The 1942 film RAZA is a Spanish propaganda film written by THE Fascist Supreme himself Francisco Franco, showcasing the rise of Spain's Nationalist Movement through the eyes of a single family. RAZA checks all the boxes of fascist propaganda: an obsession with a "noble death" in the name of empire, ahistorical interpretations of rival political movements, and absolute terrible filmmaking. We discussed Franco's forray into film as well as:

• What qualifies as propaganda;
• Recent viewings: THE MONKEY (2025), BLACK BAG (2025), and PINK NARCISSUS (1971);
• Wrestling talk, including John Cena's recent heel turn;
• ICE disappearing protestors;
• Craig's embarassing encounter with Catholicism and its rituals.
