We embark on a new series of deep dives into historically important films. The first in this series is Citizen Kane. Often dubbed "the greatest film ever made," I am joined by Levi and Justin to discuss Orson Welles, the making of Citizen Kane and its historical significance.

Jurassic Park. What is there to really say about this movie other than it's what happens when a capitalist uses technology for evil instead of good and then is shocked when the results are not what he'd hoped.

Children of Men has become more relevant and prescient with every year since it came out in 2006. When we recorded this on October 19, 2023, it was stunning how you could see comparisons of the immigration facilities to Gaza. This movie is a glimmer of hope...perhaps the hope that all those who are opressed need to one day be free.

A perhaps somewhat forgotten film from the 1980's that depicts a dystopian future where people are forced to compete on a TV Game show while being hunted by stalkers. The movie is loosely based on a novel by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and takes some liberties to make it into an Arnold classic.

Hollywood rarely makes films about the Soviet Union, at least from their perspective (even if it's a bit ahistorical). The Death of Stalin came out 100 years to the month of the Russian Revolution, which was no accident. Despite the flaws of this film, which we discuss in full, it's a really fun "fan fiction" (as per Jolly Leftist). I had fun watching and hearing those more knowledgable about the period that I am discuss all the facts. I am joined by podcast regular The Jolly Leftist as well as Comrade Larry, Comrade Muerte and Companero Cruz.  Podcast Stream Links  Merch Store YouTube Channel Instagram TikTok  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leftoftheprojector/support

It's Groundhog Day...again. Actually, just the first time we have covered this time loop movie on the show. Groundhog Day is filled with jokes and Bill Murray being a total jerk. Probably for 100 or more years before he finally becomes class-conscious. We will mostly talk about how he gets to this point, how capitalist mode of production fits into the movie and lots of jokes.

District 9 is as pertinent as it was when it came out almost 15 years ago. There is a lot to discuss in this episode and we easily could have added another hour on more topics (possible bonus ep coming soon for supporters). One thing we did not address as it wasn't known prior was the director's (Neill Blomkamp) politics. Specifically in an interview which he states that the reason for lack of resources worldwide is over population and thus not enough to go around. This is straight eugenic thinking and the reality is we have people hoarding the wealth and resources worldwide. I'm joined by Ryan Howze, host of The Conscious Environment Podcast, Nat, the host of Collective Action Comics and leftist Libby.

Mystery Men is one of those films that you either love or hate. Or even more accurately, it's a film you've heard of or one you haven't. During the peak of Ben Stiller's acting career, he stared in There's Something About Mary and was riding high. Then Mystery Men came out which was an utter flop. Lucky for Stiller, Meet the Parents came out a year later and the rest is history. While Mystery Men is a goofy comedy film of working class superheros, it does say a lot about capitalist society, crime, poverty and lots of fart jokes. Joining me is Hugo and Emlie or the Jolly Leftist.

Patrick Bateman is a hero to some, a person to be emulated. I’m here to tell you: don’t be like Patrick Bateman. American psycho is a satire of materialism, capitalism and the rotten core of finance capital and Wall Street.

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. My cast of guests are here to bring light to all the fash you see depicted in this movie and of course, make it funny.

The Menu was a film I was anticipating for a while and then got a flurry of friends saying I need to see this film. While I was slightly hesitant in the episode on saying I loved this film...I definitely did. I'm joined by 5 time guest Smirk Gently and Oslowe (formerly in the Film industry) to dissect all the class themes in this film. The Menu has two important deleted scenes, one that I did not discover until after release. Check out my TikTok page @leftoftheprojectorpod for more on that! This film pits staff, givers, against the rich, takers and really has a great commentary on art, food, and how we understand these things.

Back to the horror genre once again (and next week too -- for my non-Horror fans, I got some fun episodes planned) with last years hit film The Barbarian. While this is a horror film, it definitely pushes the boundaries of a horror film. There are so many pertinent themes that are worth discussing. From Reaganomics to the me too movement, this film has much to talk about with my guests The Jolly Leftist and Comrade Cutiepie.
