The following podcast contains explicit language.

I'm Stephen McCaff and this is the Slayer Culture Gap Fest. Chaos is the new cocaine edition.

It's Wednesday, November 6th, 2019.

On today show, Dolomite is my name is an Eddie Murphy vehicle, it's on Netflix, and tells this based on a true story story of Rudy Ray Moore, of Black'sploitation legend.

And then Apple TV Plus is here, announcing its outsized ambitions with The Morning Show, which stars Reese Witherspoon, Steve Gerel and Jennifer Aniston, very a list list there.

And finally, the Writers of Deadspin all walked out on mass, pretty much, I guess it was in

tranches, but the end effect is they've all walked out.

When they were told to stick to sports by their new owner, we discussed this with Tom Skokka who in addition to being a

deadspin alumnus is the new political letter, new wish political editor at Slate.

Joining me today is Julia Turner who is of course the deputy managing editor at the L.A. Times, hey Julia.

Hello, hello. And Dana Stevens who's Slate's film critic.

who was reaching the absolute end of the showbiz line as an assistant in an LA record store

when through sheer chutzpah charm luck, I guess as part of it too, in early middle age turned himself

into a successful Chitlin Circuit comedian.
