    Mel Gibson's BRAVEHEART - A Reel Politik Audio Commentary

    PREVIEW: Introduction to CHINATOWN / The New RP Canon

    well, I polled our Twitter followers on which film they wanted us to cover next in our commentary series, and Polanski nation (Poland?) won out decisively, defeating other hot prospects such as Ridley Scott's The Counselor and the enticing "Extreme Prejudice ft. FFF" (the Fuckedman is in tow once again here, and will be joining us as an auxiliary member of the show for at least a majority of our commentaries). join us as we watch a very great film by a very bad man, and talk about important issues such as public ownership of utilities and the Chinese. as is now standard, I'll be posting (almost) the entire intro (plus, on this occasion, the outro) to our free feed [EDIT: this, the thing you are looking at now] as well as a video version of the commentary to this Patreon shortly. we'll be recording something else in the next few days, on which I'll give an update on the status of the podcast and why we've mostly just been doing movie commentaries and shit like that lately. but rest assured that we are deeply committed to building our "New RP Canon" of seminal motion pictures.

    PREVIEW: An Introduction to GRAN TORINO (2008)

    FFF joins me again (not in a numbered episode...because it's just TOO GOOD) for another entry in our ongoing Reel Politik Audio Commentary Series on the movies that made us the foul & debased creatures we are today. This time it's Clint Eastwood's GRAN TORINO (2008), a film about a man and his car, the changing face of the American city, and How Guys Talk To One Another. With a length forty-minute introduction in which we go through pretty much every Clint movie since 2003's MYSTIC RIVER (AKA this free preview) join us as Eastwood novice FFF is introduced to some of the greatest work of a man truly after his own heart.

Farages F****d Face is back for his fourth appearance on RP in 2025, in a sign of our increasing desperation and inability to book big guests. This time it's a two-hander, in which I sit down with him to watch a documentary about Japanese idol culture, which aired as part of the BBC's Storyville series under the name TOKYO GIRLS in 2017. We do live commentary on the whole film, but before that we chat a little about movies and even some politics.

    Episode 323 - David Lynch In Memoriam (ft. Lilah @palebloodstasi)

    Lilah @palebloodstasi (formerly @leechwaifu) returns to the show to pay tribute to the great DAVID LYNCH, the indescribable director, writer, sonic sculptor, visual artist, musician, meditation guru, actor and general polymathic artistic genius, who died a month ago on January 15th. In the classic wide-ranging, structureless RP style, we try our best to dig into every obscure nook and cranny of his deceptively vast body of work. while giving ample time to the stuff everyone likes, like Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive. RIP to one of the greats.

    Episode 322 - Death Camp NIMBY

    With death stalking the land, Jack talks to RP US Correspondent Yair Rice about the start of Donald Trump's second presidential term, his imminent immigration crackdown, the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, and Trump's appointment of Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as "special envoys to Hollywood". Plus, we watch Keir Starmer's message of congratulations to Trump, and look back a decade in Mad Mel's career, to when he benefited from the ludicrous stunt casting of Robert Rodriguez's Machete films.
