This week, a very special edition of the show commonly known as GLoP (that's Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz, for you noobs): a live show recorded aboard the Allure of The Seas somewhere in the Caribbean. This week, the boys prognosticate on why Barack Obama is really Greg Brady aka, Johnny Bravo, Hillary's got 99 problems, why zombies are a cultural touchstone, and in case we wind up on one, each panelist chooses the five movies they'd take to a desert island.

Yep, you should list your top 5 in the comments below.

    Deserted Island Movies

    1. Aladdin (because the cartoon genie or the carpet will get me off the island)
    2. Mary Poppins (drawing cartoons to jump into to get me off the island)
    3. Finding Nemo (swimming lessons and turtle rides)
    4. Swiss Family Robinson (good survival ideas)
    5. South Pacific (fun with soldiers and coconuts)

    That was a lot of fun.

    I lost bladder control when John came up with the characterization of Bill and Hillary Clinton as Maurice and Endora from Bewitched. It's perfect. That said, now I want to know who their Gladys Kravitz is and who their Uncle Arthur is.

    Praise to Rob for picking Best Years of Our Lives. I will watch the entire movie solely for the scene of Homer and his girl in his bedroom with his girl helping him get ready for bed. It has to be the most tender love scene in American cinema.

    Other movies: Bridge over the River Kwai; Twelve Angry Men; Big Country; In the Heat of the Night; you're Americans, so pick your favorite John Wayne movie; The Dirty Dozen; Chariots of Fire; A Christmas Story.
