On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) ask if all the famous faces at the Super Bowl mean it’s time to make selling out a dirty word again. Then they review Magic Mike’s Last Dance, a movie that doesn’t seem quite sure as to why it exists. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday for an episode on Channing Tatum, one of our last movie stars. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!
I skip the Super Bowl each year and hear about the ads afterwards from friends, family, and coworkers. Not a single person has mentioned one of them so far this year.
When I saw the Brie Larson mayo add I asked myself, “is she a movie star or a commercial actress”
I think the answer is the later.
On the other hand, I felt like the Affleck and Cooper ads had a sense of “wow, they got those guys to do a commercial. Cool”
We need more movie stars, man. This is actually depressing.
Peter: This movie is ridiculous, not good...and yet...
Bless you, man.
