No Gods, No Monsters nogodsnomonsters

Since its release in 2006, Children of Men has begun to look less like a work of dystopian fantasy and more like an image of our incoming future. But is this future inevitable, or is that feeling a result of capitalism's stronghold on our collective imagination? This week we dive into the film and some of the book it's based on. We discuss monstrosity, becoming, fascism, art and more.

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?

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 also mention Jack, who is facing charges for alleged sabotage on Cop City in Atlanta. Part of the reason cited for his extremely high bond was owning literature by The Invisible Committee.
You can support him financially or through letter writing at FreeJack.co 
 
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)

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.
