No Gods, No Monsters

We have back returning guest, author, filmmaker, and Goji-twitter shit-stirrer Liam Quane.

In episode 83, Liam made some bold predictions about how Godzilla x Kong would play out using his theory of "Mask Off Cinema,"  a movement informed by the political motivations of filmmakers during the Trump Era, of which we are still a part.

Is Godzilla x Kong just a project to get Democrats elected? What did Liam glean in advace about the film just from looking at the colors of the characters? What will the next Monsterverse movie look like?

Where to follow Liam:

Some places to find Liam’s book, Road to Juneau:

We travel back to the Middle Ages, to a time when everyone felt like the world was ending, to discuss ideas wholly alien to us in today's political landscape: nihilism, existentialism, fundamentalism, and the nature of knowledge and belief. Will we self-flagellate and preach from the seat of judgement, or joyously mock death for our listener's enjoyment?

Rabbit and Barto are back talking chapters 4 and 5 of The Invisible Committee's "To Our Friends."

Along the way we cover cybernetics, bridging the dichotomy between pacifism and "radicalism," not thinking like an insurrectionist and not becoming the anarchist the state wants you to be, tact, and the book's relevancy to the ongoing encampments and the situation on the ground in Gaza.

We are going way back to the warm embrace of Ishirō Honda with the special-effects, alien invasion spectacular, The Mysterians. We discuss colonialism, misogyny, and find more than a few parallels to a contemporary struggle.

We're trying something a little new.

Rabbit and Barto talk flows, blockage, smashing and building power as described in the post-marxist, anarchist book, To Our Friends by The Invisible Committee. We cover some Agamben, Lacan, Deleuze, and Nietzsche. We consider Occupy, January 6th, Food Not Bombs and (the at the time we recorded, very new) occupation movement happening on college campuses protesting the genocide in Gaza.

In part 1 we cover the introduction through chapter 3.

You don't have to have any familiarity with the text to follow the conversation, but the book is available in PDF form on libcom.org so you can read along (we really like the text so obviously we'd encourage you to read it! It's extremely relevant to the present moment)

The full episode is available to patrons for as little as $1 a month alongside other bonus episodes, behind the scenes notes, and post-recording wrap ups.

The episode that will make your head explode*! We talk control and power; hippies and authoritarians; state and corporate co-opting of mental illness, drug use, and art; and of course, synth and noise music. We're strapped in, so take a seat and watch us squirm, for science.

*guaranteed

A new Godzilla and Kong movie has arrived!! Is it the perfect dumb-fun popcorn flick or a masterpiece of anti-art? A kaiju-centric depiction of a utopian future where man and nature find a balance or an irredeemable corporate tool built to distract from and further condition us to the ongoing slaughter of all that is worth fighting for? And how do those crystals control gravity?

We reference Walter Chaw's review of the film and it's worth reading in full:

We discuss what is essentially a two and a half hour commercial for America, which clunkily yet elegantly entwines support for war, freedom through American-made commodities, the psychosexual exploration of a man and his car, and over the top misogyny.
