Eldon Hoke—better known to the world as "El Duce"—was one of the most notorious of the so-called "shock rockers" who frightened moralists during the George H.W. Bush years. His purposely rock-bottom art is explored in THE EL DUCE TAPES (2019), a culture war documentary in which the culture war is fought between different styles of reactionaries. PLUS: thoughts on draconian new Republican policies in Florida and Texas.
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
