THE POLITICIAN trailer

GOOP

lmao!

That lead guy looks like Fred Armisen. This is never a good thing.

You could never have heard anything about the program, but the trailer would tell anyone it is a Ryan Murphy show. Not a criticism, just an observation.

This looks so fucking good. Between this and Pose Season 2 he’s having a killer year.

Do you think Goop has a clue who any of the other people on this show are? She never knows whose in the Marvel movies with her.

I'm sure she knows who Ben Platt is. His father is a huge producer.

Gwyneth Platrow and Jessica Lange were in that HUSH movie together.

Streisand turned it down.

Trumpsters will think it's a documentary of Mayor Pete.

I can’t wait!

I know what I’ll be doing this fall...

Leave it to Murphy to make a teen movie plot, like it was used in Election, even more epic!

It looks like this will be even darker, R13.

This will be devastating for Mayor Pete.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Jessica Lange read the script. Her laughs must've shaken the whole block.

R15 how do you mean?

Lange looks good. I'll watch it.

That was Martina winking, wasn't it?

I can see Streisand not wanting to play a gargoyle, but c'mon Miss Jessica, I love ya but not every role now has to be one. Murphy get this legend a nice classy role next, she's due.

I want to buttmunch Ms. Lange.

I always thought the GLEE pilot was a massive ripoff of ELECTION. It must be Murphy's favorite movie.

R22 I only watched the first season of GLEE and recall that the early episodes were pretty similar to ELECTION now that you mention it. Rachel, in particular, has to be a Tracy Flick knockoff.

Lange is trending.

Also, the multiple narrators.

😂!!!!

These 10 seconds are perfection.

....

Looks good. I'm here for the gay storyline.

[Quote]She never knows whose in the Marvel movies with her.

Oh dear. Whose is possession. In this case you meant to write who's as in who is.

Weird how my English is better than most Americans' and English isn't even my first language.

R10 I'm not a Trumpster but the plot did subtly remind me of Mayor Pete. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

R31 your English is too good that clearly indicates that you are foreign!

R31 many Brits and Aussies and Canadians speak bad English, as well. Why single out Americans?

I mean I get people can see Mayor Pete because it involves a gay white man who wants to President, but that is pretty superficial. Just because he is the only one who has done it so far.

It's like people saying Kamala reminds them of Obama based on basically nothing more than their race.

Lange stole the trailer. Is it true Barbra turned down this role? She’ll probably regret that when Jessica picks up her Emmy.

Yes Steisand said she didn't want the committment of doing a TV series. Can't blame the bitch for being careful in how she spends her time.

Gwyneth actually turned it down at first as well, she didnt want the committment.

R35 Kamala and Obama are not a good analogy. They're both real and she's female, he's male.

Pete isnt as rich as the kid in this show though, right?

Pete is the son of a professor, a comfortable upbringing, but not rich. And he was stuck in Indiana, this takes place in California.

Really the supposed "similarities" are quite superficial.

So the only similarities are white and gay? Wow they are practically the same person.

Streisand did mention it was a very good script, so she seemed interested for a bit. Just not interested enough to move out of the Cinnabon in her basement to shoot it on location somewhere.

So Ryan did all that sucking up in Bab's basement for nothing? Although, she did fix him a soft-serve cone.

[quote]r37 Yes Steisand said she didn't want the committment of doing a TV series. Can't blame the bitch for being careful in how she spends her time.

She’s limbering up for her big return to the silver screen in GYPSY.

It is known.

only one white gay politician at a time, girls, only one!

I can't wait until Streisand is 94 and still playing Madison Square Garden and teasing about her return to film in Gypsy. It'll be tragic and hilarious.

It's tragic and hilarious NOW

Are there any scripted programs that attempt to be realistic anymore? It’s either camp or fantasy, neither of which interest me.

R48 Yes. Try "Gameface" with the wonderful Roisin Conaty. Also "After Life" with Ricky Gervais.

I don't understand the trailer. Are they trying to make Ben a high school student? He's got an obvious bald spot.

I had a bald spot in high school.

Yes the first season takes place with 25 year old Platt as a high schooler, the next season he will be older.

Ryan Murphy has said the idea is that he is running for a progressively higher office every season.

Ben still looks like he could be Gabriel Carteris son.

Ben looks like he could be Gabrielle Carteris' father.

[quote]R51 I had a bald spot in high school.

So did I ... my [italic]mussy!

R54, well get back to me when you have a Tony, Emmy and Grammy.

[R37], Perhaps Goop will eventually feel the need to Consciously Uncouple from the production down the line...

[quote] Yes Steisand said she didn't want the committment of doing a TV series.

Jeez. It's a mini-series. Her scenes would have probably been filmed within two weeks tops. Less than an actual movie.

Goop's big dicked producer husband Falchuk is Murphy's partner on this. Being the ultimate size queen, she'll stick around.

[quote] [R54], well get back to me when you have a Tony, Emmy and Grammy.

He got a Grammy for being a singer on a cast album along with several other people. He got a DAYTIME Emmy for singing on a morning show.

Everyone is 8-20 years older than the characters they're playing. Except GOOP, now relegated to "mother roles."

R61 GOOP is probably raking in $350k+ per episode for her “mother role”

I was excited for this, but the trailer did not look good to me.

It looks like Ryan has regressed to his Popular-era bitchery.

If I’m not incorrect, this was done under Murphy’s deal with Fox which is now Disney. So I wonder if that more or less means it’s a one seasoner as Disney doesn’t want to sell to anyone but Disney and Murphy has a Netflix deal he has to fulfill.

I'm underwhelmed by the trailer. And I don't know if I want to watch a whole show about bitchy, conniving queens.

They make me sad.

Agree with R65. But I’ll give it a chance just because it’s Ms. Lange. x

How would it have been done under Murphy's deal for Fox if it's on Netflix? Netflix develops their own shows; they only put their names on other shows that come from other countries.

[quote]I can't wait until Streisand is 94 and still playing Madison Square Garden and teasing about her return to film in Gypsy. It'll be tragic and hilarious.

You realize she's now planning to play June?

[Quote]Netflix develops their own shows; they only put their names on other shows that come from other countries.

This isn't true. Most of Netflix's shows were not actually produced by them. Netflix buys the rights to the show, but the actual production is handled by a production studio. It is only recently that Netflix is trying to focus more on becoming a production studio and producing the shows themselves.

But yes the The Politician was a FOX production, Netflix was production company in charge of making it.

Netflix was not*

This story takes place in a Harvard-Westlake type of school in Los Angeles, the same school Platt and many (and I mean MANY) celebrities went to. It was shot at my former high school, Fullerton Union in Orange county.

This show was the first show made by Murphy under his millionaire contract with Netflix.

"Munch.. butts.. and.. celebrate Halloween" Ok give Jessica the Oscar!!!!!

The cast is very unappealing. I feel sorry for Jessica that she gets these crummy roles.

R73 Maybe if you followed through on your gut instinct(s), she/we would get more to do.

You spill the tea @ 4 minutes and it’s piping hot and utterly delicious!

Ben looks good...he's thin. His rendition of "River" in the first episode was very good. And the guy playing River, David Corinswet, is hot.

This looks really annoying.

Loved Gwyneth falling for Martina in the On a Clear Day moment. The show goes deep in it's pop culture references
