After an extended absence, the men of GLoP are back to answer and discuss the most important issues of the day: Is it time to break out the midterm victory champagne? The Spiderman reboot: a great or the greatest Spiderman reboot? Does Benghazi really matter? Does it matter as much of Game of Thrones? How about Mad Men? Also, Star Wars, a GloP deep dive on Frank Soto's Monogamy: What Is It Good For? post, the funniest thing on Twitter, and Rob describes a unique French hygiene custom. Yup, we go there.
We've got a bad feeling about this, EJHill.

A few Hollywood movies have been filmed around Mobile, Alabama recently. They would probably let Michael Bay blow up some real buildings if he agreed to a photo op or two.
"No means no... even in Westeros!" Brilliant. I'm sure there was nary a squeak from these people when a baby in the womb was stabbed at the Frey wedding.
"Talk about steamed milk!"
Mad Men is boring. But yes, Rob, someone should give nihilist advertisers swords and see what happens.

"I'm supposed to look to these animals as moral arbiters?" Excellent rant, Jonah.
Moral of the story: If you can't afford to adopt a bonobo, you can't afford a bonobo lifestyle.
If you can afford it, feel free to throw your scat around on CNN or in The New York Times.

Which Star Wars books, if any, are worth reading? You guys sound like you might know.
I don't know what y'all are worried about. Lawrence Kasdan, of The Empire Strikes Back, is on the script for the new film. And George Lucas has been relegated to consultant role. The way I see it, it all depends on how much leeway they have to ignore Lucas.
