Commune College

Proxy navigates the murky trenches of The Hays Code, a form of film censorship in early Hollywood that affects media production to this very day at the expense of queer folks, BIPOC, and many others. All with a quick dive through the rise of Christian conservativism in the 1920s-40s in America.

This week on Commune College, here’s a nice and loose discussion about 2020 recorded right at the start of January. What a time to be alive, huh?
