Show Notes

A misanthropic catalog of shocking images from around the world, the bizarre, unpleasant, baldly racist, and extremely influential MONDO CANE (1962) was a pioneering "shockumentary." We revisit this strange and ugly artifact to discuss why it was taken so seriously in its day.


Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
