Dan wants to see Tom Waits, which is hard to explain. (Wait a sec. Lex, did you write this? I happen to like Tom Waits. Anyway…) Dana inherits a gun, which is also strange (OK, we both agree here). William H. Macy’s Sam gets a big storyline and a dramatic moment, and the substitute anchor filling in for Dan is so terrible that it — you guessed it! — beggars belief. We’re Sorkin’ In It all, though, so let’s discuss. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Is the stock market in an AI bubble? What happens if it bursts? To understand our current economic moment, it's essential to understand history. That's why journalist and author Andrew Ross Sorkin joined host Jeff Berman onstage at the Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco in October. His new book is 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History–and How It Shattered a Nation. Sorkin explains the lessons we can learn from this historical moment – and how they provide cautionary tales.The book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/665634/1929-by-andrew-ross-sorkin/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, soy José Enrique Guzmán, su anfitrión, que hoy está particularmente emocionado porque inauguramos un ciclo dedicado a uno de los titanes del guionismo contemporáneo: Aaron Sorkin. Pero antes de sumergirnos en sus palabras afiladas como bisturíes, permítanme esbozar un poco el mapa de este genio neoyorquino.  Aaron Benjamin Sorkin nació en 1961 en Manhattan, en una familia que respiraba cultura por los cuatro costados: su padre era abogado y su madre, profesora. Desde joven, Sorkin se sintió atraído por el teatro, estudiando en la Universidad de Syracuse, donde se graduó en Bellas Artes con énfasis en teatro musical. Sus inicios fueron en Broadway, donde, como un joven dramaturgo ambicioso, debutó en 1989 con una obra que ya apuntaba maneras: "Cuestión de Honor". Imagínense: un chico de veintitantos años escribiendo sobre dilemas éticos en el ejército, inspirado en una anécdota real que le contó su hermana, quien era abogada naval. Esa obra fue un éxito rotundo en el off-Broadway y luego en el circuito principal, atrayendo la atención de Hollywood. De ahí, Sorkin dio el salto al cine y la televisión, convirtiéndose en un maestro de los diálogos que fluyen como un río caudaloso, pero con la precisión de un reloj suizo. Sus guiones son como partidas de ajedrez verbal: rápidos, ingeniosos y siempre un paso adelante. Ahora, para este ciclo, vamos a enfocarnos exclusivamente en su obra cinematográfica, dejando de lado –con un suspiro de resignación– sus joyas televisivas. ¿Por qué? Bueno, series como "Sports Night", "The West Wing" o "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip", un vistazo satírico al mundo de la TV en vivo... no están disponibles en ninguna plataforma de streaming aquí en Latinoamérica, lo que nos obliga a posponer esa conversación para cuando los dioses del copyright seapiaden de nosotros. Así que, nos ceñiremos al celuloide.Por ende, hoy arrancamos con su ópera prima en la gran pantalla: " Cuestión de Honor ", de 1992. “Cuestión de Honor” es un thriller judicial que te agarra por el cuello desde el minuto uno. Ambientada en la base naval de Guantánamo, sigue a dos marines acusados de asesinar a un compañero durante un "código rojo", esa práctica no oficial de disciplina que huele a abuso de poder. El teniente Daniel Kaffee, un abogado naval interpretado por un Tom Cruise en su mejor forma de galán arrogante pero redimible, toma el caso junto a su equipo: la tenaz Jo Galloway (Demi Moore) y el astuto Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak). Enfrentados a un muro de silencio militar, se topan con el imponente coronel Nathan Jessup, encarnado por un Jack Nicholson que mastica el escenario con esa sonrisa lobuna suya. Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland y J.T. Walsh completan un elenco estelar queeleva el material a alturas estratosféricas. En fin, Aaron Sorkin es, probablemente, uno de los mejores –si no el mejor– guionista de Hollywood en la actualidad. Sus diálogos son como fuegos artificiales: rápidos, explosivos, cargados de inteligencia y un humor que te hace reírmientras piensas. Sus personajes no son marionetas; son mentes brillantes, a veces falibles, siempre divertidas en su complejidad humana. Y sus historias te atrapan como una red bien tejida, contadas con una maestría narrativa que haceque el tiempo vuele. Aquí en "Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas", somos fans absolutos, con devoción casi religiosa–. Así que, empecemos con la que lo inició todo, " Cuestión de Honor ", para desmenuzarla a fondo, y descubrir por qué Sorkin no solo escribe guiones, sino que reinventa el arte de contar historias.  ¿Nos acompañan?Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten! #Sorkin⁠ ⁠#TomCruise⁠ ⁠#JackNicholson⁠ ⁠#Cine

