Ep 114Equilibrium (2001)
Remember how good The Matrix was? Well, this isn't as good despite grabbing a lot of the same movie ideas. Even so...there are lots of liberal minded themes to discuss here.

Ep 113Dune: Part 2 (2024) with Chris Wade (Chapo Trap House) and Commie Trucker
Have some spice and settle into a therapy session on Dune: Part 2. What else is there to say, you've heard of this film. It made lots of money, but was it good?

Ep 57{Rebroadcast} Dune (2021) with Commie Trucker
Rebroadcast in anticipation of Dune: Part 2 coming April 4, 2024 Frank Herbert's Dune series has long been considered an impossible series to bring to film. We saw David Lynch try and fail, but in 2021, Denis Villeneuve accomplished the unthinkable. Dune Part One, the first half of the first novel, is a stunning film that really does an excellent job bringing the story to life. I'm joined again by Commie Trucker, co-host of the Left without Borders podcast, to discuss how it does the book justice, the themes embedded in the movie and why it's so beloved among the right wing.

Ep 111The Purge (2013) & The Purge: Anarchy (2014) with Molly McLear and Don Guillory
The Purge and its successors in the franchise are almost to obvious in their messages and themes, but they are ripe for discussion especially given plans for a 6th film and the state of the world in 2024.

Ep 109Jackie Brown (1997)
Quentin Tarantino made Pulp Fiction and then said, well, maybe that was a little too violent, I'm gonna make something different. And that film was Jackie Brown and it's a 5 star film.

Ep 108Salvador (1986) with Leftist Squidward
This week I'm joined by Thomas (Leftist Squidward on TikTok) to discuss a film with a historical perspective: Oliver Stone's Salvador. The film went mostly unnoticed at the time and even since has little resurgence. There is however, a lot to going on in the 1979-1980 period in El Salvador and we delve into the film as well as the history.

Ep 36{Rebroadcast} Starship Troopers (1997)
**With some renewed interest in Starship Troopers after some very awful X (formerly Twitter) threads, I wanted to rebroadcast this episode which gets into the heart of the matter: This movie is satire.** Starship Troopers is one of, if not the greatest, the best spoof military films of all time. Paul Verhoeven is the GOAT when it comes to satire, especially military and police related. The mastermind behind Robocop brought the novel to life in a much better way. Verhoeven used the imagery of fascism, the third reich, the United States to show what ongoing militarism looks like if we keep going in that direction.

This episode was scheduled a bit further out, but it felt fitting with the passing of legend Carl Weathers to get it out there. Predator is one of the great action films of all time and paired with Predator 2, you really get a lot of the political through lines. I'm joined by returning guest Joe Mayall and Keith.

Ep 96Bonus! Exodus (1960): with Intervention Pod & Labor Jawn
We're back with Evan of Left of the Projector for the third (maybe second?) entry in the History in Film series. This time it's 1960's Zionist epic, Exodus. Based on the novel of the same name by Leon Uris, this film aimed to convince American Jewry to consider the State of Israel (at this point, only twelve years old) as a nation deserving their investment, sympathy, and loyalty. Somehow, we've dragged along Sam and Gabe from Labor Jawn to slog our way through this three and half hour long piece of Zionist propaganda...at least we got a shirtless Paul Newman out of it.

Ep 78Night of the Living Dead with Comrades
George A Romero is typically considered the father of the modern zombie film. Continuing spooky season, I'm joined by Levi (The Intervention), Red and Cole to discuss what zombies are in this film, how the year of release (1968) is so significant to the film and much more. There are countless articles the group read preparing and so below you'll find a collection of some of those pieces. *Correction: It took longer than 3 weeks to film this movie* NY Times - Horror Auteur Is Unfinished With the Undead // Why George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead still gets under our skin // George Romero’s zombies will make Americans reflect on racial violence long after his death // How 1960s counterculture infected George A.

Ep 74BONUS: The Grapes of Wrath with The Intervention
Bonus crossover content!! I joined The Intervention to discuss a couple of pieces of culture from the New Deal Era. We start by taking a look at the fascistic Gabriel Over the White House, brought to you by arch-reactionary and media oligarch, William Randolph Hearst. We then move to the meat of the discussion on a decidedly better piece of culture, The Grapes of Wrath, in its various media manifestations.

Ep 73Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Rob Rousseau (Insurgents podcast) and Oslowe
Is this movie a remake? If so, is it "the greatest remake of all time?" Regardless, the space goo has come to earth and it is turning everyone into mindless consumers who no longer think for themselves. Can it be stopped before it's too late?

Ep 72Dogma (1999)
Kevin Smith created the View Askewniverse for his films and it's quite possible that Dogma is the most polished, insightful and "best" of the bunch.

Ep 71Men in Black with Andre Swai and CJ (@LoveBroccoli)
The Men in Black: a secret agency of the the Immigration and Naturalization Services (I.N.S.) that is in charge of illegal and legal "aliens" from other galaxies. Their existance is hidden through a flashy red light that allows the agency to mold the story to fit their narrative. Add this all together and you political film showing the dangers of illegal immigrants and how the US uses propaganda surrounding it to fit their narrative.
