Today we sat down to chat with Catherine Corman, the director of LITTLE JEWEL, and daughter of filmmaking legend Roger Corman. We talk about filming on Super 8mm, combine that with some French New Wave, a dash of film preservation appreciation, and just generally fun conversation. Funny enough, we didn't even get to speak about half the things I wanted to chat about regarding Catherine's Oscar run for LITTLE JEWEL. Definitely worth a watch!

We decided to throw a little curveball with this episode and examine the role of fascism in media over the last century or so with our guest, author and retired history professor Bruce Kuklick. We chat about his new book Fascism Comes to America: A Century of Obsession in Politics and Culture, and deep dive about Hollywood's role in driving the good vs evil narrative using fascism as a backdrop. How propaganda and techniques used during World War II are still perpetrating fascist stories today, and basically...history repeats itself if you pay close enough attention. (Technical note: Our usual streaming software was acting a little wonky so you're just getting a plain old Zoom-style interview this time.)
