Each week, former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett and a panel of comedians, actors, journalists, and some of the many, many famous Friends of the Pod break down the week’s biggest news and make fun of whatever bullshit came out of our insane political nightmare factory.

Crooked Media believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us—one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. We are a media network that showcases stories, voices, and opportunities for activism that inform, entertain, and inspire action, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world.

That’s it. End of mission.

    I feel like Jon and Janina need a podcast of their own.
  • @TF-vb9us
    The chemistry was off the chart in this episode 😂
  • She’s fantastic! Not a gamer myself unfortunately but really glad Lovett hosted her for the introduction
  • I'd never heard of Janina until now, but I love seeing geeky people getting excited about their fandoms I could watch this sort of content for days!
  • @chrisbarker1046
    The shared enthusiasm was a joy to watch, a terrific connection.
  • @the_asmer
    When Janina started talking about how she played Lorelai, I felt seen XD
  • Jon's description of getting caught by twists 100% of the time is sooooo relatable. Unless it's a stock plot with a stock twist or a dramatic irony moment, I can truly never read a character's intention in anything. Which gets weird when you play a lot of jrpgs and obscure indie games...

    That was so fun to watch, they were genuinely excited about each other and common interests! :D
  • @RealJosephMM
    I became a lifelong Janina fan when i saw her speak about her experience being the lead in the Battlefront 2 storyline. She spoke with such passion for a medium that’s so easy for people to brush off as childish. She was incredible in that story and so glad to see her get the spotlight she deserves.
  • @GTRichardson7
    oh man, this was so lovely... i Know Lovett doesn't need another podcast, but i would 100% watch/listen to Jon nerd out with other game nerds about games... just sayin...
  • @Em2bits
    Obsessed with both of your body language throughout this entire clip 😂
  • @aneru9396
    4:09 You know what? Just because of how she responded to that question, I'm gonna see if I can watch that Borderlands movie she's in. I love how passionate she is for narrative games. edit: Pleeeeease invite Jonothon Blow lol
  • @podracer35
    I never thought to look into it, but I'm actually super hyped to learn the person who played Iden Versio is of Indian descent. And that she was also in The Vampire Diaries... I love hearing actors geek out about games and stuff (especially when they're involved in said games).

    After a brief period of disappointment when I, as an eight-year-old, saw the 1993 Mario Bros movie, I soon came to love it. It's great so long as you don't think of it as a Mario Bros movie. It's just a wacky, over-the-top, fun, goofy sci-fi movie.
  • @chriswest6988
    Man I thought "walking simulator" was as pejorative a description of that type of game as you could get, but "game where you have to walk around a small town until you figure out how your Aunt died" is brutal.
  • @Zazuk68
    JD Vance should be called Shady Stance
  • @sagi.r
    What a great segment, so joyful!
  • @sambotwan
    Super cool lady. AND she got to play a part on Stargate Atlantis!
