This movie did not age as well as Fred Ward did.
RIP to a GOAT.
"Beginning in May 1968, a period of civil unrest occurred throughout France, lasting some seven weeks and punctuated by demonstrations, general strikes, as well as the occupation of universities and factories. At the height of events, which have since become known as May 68, the economy of France came to a halt. The protests reached such a point that political leaders feared civil war or revolution; the national government briefly ceased to function after President Charles de Gaulle secretly fled France to West Germany at one point. The protests are sometimes linked to similar movements that occurred around the same time worldwide and inspired a generation of protest art in the form of songs, imaginative graffiti, posters, and slogans.
"The unrest began with a series of far-left student occupation protests against capitalism, consumerism, American imperialism and traditional institutions. Heavy police repression of the protesters led France's trade union confederations to call for sympathy strikes, which spread far more quickly than expected to involve 11 million workers, more than 22% of the total population of France at the time. The movement was characterized by spontaneous and decentralized wildcat disposition; this created a contrast and at times even conflict internally amongst the trade unions and the parties of the left. It was the largest general strike ever attempted in France, and the first nationwide wildcat general strike."
We must destroy all Roombas before we have to worry about their rights.

If you're too cool for Model U.N., too cool for the Boy Scouts, and too cool for dinner, you've come to the right place.
We learn about fatherhood, environmental collapse, and what it means to raise an ugly child at the end of the world.
We discuss this scathing critique of civilization and learn why Kongs should be wild and free, swimming from island to island rocking dinos.
We talk about Silvia Federici's book Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body, and Primitive Accumulation and use the text to gain a new perspective on the 2015 film The Witch.

When a heartless corporation plans to displace villagers to make room for a new freeway, we all know who the villain is, right? Right?? Right?!?!
