On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the cancellation of Jon Stewart’s show by Apple. Was it driven by fear of criticizing China, or, possibly, something far more prosaic? Then we set our sights on Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s new film starring Martin Scorsese and his two most frequent onscreen collaborators, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. There’s much to discuss about Scorsese’s epic, which focuses on the murders of the Osage people in Oklahoma in the 1920s and asks who can tell their story. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday for our bonus episode, a Martin Scorsese movie draft. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
I'm listening to this at work. I started listening to podcasts during the pandemic when I was working from home. Now, I can't stand the silence if I DON'T have a podcast on for background noise.

I enjoyed Peter’s take on Taxi Driver that it’s cued up on my DVD player for tonight’s entertainment.
What if you aren’t on Twitter?
I collect and play on my games while I listen
I am doing exactly that as I listen to this podcast, washing pans . . . and generally cleaning up the kitchen after dinner.
How I listen:
I do so while doing my daily walk around our country yard.
About the movie:
great insights from all three of you. Unfortunately, I figure all that out within the first 45 minutes of the movie and then had to endure almost 3 hours of horrible people doing repetitive horrible thngs and nobody doing anything about it. Never bought Mollie's character including why she loved Ernest (who was an incredibly frustrating character to endure through the running time). I agree with a reviewer who said Leo looked constipated the entire movie. Needed to be a standard 2 hour length.
A thought did occur to me in the movie:
Were DiCaprio and De Niro doing their impressions of Donald Trump in the movie? DiCaprio always comes up with excuses when confronted by people and completely denies he is a bad person like Trump does in public. De Niro sounded like Trump toward the end when he is so nicely trying to talk people out of testifying against him. Kind of sounded like how Trump probablly spoke to the growing list of people now turning against him.
I was driving to and back from picking up ribs at City BBQ. Rib special every Tuesday.

Hi - On my apple podcast feed the picture showing for your podcast is now Mona Charon's show instead of your show. I don't know if anyone has told you. Love the show.
oh that's ... weird. Let me see what's going on
You keep me company while I eat lunch! BTW, Apple+ shows are the best of all the streaming shows. For All Mankind is amazing. And Foundation! … which out-Asimoved Asimov. 😬
I’m quilting while I listen to you.
I listen to ATMA in a box, with a fox, on the train, and in the rain. I listen to it here, I listen to it there. In a house, with a mouse...
