Jason Momoa's second time hosting SNL was a feel good experience as advertised. We discuss the Biden Panda Cold Open and the politics of distraction, Old Timey Movies and the psychology of photography, Remember Lizards and the commodification and production of art, and a few classic Momoa moments like Cast Away and GE Big Boys (2018) that satirize masculinity. Readings include Stanley Milgram's take on photography, "The Politics of Distraction" by Liebovitch, and a new paper from Charisse and Bob Thompson on journalism as entertainment.
