Show Notes
On our second double bill of this miniseries, we're joined by writer/producer Sarah Watson (The Bold Type, Parenthood) and writer/producer Adam Karp (Once Upon a Time, Teen Wolf), making his second appearance in the past week, to discuss The West Wing's ninth episode, THE SHORT LIST.
We discuss how Sorkin was ahead of his time when thinking up political issues for the show, including minority representation on the supreme court, and privacy rights on the internet. We also continue to break down the gender politics of the show, including how the program allows Allison Janney to be tall and powerful, the embarrassing way they dress down Mandy, and talk about how the nuances of the Josh/Donna relationship are beginning to come into focus.