Why have CEOs been so eager to bend the knee? How are tariffs actually affecting the economy? Is the next major financial crisis already underway? New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about our weird economy under Trump 2.0. They discuss big business's refusal to stand up to Trump, the prospect of a crypto-crash big enough to tank the U.S. economy, and why this moment is eerily similar to the stock market crash that kicked off the Great Depression, which Sorkin writes about in his new book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

We all know the date. But what really happened in October 1929? New York Times financial columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin joins Katie to discuss his new book, 1929, which demystifies one of the most famous (and infamous) chapters in American History. Through extensive research into letters and diaries of the era’s biggest players, Sorkin reconstructs the chaos and conviction of a world on the brink. How the bankers, politicians, and investors thought they were saving the system even as they helped its unraveling. It’s a conversation about how good intentions can spiral into catastrophe—and why the real lesson of 1929 is not to dance while the music plays, but to remember that, at some point, it always stops.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 5: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: THE DISASTA IN ALASKA The Disasta in Alaska - starring the cheeseburger-eating surrender monkey. We have, to quote Churchill, suffered a defeat, without a war. Because we forget we don’t MERELY have an evil, deranged president, we have an evil, deranged president who is also a moron. Now, Trump - Putin’s butt boy, his errand carrier - will deliver Putin’s message to Zelensky in Washington. He will be accompanied by EU President von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Rutte, Presidents Macron of France and Stubb of Finland, Prime Ministers Starmer of the U-K and Meloni of Italy, and Chancellor Merz of Germany. Trump will be accompanied by a large selection of mirrors. I suspect Trump will parrot what he remembers of Putin's message (whatever Trump's staff didn't leave on the printer of the business center at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage) and tell Zelensky that the way to achieve an end to the war in Ukraine is: to lose. The best thing Zelensky and the Europeans could say in response would be to state that they are withdrawing their recognition of the government of the United States of America because it is just too effing stupid. From the Disasta in Alaska to the Occupied territory of Washington, D.C. And don’t forget what Trump today DOUBLING the number of National Guard in DC with new recruits from Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina (all of them, far more violent than DC) means: It means he’s read his cratering polls number and declared war on the United States of America. Also: we rejoin the Trumpstein Cover-up Scandal, already in progress. B-Block (30:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: International Fop Piers Morgan FINALLY does a journalism - posts a meme of Trump on his way to meet Putin and Trump is wearing kneepads - and then DELETES the first journalism of his life? Pam Bondi proudly admits The Deep State has defeated her fascist DOJ with nothing more than a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub. And the battle of the most overrated people in their field: neither CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin nor House Democratic mis-Leader Hakeem Jeffries repeat Andrew Cuomo's canard that Democratic NYC mayor nominee Zohran Mamdani lives in a rent-CONTROLLED apartment when he, like HALF of all NYC renters (myself included) lives in a rent-STABILIZED apartment. Sorkin repeats this FOUR times, Jeffries doesn't correct him, and Jeffries who is theoretically a congressman from New York STILL refuses to endorse his own party's nominee, chosen by its MEMBERS, for mayor OF New York. Sorkin should be fired and Jeffries should resign. C-Block (43:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody wrote last week that Aaron Sorkin's HBO "Newsroom" version of some of what happened to Countdown on MSNBC was the worst fictionalization of journalism in the English language. I think that's an exaggeration. It wasn't nearly that good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesWith the MCU's latest big screen offering now in theaters, as rabid fans, it only makes sense to look to the future, and apparently Marvel and Sony agree, as myriad fresh details surrounding the franchise's next film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day began hitting the internet all weekend. First, last Friday morning Sony released a 9-second video teasing features of Spidey's new suit, which was quickly followed up with a 23-second video with star Tom Holland, in suit, performing some minor acrobatics the next day. Finally, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the longstanding rumor that Mark Ruffalo is reprising his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk for the film, while Better Call Saul actor, Michael Mando, was also announced to be returning as Mac Gargan/The Scorpion.The Fantastic Four: First Steps continued its box office reign, raking in $39.6 million its second weekend for a $368 million total global haul. While far from a defeat, the staggering 67% drop from the flick's first weekend presents a significant loss in momentum and is in stark contrast with expectations, which were largely fueled by positive reception and strong word of mouth among critics and fans. Elsewhere, Superman crossed the $550 million milestone internationally, and Jurassic World: Rebirth passed $750 million at the global box office after 5 weeks in theaters, becoming only the third film of 2025 to do so behind Lilo & Stitch and A Minecraft Movie. Amazon MGM's upcoming James Bond film being directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, is quickly coming together as Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has been hired to pen the script. Apart from Peaky Blinders, Knight has enjoyed a storied career on the small screen as a screenwriter, director and producer involved with projects such as Apple TV's See and Netflix's All The Light We Cannot See, while also co-creating Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? As far as big screen contributions, he wrote the screenplays for Eastern Promises and Spencer, which were both Oscars-nominated, and directed the films Hummingbird, Locke and Serenity, the 2019 film starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. Considering candidates for our new Bond, as if we could ever get enough of Tom Holland, the actor went on record to voice his reverence for the role as the “pinnacle” for British actors, while seemingly disqualifying himself by announcing another break from acting in 2027.Per Deadline, Matt Smith has joined the cast of Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter in a villain role, set to appear alongside Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth in the film set for May 28, 2027. The House of the Dragon star gets another shot at the Star Wars universe after previously being cast in The Rise of Skywalker but ultimately not appearing in the final film.John Krasinski announced he's returning to direct, write and produce A Quiet Place Part III, set for release on July 9, 2027; no cast or story details have been revealed.Disney and Lucasfilm announced Star Wars: A New Hope will return to theaters on April 30, 2027, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film.Aaron Sorkin has his sights set on Oscar winner Mikey Madison and Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White to star in The Social Network Part II, with Madison potentially playing a whistleblower and White as journalist Jeff Horwitz behind the explosive Facebook Files exposé. While no formal offers have been made, sources say these are Sorkin's top choices for the sequel that will explore Facebook's role in various controversies rather than serving as a direct continuation of the 2010 film.

