Left of the Projector episodes

September 26, 2023 Brazil with Chris Wade (Chapo Trap House, And Introducing) and Commie Trucker
This week on the show we discuss a film that was almost never even made, but Terry Gilliam pulled it off and thank god he did. Gilliam created a world that melds together hope, fear, love and much more. I am joined by Chris Wade (producer of Chapo Traphouse) and Commie Trucker (Left Without Borders). //

Kevin Smith created the View Askewniverse for his films and it's quite possible that Dogma is the most polished, insightful and "best" of the bunch. I

September 12, 2023 Men in Black with Andre Swai and CJ (@LoveBroccoli)
The Men in Black: a secret agency of the the Immigration and Naturalization Services (I.N.S.) that is in charge of illegal and legal "aliens" from other galaxies. Their existance is hidden through a flashy red light that allows the agency to mold the story to fit their narrative. Add this all together and you political film showing the dangers of illegal immigrants and how the US uses propaganda surrounding it to fit their narrative.
I'm joined by Andre and CJ to discuss this blockbuster 90's film.

September 05, 2023 Superman (1978) with Collective Action Comics and Legendary Black Lion
Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's three leftists talking about the original Superman movie. Christopher Reeves, for many, is the Superman. This movie built on decades of Superman comics and brought him the man of steel to the big screen. I'm joined by Superman expert Nat (Collectitve Action Comics) and Legendary Black Lion.

August 29, 2023 The Running Man with Dang We Stole This Podcast
This week on LotP I bring you The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger (he's in the movie, not a guest). A perhaps somewhat forgotten film from the 1980's that depicts a dystopian future where people are forced to compete on a TV Game show while being hunted by stalkers. The movie is loosely based on a novel by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and takes some liberties to make it into an Arnold classic.

August 22, 2023 Uncut Gems with Matt Christman (Chapo Trap House) and Commie Trucker
Uncut Gems is a thrilling romp through the mind of Howie (Adam Sandler) and how he manages multiple bets, debts and much more. Take some blood pressure meds and strap in.

August 16, 2023 The Hobbit Trilogy with a bunch of Tolkeinists
Order is back to the shire. For those that had issue with the ep at 1:09:55, it's fixed!
If there ever was any doubt that capitalism has major impacts on movies, this is the ultimate evidence. A wonderful kids book, 250 pagse in length was turned into a trilogy of movies over 8 hours long. There are pointless battles, characters, love triangles and other revisionism.
I'm joined by my LOTR companion, Hungry Rye (who you may remember from the LOTR Trilogy of episodes), Mike (turn leftist podcast) and Nick (Intervention podcast) to discuss.

August 01, 2023 Rollerball (1975 & 2002) with Matt Bors & Ben Clarkson (Justice Warriors Comic, The Nib)
Rollerball is a forgotten classic of the 1970s. The 2002 remake of Rollerball should simply be forgotten. The former is a classic dystopian film that delves into so much more than a made up sport. Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, authors of the comic Justice Warriors join me to discuss both movies and dystopian film.
