) and magician/actor/raconteur Ricky Jay, and other edition of What Are You Watching? Got a suggestion? Leave it in the comments.

OMG. Rob’s riff about the Renaissance-style players (complete with music) may be the funniest thing I’ve heard all year. Genius.

And I loved the eulogizing of Ricky Jay and (especially) William Goldman, one of the wittiest and most inventive writers of the last 60 years. Novels, non-fiction, screenplays, you name it — all were tops. (And for a novel you will literally read in one sitting, try Marathon Man). RIP.

It will be days before I have time to listen to this episode, but I want to complement @EJHill on that artwork. I love Rob as Fezzik.

I've never seen Deadwood and probably never will, but still find it surprising that already 12 years have passed since its end.

Regarding JPod's discussion of the act of writing something down causing the anger to dissipate.
I used to get insomnia when something was really worrying/bugging me. I found that getting out of bed, pulling out a pad and writing a paragraph, or a page (or more) about it helped clear my mind and let me get to sleep.
