  • 70. Oliver Stone’s Nixon feat. Patrick and Ian

    This week, we sat down once again with Left Unread Extended Universe guests Ian Miller and Patrick to discuss an Oliver Stone flick - this time it was 1995's Nixon, Stone's second film about how the #CIAkilledJFK. As usual, we use the film to look more broadly at the covert operations carried out by the American deep state and the Nixon resignation's relationship to the Kennedy assassination.

  • 63. The Fall of the Aztecs III: A Meeting of Worlds

    This week, in a King Sized XXL Doublewide episode, we wrap up our trilogy of episodes concerning the destruction of the Mesoamerican Aztec Empire at the hands of Hernán Cortés and his cobbled-together conquistador ‘army’. We also discover that our trilogy will actually be… a quadrilogy, and the joke is on all of us, because it's not wrapped up at all. Gotcha.
