Episode 95: Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)

What happens when a Godzilla cell falls into a black hole, merges with an organic crystal, and then absorbs the energy of an exploding star? You guessed it: Purple Godzilla. We scour through the wreckage of this special effects powerhouse to find a struggle between overt force and coercive control, an exploration of the queerness hidden beneath the surface of male conflict, and an image of the Oedipal complex as a force detached from human culture. We have bonus episodes, behind the scenes notes, and post-recording wrap ups for just $1 a month on Patreon.

Episode 94: Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971)

Who decides what is real, and what other powers does that give them? We discuss mental health and how it's treated in the modern world, contradictions as an engine of change, the death of the '60s counterculture, and how the film's unique soundtrack highlights its messages. We have bonus episodes, behind the scenes notes, and post-recording wrap ups for just $1 a month on Patreon.

[Unlocked] Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Charlie and Barto are on their own again, this time taking a long and hard look at the least erotic movie ever made about beautiful naked people. We talk dreams, fantasies, the Real, the unconscious, the commodification of sex, Bohemian Grove, and so much more on this deep dive into the misunderstood Kubrick classic. We're releasing this bonus to all listeners in lieu of our regular episode but if you want more bonus episodes as well as lots of other bonus content, sign up for our Patreon.

[Preview] Medium Cool (1969)

The Democratic National Convention is coming back to Chicago so we thought it was worth examining a primary source of the events of the 1968 DNC to see where we stand. Part fictional narrative, part documentary, all incredibly meta, Medium Cool looks at filmmaking and journalism as a medium and explores the ethics of the thing. This is the first episode we've done without Rabbit's guiding hand and to keep us on track, but the conversation lends itself to the seemingly aimless filmmaking on display.

[Preview] No Gods, No Authors: "To Our Friends" by The Invisible Committee, Part 3

Rabbit and Barto are back on their bullshit, talking chapters 4 through 6 of The Invisible Committee's "To Our Friends." We go back to the campus protests for Palestine, connecting the local to the global, the commune, building power and so much more. We tie the text to our experiences and the situation as it exists today. 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 also extremely relevant to the present moment) To listen to the full episode as well as lots of other bonus content, sign up for our Patreon.

Episode 93: The Descent (2005)

We dive [wink] into this claustrophobic horror film, discussing the cave as a cave, the cave as the unconscious, the cave as a womb, the cave as penises (obviously), and the cave as a soundstage. Plus monster theories, lighting effects, character morality, and connections to the sequel (spoilers for The Descent Part 2 btw!)

[PREVIEW] Neon Genesis Evangelion: Episodes 2 & 3

We continue our journey through Evangelion. Friedrich Nietzsche makes an appearance along with your regular helpings of Lacan and Freud. We also talk Beauty and the Beast, climate change, and what happened to Tokyo 2. To listen to the full episode as well as lots of other bonus content, sign up for our Patreon.

Episode 92: Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II (1993)

What is a butt brain, and do we all have on? Which G-Crusher is right for you? We get deep talking about this seemingly surface-level Heisei film. Touching on imitation and mimicry, the melodies plants make, human technology capturing nature just to turn it on itself, and of course, the psychosexual journey of a giant lizard castrated by human hubris. We have bonus episodes, behind the scenes notes, and post-recording wrap ups for just $1 a month on Patreon.