Bradley Whitford Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson It was a sweet reunion when 3 x Emmy-winner Bradley Whitford of The West Wing was surprised and serenaded by composer Snuffy Walden, with the show's Emmy-winning theme. They share quite a bit of history, having also done Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Last night Snuff and I binged the pilot episodes of both shows and were astounded by how timely they still are. Bradley and I discussed his storyline in that first West Wing, which could've been ripped out of today's headlines. We also talked about Studio 60 and the irony of Danny Trip's confession to Matt Albie, played by Matthew Perry, about his drug slip. Bradley's emotional remembrance of the show, its cast, and specifically Matthew's comedic brilliance, and the pocket of sobriety for Matt that allowed for some of his best work. Bradley ain't no Hollywood fluffernutter. Of progressive Quaker stock, his father, who worked at an insurance company, was the local president of Planned Parenthood before it was political, his mother was an outspoken advocate, and his brother, a conscientious objector. Talk about an unusual childhood, he has an 85-year-old sister. Bradley came from a loving, functional home, and still became an actor. Now that's an anomaly right there. We did a deep dive into the state of the union. Thoughtful, passionate, and in solution, Bradley puts his activism where his mouth is. We talked Trump, Musk, Kennedy, gender affirming care, Biden, Kamala, Hillary, Iran, immigration, how art will not save us, only politics will. And yet much of Bradley's art is political. We spoke about The Handmaid's Tale from innumerable angles. For me, arguably perhaps the greatest show ever on television, and his Commander Lawrence, is probably the most layered, complex character he's portrayed. We talked about Elisabeth and their earlier connection in The West Wing, Anne Dowd, and how her spectacular performance inspired Margaret Atwood's writing, The Testaments, for her. Bradley was far more interested in talking about current affairs and how essential it is that we do more than talk than he was in talking about his work. But we did squeeze in some time to discuss For Worse, the indie feature his bride, Amy Landecker, wrote, directed, and stars in alongside Bradley. His respect, love, and admiration to Amy are adorable to behold. Making the festival circuit and winning awards along the way, I can't wait to see the film loosely based on their romance. I'm a fan. A great, big avid Bradley Whitford fan. The last time we met, it was at a big Hollywood soiree. He was equally as open, personable, unaffected, opinionated, and accessible as he was this day. As much as I adore his work, I'm grateful as hell for his humanity and advocacy. I hope to consider “What would Bradley do” a whole lot more moving forward. And speaking of hope, he has it in abundance… mix that with some fun, his learned recipe's secret sauce, and there's good reason to trust that there are better days ahead. It's up to us, all of us, to make it so. This should be essential viewing for anyone in fear and despair.

In this episode of JKL Media recorded on June 22nd, hosts Jesse, Karen, and Lou discuss their appreciation for Aaron Sorkin's works, with a primary focus on his film 'The Trial of the Chicago 7'. Jesse expresses his admiration for Sorkin's storytelling, highlighting the significant impact Sorkin's works have had on him. Karen and Lou also share their thoughts on the film, discussing the authenticity of its historical portrayal, the strong cast performances, and the relevance of its themes in today's political climate. Lou brings a non-American perspective, pointing out the challenges of dramatizing real events while retaining accuracy. The discussion touches on the broader context of political manipulation within judicial systems and the need for contemporary figures who are willing to stand up for their beliefs as vehemently as historical activists like Abby Hoffman. The episode concludes with reflections on how current events mirror past political @jessejacksondfw @aleveria @LouWSytsma

