Good question: How well do fake president movies do at the Oscars?
Better question: How well does @therealbenoren.bsky.social do in the little game I cooked up based on the Oscar-history of all the movies we've covered?
Best question: Why have you not already downloaded this ep?!
From the Rambo (2008) Wikipedia page: Post-production John Rambo was the original working title for the film but was changed in the US because Stallone thought that audiences might think that this is the final film in the Rambo series, due to the then recently released Rocky Balboa (2006), which was not his original intent. In many other countries, the title John Rambo is used because the first Rambo film First Blood was known as Rambo in those countries. The film premiered on US television as Rambo, but the title sequence referred to it as John Rambo.
I could’ve sworn “John Rambo” was the title of the 2008 movie… and I was right, it was! And it was wasn’t! It’s Schrodinger’s Stallone Title!
Reminds me when a relative complained to me after seeing [redacted for spoilers] — “it’s like going to see Rocky and he didn’t win!?”
(I got his point, he didn’t like the inconclusive ending of [redacted], but… Rocky didn’t win in the first movie!)
Nothing screams “romantic getaway” like jetting off with the woman you love to a place where women are a second class citizen
Um, “party of working people”? That’s the phrase they want to use with him? I can think of another party with “worker” on its official name…
btw, this isn't to dismiss the importance of performance - so many great works of art, music, film, etc have had profound impacts on the course of history - just pointing out that this specific example of performance being passed off as something else is having some profound negative impacts
For some reason I’m now thinking of the old adage: if your brand of activism is, in fact, a brand, and it’s so lucrative you get to fly around on private jets, then what you’re doing isn’t activism, it’s performance
Fun fact: if just ONE player had been picked up on mic saying anything to the effect of “why wouldn’t you want to invite the women’s team? They fucking rocked” that dude would have the best selling jersey in the NHL right now
For the longest time, a driving ethos of these people was that poor people don’t act poor enough (in their eyes), but now they clearly think the middle class doesn’t act poor enough either.
Oh he’s totally one of those douches who still complains about “poor people” having “flatscreen TVs”
And after taping this one SOTU, it’ll be shown again and again, at least once a month at 2am on a local CBS affiliate for the next 15 years
Also: the Pitt-Cruise fight video doesn’t appear to have been made the way the AI hype folks are claiming it was made… (spoiler alert: the AI hypers might be lying, like, a lot)

Spoiler alert!
BBC headline: Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession Sub headline: The former Duke of York is eighth in line to the throne meaning he remains eligible to be King. 4 hours ago
And, uh, what happens if all seven die after he’s convicted but before he’s officially removed from the line of succession? Do they have to release him from jail to be king?
Asking for a screenwriter
Turns out the secret ingredient to making democracy stick is…
…simply making it more lucrative to be a former president than a current one
They…can’t handle the truth
Of course this will get but a tiny fraction of the original coverage.
Our first P-Day ep was also our first real break in format. Instead of covering a single fictional potus, we went through 45 years of SNL history to create a SWEET 16 TOURNAMENT BRACKET to find the best presidential impersonator in the show's history.... and then Lorne hired James Austin Johnson
Happy Presidents Day to all who celebrate! No new episode today, as we solemnly observe this most sacred of days (praying, fasting, atoning, etc.)
But might we suggest some gems from our catalog?
New sport, or someone in Italy didn’t get their venue ready in time?
look, all I’m saying is that it’d be a little more interesting to watch the Olympics if the losers weren’t allowed back into their home countries
Side-by-side photographs of the Los Angeles skyline. On the left, a smoggy haze blocks the buildings in the 1980s; on the right, clear skies after a winter storm in 2015. As Smog Thins in L.A., Dramatic Evidence of Kids' Healthier Lungs New study shows Los Angeles-area kids have fewer breathing problems now than they did in the 1990s.
Government did this, not “the free market” or “unregulated business.”
Happy Presidents Day!

could be worse
the score could be 6-7
my new pet theory:
there used to be a natural divide between old money and new money, and things started getting really, really bad when they realized they were on the same side
yes it's 1:28am where I am and I'm still up and can't fall asleep why do you ask
UK's Mirror newspaper headline (in the Football section): READING KITMAN HIT WITH SIX-MATCH BAN FOR VILE HOMOPHOBIC ABUSE OF REFEREE. And the sub-headline reads: Richard Bone, Reading's assistant kit manager, admitted the homophobic abuse of referee Matt Corlett during a 2-0 defeat by Huddersfield in League One in August
I'm sorry, but if your last name is Bone, there are certain first names you just gotta leave off the baby naming list
And the best news… the Brad Pitt movie is still there!
