One of the things that didn't make my screen last night was white lotus. I've kind of checked out on this Whoa, that's it. No, I I haven't watched a single one nor Have I shown any interest in watching it because everybody told me that the season started a little slower. I did watch last season, but I also joined in progress and I was kind of waiting for word of mouth to get to a point where I wanted to take part in the social commentary and not miss out. And a lot of people feel strongly about White Lotus. I know we got a lot of fans here, so I'm not going to give anything away. But the show started yesterday, apparently,

with a scene with two actors I hold in very high regard. I love Walton Goggins. But another actor, an Academy Award-winning actor, shared a scene with him, and he appears to be a full-fledged member of the cast now. And this was not announced. This was a surprise, and there was like 20 minutes of shared time to lead off this episode, and I think I may be in. How do you feel about surprise cast members? It was a surprise cast appearance, and I don't wanna give anything away,

other than we already gave away that there is a surprise guest appearance, but if you know who the person is, you know anything about them, it makes total sense. Because of something about them that I cannot reveal without saying who the person is. We're not gonna spoil it.

I believe the fairest criticism I've seen so far of White Lotus, wherever it is that you're saying slow, is they've had about two episodes worth of murder mystery. They've tried to string out over four episodes. That there's just some fat in it that's unnecessary to make it hour long beautiful episodes of rich tourist landscape. They could have they could have really condensed some of the storyline they added an episode this season because the first two seasons like every day was an episode and this season this whole like lunar party or full moon party, right? They got its own episode, which is out of character.

But they could've really, like, kind of, Jason and Isaac kind of know what is going on there. We didn't need to stretch that out over four episodes. I don't know, I mean, I feel like we kind of need to see how it ends, right, to figure out what details we're missing that's happening in these episodes that we're not thinking are that important until it kind of all gets wrapped together at the end, right?

Yeah, I'm open-minded about it. The ending could make it all worthwhile. I agree with you. I'm very excited. Is Jason Isaacs a good guy or a bad guy in this show? He's a pill popper. But is he a good guy or a bad guy? Everyone sort of operates in the gray in White Lotus.

But he's a defrauder. He's a person who's committed crimes, it appears. That he wasn't really the driving force on what was talked into, but still committed the crimes. We don't know a lot about him, but I think you can deduce. The world is closing in on him. Do you mean spiritually in his soul,

or do you mean his actions? We could get deep about it. It's someone who's done wrong that you seemingly are finding yourself possibly rooting for. I can never root for Jason Isaacs. Just like, there are certain roles that actors play that they are never gonna break the stigma

associated with that character. The patriot. Patriot. Like our dad? I mean, dude is a metal stand scumbag. Just pure evil. Do you know how hard it is for me to watch a movie and you're like sharing scenes with Mel Gibson

and I'm like, you're the asshole. He's the bad guy. Is the word association for typecast George Costanza? Like is there a better one than that? Just like someone that couldn't work. Jason Alexander? Oscar the Grouch. Someone that couldn't work, that's true.

Cookie Monster. You wanna hear some Isaac's quotes here to bring the show full circle on what we were talking about at the beginning because... I found these quotes to be absurd, frankly. Right? So absurd, but also wonderful because he's getting backlash online because he shut down

a question about wearing a prosthetic penis in the full frontal scene on CBS Morning's quote, a lot of people are debating it. It's all over the internet. He says he's not going to talk anymore about it quote and it's interesting because the best actress this year is Mikey Madison at the Oscars and I don't see anybody discussing her vulva which was on the screen all the time it's interesting that there's a double standard for men okay I don't even know where to begin because the nudity in Enora was one of the most hotly contested items of internet discourse

for weeks after the Oscars. But also, you just did bring up her vulpa, so now we are talking about it. He kept going, but when women are naked, Margaret Qualley as well, in the substance, nobody would dream of talking to her about her genitalia, her nipples, or any of those things, so it's odd that there's a double standard.

He's getting tired of being asked whether it was a prosthetic. But it was, wasn't it? Yes, that's where it started. And most women don't wear prosthetics when they're nude in scenes. And also, Hollywood has been making women be nude for a lot longer than we've had, like,

you know, constant male nudity, which we talked about to start the show. I just find this whole thing very very strange like just stop I would think also strange though is just Goggins having to do that scene in front of his friends Like it's got all those scenes have to be hard to do do they not? You're worried about Walton, right? You don't want to call him Walter. Is that what it is? I can't just use his last name
