Hosted by Tariq Herzallah, Kristen Kranz, Kristina Lintz , Marama Whyte

August 18, 2012


The latest episode of The Sorkin Series is here, with a discussion of The Newsroom‘s “The Blackout, Part 1”. Tune in for the latest news items, plot analysis and character discussions – plus some (terrible) impressions. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Show Notes:
-News Items: We knew JGJ was on The West Wing, but apparently Aaron Sorkin didn’t.
-Episode discussion: 1×08 “The Blackout Part I: Tragedy Porn”
-What do we think about Brian? Why is he even around?
-“Hey, I’m Will McAvoy, and I’m a Republican”
-The Casey Anthony trial didn’t rate at all overseas, so why was it covered so much in America?
-Why was Anthony Weiner included? Kristina wasn’t a fan.
-Marama celebrates the best episode ever. Why? No love-triangle.
-Who’s Nancy Grace?
-Mac kicks ass and we loved it.
-The ‘Dark Knight’ machine, poor Charlie.
-We demand more Jim and Mac.
-Both Mac and Sorkin are a bit confused about what a troll is.
-Who’s socially awkward on The Newsroom? Absolutely everyone.
-The Will and Lonny bromance gets some love.
-Most people watch the news, Tariq watches the Disney channel.
-Kristen quotes the best Mac moments, boy there were a lot.
-Trailer talk: 1×09 “The Blackout, Part 2: Mock Debate”
-Looks like there will be a lot of relationship drama next week. Cue groans/cheers.
