Discourse Blog and Slate’s very own Caitlin Schneider returns to the third chair, and you know what that means! Another fully deranged episode, including:
Jack tries to coin a new catchphrase involving Frasier
We get into MAGA’s Certified Loser reaction to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
We remember some Super Bowl Halftime Shows and are informed of The White Lotus’ Sabrina Impacciatore’s surprise performance at the Opening Ceremonies
The funniest and stupidest scandals coming out of the Winter Olympics, including Quad God, Minions Guy, and that Norwegian athlete who begged on live TV for his girlfriend to take him back after cheating on her
And in our After Dark segment available only to subscribers, we return to The Complaints Dept. for important, subversive takes on AI, depressing Super Bowl ads, and the sorry state of closed captioning on Peacock
This week’s cultural recommendations:
Jack recommends Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee’s new show, How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, on Netflix
Caitlin recommends (with admitted reservations) director Paul Schrader’s Facebook page
Aleks recommends Creed’s 2001 Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show x 9/11 Tribute
