When was this golden era you think existed?

I’ve gotten into Chuck Klosterman’s work in the last few years, and I think his newest book, The Nineties: a Book, is one of his best, although I think a better title would something like From Nevermind to 9/11.

The Day After Tomorrow was a Roland Emmerich movie.

Has any other two unrelated actors played parent and child twice by coincidence?

I don’t think “if it didn’t work they wouldn’t do it” is as conclusive as you think, especially since “successful” businessmen like Musk and Trump don’t seem to actually know as much about business as a lot of people think.

“During the Vietnam War, which lasted longer than any war we’ve ever been in - and which we lost - every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder…

When I watched the whole run of Veep last year one thing I noticed about its early years is how much the characters worried about minor gaffes of the sort that would barely register at all in the Trump era.

What makes you think they don’t really believe the “grooming” stuff?

“Going native” has been around forever.

Titanic was predicted to be a flop.

Jon Stewart was the one who picked Trevor for the gig, so I think you should give Jon at least some of the blame for the ratings drop.

There are a lot of things young people do that I never did even when I was young, but I don’t think it’s fair to judge people on the standard of “I never did that!”

I remember seeing it on Comedy Central reruns in the early 2000s.

I finally read that whole book earlier this year.

I always liked that he wasn’t as cynical as a lot of other comedians.

Based on what he’s been doing lately I don’t think Jon is unbothered by politics.

“During the Vietnam War, which lasted longer than any war we’ve ever been in - and which we lost - every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam.

If voting make no difference Trump would still be president.

Good timing on mentioning John Aniston by name.
