Real Time with Bill Maher continues its 20th season Friday, October 28 (10:00-11:00 p.m. live ET/tape-delayed PT), with a replay at 12:00 a.m., exclusively on HBO.

This week features a one-on-one interview with Quentin Tarantino, filmmaker, screenwriter, and author whose new book, Cinema Speculation, is out on November 1st..

This week's in-studio panel discussion will include Gillian Tett, chair of the editorial board and U.S. editor-at-large of the Financial Times and author of Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life; and Yuval Noah Harari, professor of history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and author of the new book for pre-teens, Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World.

1. I wonder if maybe a DU poll on how many du members watch Maher these days?

It's my sense he is so reviled here, (with good cause) that a miniscule percentage of members remain faithful viewers.

As long as Bill-listen-and-watch-only-me-Maher is anywhere near the set, the special guest appearance will be diminished greatly, unfortunately.

5. Many. See about 1000 views of the tapes

Watch the "New Rules" segment. Some hurting truths.

Regardless, just because many here do not like him, or do not like Chuck Todd, or Andrea Mitchell, does not mean that they should not be mentioned here.

So I am grateful to Rhiannon12866 for diligently posting the upcoming show and then the videos.

2. Third week in a raw that major events have taken place right before the airing?

3. And none of the guests are related to news organizations, do they follow breaking news?

I was thinking that Rachel Maddow would be a appropriate guest right now (again) since she has her new podcast. They usually have guests who have a new book out.

8. The guests were very interesting, topic was social media. Elon Musk, Twitter.

Rachel Maddow wouldn't be better than the guests.

4. Him

I have to be in the right mood to listen to that blowhard. Occasionally, good ideas. Mostly seem to be doubling down on that pompous narcissist thing as he gets older.

6. Tarantino was great, interesting stories

about his childhood passion for and love of movies. Enjoyed Bill and his guests with our favorite take-out pizza and a few glasses of wine. Perfect evening!

7. Thanks, and I enjoyed the show, too.

Tarantino was entertaining and outspoken as usual and I was not familiar with either of the panelists, but they were both informed and interesting.
