- Michael and Us: Full Spectrum DominanceA podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. The '90s brought a wave of movies about divorced or absentee fathers/husbands, and none had more explosions than James Cameron's TRUE LIES (1994). We revisited this action classic to decipher how the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Jamie Lee Curtis marriage is a metaphor for America at the "End of History." PLUS: Pete Buttigig at McKinsey, Wong Kar-wai's "restorations," and Tom Cruise yelling about COVID.

2 hr 16 min - Jacobin Radio: The Science and Politics of COVID VaccinesSuzi talks to her brother, Irv Weissman, Director of Stanford University’s Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, who gives us a clear and comprehensive explanation of the new COVID vaccines. The FDA has now given emergency authorization for the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine, which like Moderna’s is an mRNA vaccine. This authorization comes in the wake of a punishing wave of infections, hospitalizations and deaths as COVID rampages across the globe, with the highest rates of infection and death in the US. California is once again on lockdown. Consider this a primer on vaccines in general but COVID in particular – and we get answers to questions about how the new COVID vaccines work, what makes them revolutionary – and what obstacles -- structural, political and scientific – need to be understood – and possibly pushed out of the way?

2 hr 20 min - Michael and Us: The Ministry of 1984 ½A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. Terry Gilliam sought to update George Orwell for the 1980s with his career-defining film BRAZIL (1985), but his future dystopia isn't animated by an ideology like Oceania's. We attempt to untangle the satire of a movie where bureaucracy itself is the problem. PLUS: we hash out our thoughts on Netflix's The Crown and the travails of Johnny Depp.
