Landman Stars Slam 'The View' in Scathing On-Screen Dialogue
14 Dec
Summary
- Show characters T.L. and Tommy debate 'The View's' perceived negativity.
- Tommy describes the show as 'pissed-off millionaires bitching'.
- The dialogue marks a rare pop culture critique in the series.
The latest episode of Paramount+'s "Landman" delivered an unexpected critique of the daytime talk show "The View." During the installment, titled "The Pirate Dinner," characters T.L. and Tommy engaged in a pointed discussion about the program, with Tommy offering a scathing assessment. He described "The View" as a place where "pissed-off millionaires" vocalize their discontent with various societal figures and groups.
This dialogue serves as a notable exception in "Landman's" typical narrative, which rarely incorporates real-world pop culture discussions. Creator Taylor Sheridan, known for his thematic depth, usually focuses on topics like alternative energy or the intricacies of country radio. The inclusion of a jab at "The View" was thus a surprising moment for viewers.
Billy Bob Thornton, who portrays Tommy, recently made a guest appearance on "The View" in 2024 to promote "Landman." The on-screen dialogue in the episode appears to be a fictionalized, critical commentary, contrasting with Thornton's own positive experience on the talk show.
