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.

One of the most important films and potent satires you'll ever watch. Dr. Strangelove is just as relevant today. Hear Steve from The Intervention podcast and Pete discuss why...

The 1990's were wild. Boy bands, the Spice Girls and Bruce Willias movies that are begging for a bunch of millenials to discuss. I'm joined by Serra Despair and Costume Whimsy (check out our episode on Demolition Man) to dig through this treasure trove of 90's nostalgia.//

In this episode Evan from Left of the Projector Podcast joins us to discuss the Israeli means to control narrative and manipulate information: hasbara (הסברה). Even if you've never heard of hasbara there is a very good chance it has touched your life. We talk about out own struggle to overcome the fairytale image of Israel, how it has helped conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Judaism, and ways to combat it's grip on friends and family.Major Sources:Freeman, Chas W.

George A Romero is typically considered the father of the modern zombie film. Continuing spooky season, I'm joined by Levi (The Intervention), Red and Cole to discuss what zombies are in this film, how the year of release (1968) is so significant to the film and much more. There are countless articles the group read preparing and so below you'll find a collection of some of those pieces.

*Correction: It took longer than 3 weeks to film this movie*

We throw around “the greatest of all time” a lot, but Alien is considered by some as one of the greatest horror/scifi films ever made. You’ll have to listen to hear what Dr. Real Life Goon and Jolie think and really what the heck is coming out of that dude’s chest…

Stanley Kubrick's vision for The Shining did not win any points from Stephen King, but you cannot deny its greatness. I'm joined by returning guests The Jolly Leftist and Hugo as well as Joe Mayall to discuss the themes, book comparisons and much more.

Bonus crossover content!! I joined The Intervention to discuss a couple of pieces of culture from the New Deal Era.  We start by taking a look at the fascistic Gabriel Over the White House, brought to you by arch-reactionary and media oligarch, William Randolph Hearst.  We then move to the meat of the discussion on a decidedly better piece of culture, The Grapes of Wrath, in its various media manifestations.
