Sonny Bunch

Welcome back to The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood.

My name is Sonny Bunch.

I am culture editor at The Bulwark.

Uh, and I'm very pleased to be rejoined today by Chris McKenna, um, who we've had on the show a couple of times, uh, first to talk about Community, then to talk about Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The world demands more Sonny Burch content.

That's, uh, you know, that, that's my understanding.

It is funny though sometimes that there, people will say Sonny Bunch when they mean Sonny Burch.

So somehow you've poisoned some brains out there.

It will be live.

We're going to be talking about The Odyssey with Sonny Bunch, both the book and the movie.

So you can do both either or none, but please join us.

We look forward to getting your comments.

On the panel with me in the cyber space, Lauren Egan, uh, author of our opposition newsletter, Andrew Angar, Morning Shots newsletter.

And in Dallas at American Airlines Arena, Sonny Bunch, getting the hazard pay.

Why don't we s- you've earned it, Sonny.

Why don't we start with you? How's it been going down there? What are the vibes like?

Trump tweeting this morning that, uh, the Republican midterm convention last night in Dallas was a major sold out hit.

It was not, Sonny.

[laughs]

Yeah.

That sound, that seemed like a rebuttal to fake news journalist, uh, Sonny Bunch-

[laughs]

... who is our, our man, who was reporting that was not the case.

Sonny has these videos where he's...

Yes

... our coverage plans are this: we got Sonny Bunch on the ground in Dallas, okay? He's gonna be checking in and out, jumping on our live feeds, but we're gonna go live both nights, Wednesday night and Thursday night.

So the idea here is to start a little bit before the keynote speech.

Uh, again, Wednesday night's gonna be Vance, Thursday night's gonna be Trump.

Controversial.

But my colleague and friend, Sonny Bunch, will be joining me to talk about it.

And we're very excited.

So all of you who have not yet read the book or seen the movie, please do that before September 16th.

But yeah, but since you mentioned it, I would also recommend that American Prometheus.

What a fascinating story of Oppenheimer's life.

And then I saw the movie and we talked about it with Sonny Bunch and it was great.

OK, so my recommendation is also a TV series, because in the era of Trump, you need you need relief.

Joining me, as always, are my two co-hosts, who tate tall a putty tat, Jonathan V.

Last and Sonny Bunch.

Join us over at subbeacon.com. Tell your friends and family to join us at subvegan.com to listen to new episodes every Friday.

We're over there on Substack.

Say hello.

If you've got questions about our Substack, I mean, things seem to be operational and a few people seem to be...

A little confused about what's happened, Sonny, right? But Patreon is

done.
