American Hamster Wheel: On The Sympathizer, Nepo Baby Art, and Indoctrination (ft. Ryan Jackson)
This is a further discussion on Park Chan-wook's The Sympathizer. Sort of. Topics discussed: the problem with art that sits on the fence, Downey Jr hijacking every project he's tied to, the watered-down osmosis of style, Jordan Peele and the state of horror, Mad Max, being ethnically ambiguous, how and why we love America, the death of Hollywood, in defense of nepotism, the devolution of rap, investigating the greatest opening scene in cinematic history, Belly and Harmony Korine, Atlanta and kings of niche audiences, the deep-seeded American narrative, the construction world vs the art world, and what's next for Agitator. patreon.com/agitator
FULL DISCLOSURE: Around the 2-hour mark for a stretch of 20-ish minutes, then again near the end of the episode, Ryan's stupid interface switched his input to AirPods mic and it sounds like a robot with a sore throat. Posting anyway because it's a great conversation, but if you're sensitive to sound, know that those are the areas it gets rough. Y'all be easy.
