Released shortly before the 2004 election, GOING UPRIVER: THE LONG WAR OF JOHN KERRY was both a rebuttal to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and an attempt to position the Democratic Party nominee as a symbol of the Boomer generation. It had, shall we say, a short shelf life. PLUS: we offer fiery hot takes about Canada's most sinister institution, the Munk Debates.

Mere months before the events of May 1968, French New Wave figurehead Jean-Luc Godard captured the lighter side of left-wing student revolutionaries with his classic LA CHINOISE (1967). A few years later, he tried to create a new kind of radical leftist cinema with BRITISH SOUNDS (1970). Will and Luke compare these two landmarks in a great artist's political awakening; grapple with the ultimate failure of his political project; and consider the cultural contexts from which they emerged. PLUS: the hosts share harrowing stories of living in the crumbling city of Toronto!

Television, dancing, drive-in movies... it all leads to sex, and sex leads to the Communist takeover. Director Ron Ormond (a prolific exploitation filmmaker turned Born Again Christian) teamed up with fire-and-brimstone southern preacher Estus Pirkle to create IF FOOTMEN TIRE YOU, WHAT WILL HORSES DO? (1971), an unforgettable Christian anti-Communist propaganda film. We explore how it anticipates the current right-wing panic over "postmodern neomarxism."
