Listen live Friday at 1 p.m.

In July, after CBS canceled The Late Show, President Trump posted that “Jimmy Kimmel is next.” And now his administration seems nearly to have made that happen.

And: The Paper is a sequel to and spinoff from the American version of The Office set at a newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. It stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, and Oscar Nunez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez from The Office.

And finally: The Naked Gun to and a reboot of the Naked Gun film series and the Police Squad! franchise. It’s the fourth movie in the series, and it stars Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, and more.

GUEST:

  • Xandra Ellin: A producer for the BBC’s The Global Story, and she writes the How Can I Make This About Me Substack
  • Shawn Murray: A stand-up comedian, writer, and the host of the Fantasy Filmball podcast
