We have created a BookShop affiliate store. Why? Well, it's a good place to index all the books we talk about on the show. And if you buy them using our affiliate links, we get a modest taste to keep our immortal lightbulbs burning. Check it out!

DHS Blackhawks landing at weed farms while agents arrest illegals and National Guard troops and Marines secure the perimeter. This is what I voted for.

We are COMING BACK with a "Vineland" series. 4(ish) episodes coming later this summer. Sorry to anyone who started Proust thinking we'd do it next: but between the new PTA movie and TP's forthcoming novel, it looks like PYNCH IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

Yes we were brought on as consultants for this project. Unfortunately, the set was shut down on day one for reasons we can't get into... Suffice to say, Mr. Levinson considers himself very "dedicated" to researching the role of Brigadier Pudding