With a title like “Louise Revisited”, Sorkin fans may think this is another “Jeremy narrates the episode” trope, but Lex and Brian are relieved to find out that’s not the case. Instead we have a silly subplot about a “Who’s cooler, Dan or Casey” online poll and way too much time spent dwelling on undergarments. This may sound like a bit of a mess, but not to worry, Lex and Brian are here to help you Sorkin’ in It (and they’re both wearing underwear). Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Rumors abound: Is the network bringing in a ratings consultant? Not exactly—Isaac is. Dana’s enforcing her terrible dating rule, Dan is reckoning with it, and the new guy at the show is… intimidating. Especially his mustache. There’s a lot to process. That’s why Brian and Lex are here. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Brad Thompson joins the program to talk about the weekend that was against the Dodgers and the positive takeaways from the series win. BT also shares his perspective on the energy at Busch, Clayton Kershaw's comments about the video played pregame, and Michael McGreevy's outing on Sunday and the pitching staff as a whole.  Happy Birthday Aaron Sorkin.

Will and Luke hash out their differences w/r/t appreciating Aaron Sorkin as they tackle Season 2 Episode 3 of THE NEWSROOM ("Willie Pete"), which offers a surprisingly cogent critique of "the boys on the bus" as well as a lot more of Sorkin's peculiar gender politics.

Dana has an epiphany, but Casey isn’t a fan (Brian and Lex aren’t either). Meanwhile, Dan had breakfast with Hillary Clinton and tropes ensued. This may sound like an ominous episode title, but Lex and Brian found plenty to laugh about. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Lex and Brian don’t know if women have special powers, but maybe Aaron Sorkin does. Season two of Sports Night kicks off with a killer montage as Casey tries to work up the courage to ask Dana out. Jeremy and Natalie are fighting. Isaac’s back. There’s a lot to unpack - and a lot to love. You’re listening to Sorkin’ In It on the Incomparable podcast network, so stick around.

After a healthy break, we finally return to Aaron Sorkin's THE NEWSROOM.

It’s the first time Sorkin named an episode of television “What Kind of Day Has It Been.” Luckily, that’s not the most memorable part of the episode, either. Brian and Lex agree this COULD have served as a SERIES finale if necessary, but luckily, it didn’t. Casey interacts with his son; Dana interacts with her camera. And we’re there, along with you, as we blissfully Sorkin’ in it all. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

这是继《E.25 超级英雄政治学 Superhero Politics(2018.8.4)》与《E.32 回顾金斯伯格大法官 Revisiting JusticeGinsburg (2020.9.19)》之后的又一期《小声喧哗》节目回放，录制于2020年12月13日。其时2020年的美国大选刚刚结束一个月，时任总统特朗普一方正在大肆造谣，指控对手拜登的胜利是通过投票舞弊而获得的。一晃四年多过去了，特朗普再度入主白宫，所作所为比第一任期更甚。重听当时的讨论，令人无限感慨。 【以下是《小声喧哗》原节目的文案】大选在即，国难当头，人民走上街头示威，抗议国家暴力机构制造的无辜血案，而总统眼里只有党争和权斗——我们该如何讲述这样的政治现实？2020年，两个导演给出了两份截然不同的答卷：艾伦·索尔金（Aaron Sorkin）借史讽今的《芝加哥七君子审判》（The Trial of the Chicago 7），与萨沙·拜伦·科恩（Sacha Baron Cohen）荒诞黑色的《波拉特II》（BoratSubsequent Moviefilm: Delivery Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan）。这一期节目里，我们和老朋友林三土（林垚）、新朋友Huey Li一起聊了聊这两部电影。4:36 提到Sorkin的影视作品，你第一个想到的是什么？11:38 芝加哥七君子审判的历史背景，对比影片中所呈现的左翼路线冲突26:06 六十年代芝加哥示威冲突在2020年Black Lives Matter（BLM）运动中的重演40:16 在2020年，Borat似乎比Sorkin更写实47:36 我们都爱Tutar53:06 在后真相时代，我们该如何看Borat？我们还需要Borat吗？【附】《空谈》E.35 特朗普时代的美国：左翼篇 Trump's America,Part 1: The Left (2025.1.24)E.36 特朗普时代的美国：右翼篇 Trump's America,Part 2: The Right (2025.3.22)E.31 进步主义破产了吗 Is ProgressivismFalling Apart?

It’s the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Sports Night, and we learn that Casey’s “plan” isn’t as much of a plan… or is it? Meanwhile the fellas can’t seem to find their pants, Dana confronts Gordon, and Jeremy can’t stop talking about blood. That all may sound a bit weird, but don’t worry, Lex and Brian have your back. Let’s go Sorkin’ In It. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
