With heat waves, and the inevitable extinction of humanity practically around the corner, why not talk about what's happening in the cool, comfortable theaters that we're told are also doomed? To help us keep things light and pleasant, we've recruited film critic Sonny Bunch to chat about the elegiac Top Gun: Maverick, the rockin' biopic Elvis, and the not-so-buzzy Lightyear. The trio also get into the President's positive Covid test – which isn't a big deal all of a sudden. They discuss the calls for "executive beast mode," and ponder one of the biggest existential questions of all: what's up with a moose in the wild?

As promised, here's the GLoP Game of Thrones season 7 recap podcast with special guests New York Times columnist (and National Review movie critic) Ross Douthat and The Washington Free Beacon's Sonny Bunch sitting in for the Game-less Rob Long. Need less to say, this show contains wall-to-Northern Wall spoilers as well as arcana and details that only people who actually live in Westeros or die hard Thrones fans will appreciate. That said, if you watch the show and want to hear some smart guys geek out about it, then this podcast is for you. Winter is here.

This week, Sonny Bunch, the venerable co-host of The Weekly Sub-Standard podcast sits in for the TV making Rob Long (he'll be back for the next show, promise!). The boy cover the AHCA debacle, why the Richard Dreyfuss character in Close Encounters of The Third Kind is a terrible person, ruminate on the many different cuts of Blade Runner that vastly the movie's legacy, debate the greatness or lack thereof of Stephen King, and Jonah pushes Sonny to defend an ongoing theory in The Weekly Substandard's podcast that the Empire in the Star Wars movies are actually the GOOD guys. Huh?
