Not All Heroes Wear Capes

April 25, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on GLoP, some thoughts on Avengers: End Game and how Marvel has changed the movie business, what’s the best Marvel movie, and hey, why exactly did Rudolph Nuryev defect from the Soviet Union? 🤔 Also, the view from high atop NYC’s Garment Center, who will survive the Battle of Winterfell (including a stunning admission from Rob Long), and another edition of What Are You Reading?

Music from this week’s show: Superman by Goldfinger

Nap Time In Winterfell

April 9, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on the world famous GLoP podcast: A meditation on “touchy” Joe Biden, TV shows of the 70’s and 80’s (and a deep dive into the Maude theme song), and –against the strenuous objections of Rob Long– the inevitable Game of Thrones preview segment, and another edition of What Are You Watching?

P.S. Yes, we know the featured image is recycled. EJ was working (his real job) today.

Man The Barricades

March 29, 2019

Hosted by Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on the world famous (many people are saying that) GLoP Culture podcast, it’s just two guys (John Podhoretz is on vacation) talking about the pluses and minuses of travel, some thoughts on the media and the way they’ve covered the Jussie Smollett case and the Mueller Report, a review of Les Mis, and…giggling. Lots of giggling.

We’re On A Boat

March 6, 2019

Hosted by Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week, a special live GLoP recorded last December, live from the National Review cruise, sans Podhoretz. Jonah and Rob riff on a variety of topics (we won’t spoil them here) and take questions from a tipsy (and we don’t mean in the seasick sense) audience. Ahoy!

GLoP Culture #113

Welcome to The Phalanx

February 28, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on GLoP, Jonah has a big announcement, some thoughts on the Cohen hearing and the mysterious Matthew Calamari, that Green Book Oscar controversy, and what is your mob name? Take the GLoP test and let us know in the comments.

Dirty Laundry

February 12, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on GLoP, we delve into the news cycle for some Rank Punditry® on the goings on in Virginia, the Green New Deal, and the curious case of Jeff Bezos. Also, are the Oscars over? Not until Rob wins one.

GLoP Culture #111

Coffee, Clowns, Social Media, and Apes

January 28, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on GLoP, we ramble though a grand tour of disparate topics: Charlton Heston (his turns in both Earthquake and Planet of The Apes), clown school, the Democrat’s double shot caffeinated response to Starbuck’s Howard Shultz pondering a Presidential run, the perils of being too forthcoming on social media and some pondering about the effect of social media on society at large, and a whole lot of other ephemera and giggles. In other words, have a hot, steaming cup of GLoP on us.

Music from this week’s show: Black Coffee in Bed by Squeeze

Tastes Like Chicken

January 16, 2019

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

The men of GLoP reconvene to discuss DC during the shutdown (more trash, less traffic), whether or not The Sopranos is indeed the bellwether Peak TV show (or is it NYPD Blue?), the curious career of Rob Reiner, and the possibility of a woke version of West Side Story.

With Three You Get Eggnog

December 19, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

It’s last GLoP of 2018 and we go out with a….shot of eggnog. Actually, we go out with some concise commentary (or rank punditry®, whichever your prefer) on the cuisine and beverages of the holiday, what the heck is going on at CBS, a fond farewell to Penny Marshall, a rave review for Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse, and a pick for the 2018 time capsule. Thanks for all the Goldberg giggles in ’18 and we’ll see (hear?) you next year.

Toothpaste In Your Hair

November 26, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

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.

Night of The Nihilists

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

The men of GLoP gather to Rank Punditry® on last night’s mid-terms, dissect JPod’s self-imposed Twitter break, lament about people trying to get them work for free, and giggle a lot (really).

The Thighs Have It

October 26, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

The GLoP-sters (that’s Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz) ruminate on the mad bomber, John’s daughter’s racy Bat Mitzvah Torah portion, the surprising second life success of Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing, caravans, and Halloween (the movie, not the holiday).

GLoP Culture #105

We Like Beer

October 3, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

You may have heard that there is a Supreme Court in the midst of getting confirmed for the bench. The men of GLoP (that’s Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz) have a few thoughts about the dignified and measured process the country is engaged in. Tune in, won’t you?

Also, attention Southern California GLoP listeners: We have 2 pairs of tickets to give away to see Jonah Goldberg speak on Sunday October 7th at 7:30PM Campell Hall on the campus of UC Santa Barbara. Winners will get to meet him and get your copy of Suicide of The West signed (sorry, you have to supply your own copy of the book). The first people to PM @BlueYeti get them. See you there!

That’s A Wrap On Reynolds

September 13, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week, the men of GLoP convene to discuss the passing of GLoP Hall of Fame members Burt Reynolds, Les Moonves #MeToo moment, Rob Long’s so-crazy-it-just-might-work pitch for a TV detective show, Corey Booker’s kooky (and totally fake) “Spartacus!” moment, and one GLoP host visits the epicenter of the counter-culture and reports back. Care to guess which one?

GLoP Culture #103

The Goldberg Long GLoP/Remnant Crossover Show

August 30, 2018

Hosted by Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week, Jonah Goldberg and Rob Long cross the streams between their co-hosted GLoP podcast (John Podhoretz is off this week) and The Remnant. They talk about Rob’s career in Hollywood, WhatAbout-ism, cross country traveling, and sure, a bit of monkeying around.

GLoP Culture #102

It’s A Sandwich

August 8, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week, The GLoP-extended universe tackles all the important issues of the day: First, Jonah responds to Stephen Colbert’s lame and inaccurate attempt at humor. Then, Sarah Jeong keeps her job at the New York Times, Alex Jones is banished from (most) social media, a deep dive into Paul Manafort’s eclectic wardrobe, and we wrap up with a special GLoP investigation: is a hot dog a sandwich? Jonah says yes, others say no. Also, the idea of a museum dedicated to pizza is, er, cheesy, but where should it be located? And is that gooey stuff they sell in Chicago really even pizza? Listen and leave us your thoughts in the comments (keep it Kosher, please).

GLoP Culture #101

In Defense of “Animal House”

July 31, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on GLoP, it’s the 40th anniversary of the release of Animal House, one of the most important movies in the GLoP Character Universe (The GLoPCU, if you will). But lately, this great American movie is under attack for well, not being “woke” enough, like some sort of cinematic Confederate statue. But don’t worry, the Men of GLoP® are here to save the day and defend the movie from a societal fatal kiln explosion . Also, is collusion a crime? And on the occasion of Mission Impossible: Fallout‘s giant opening, we list our favorite Tim Cruise movies. Or try to.

GLoP Culture #100

Harry Potter and The Curse of GLoP

July 17, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week, the men of GLoP tackle (well, in a metaphorical sense) Russia, the Harry Potter books and movies, Rob Long’s haunted house, Sasha Baron Cohen, and the best fast food in America.

GLoP Culture #99

The Retiring Types

June 28, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

Just as the news has been dominated by the retirement of Mr. Justice Anthony Kennedy, so it dominates the discussion of the men of GLoP. That is, until Rob becomes the Dog Whisperer, Jonah and John debate the merits of their Twitter followers, and Disney/Pixar loses a visionary filmmaker to the #MeToo movement.

GLoP Culture #98

Blame Canada!

June 11, 2018

Hosted by John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long

This week on the world famous GLoP Podcast (that’s Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, and John Podhoretz), we travel north for a little Rank Punditry ® on Canada and the G7 conference, digest the subtle yet sparkling political observations of Robert DeNiro, and do some tributes to two members of the GLoP Hall of Fame: Dr. Charles Krauthammer and Anthony Bourdain. Hats off, gentlemen.
