We also discuss the direction from Thomas Schlamme, from the hackey screwball comedic moments, to the tear-jerking emotional moments. We compare the show to broadway musicals AND Will &amp; Grace, talk about how Sorkin avoids making the characters a mouthpiece for his own political views, and try to figure out how Sam Seaborn plays into the ensemble after losing his leading man status.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Find Jeff at:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://twitter.com/blue439\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com/blue439</a></p><p><br></p><p>Patreon:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989</a></p><p><br></p><p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"twitter.com/podcastlikeits\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><p><br></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"instagram.com/podcastlikeits\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">instagram.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><p><br></p><p>Reddit:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts</a></p>","author_name":"Rebel Talk Network"}
