Copaganda!

Copaganda! is a comedy podcast where we rewatch cop movies to learn about policing. Each episode I rewatch a classic cop film with a comedian friend and ask what makes the ideal cop? We break down what’s happening in the movie, what’s happening in policing when the film was being made and our own relationship to police and cop movies. Did you know Dirty Harry inspired something called a “Make My Day” law, a precursor to today’s “Stand Your Ground” laws? Did you know when Miranda rights were introduced the cops lamented they’d never be able to solve a crime again? Does watching the chief yell “you’re a loose cannon!” over and over again make us think cops are best when they’re unregulated? We get into all this and more in Copaganda!

    Dragged Across Concrete With Jeff Solomon

    The amazing Jeff Solomon, actor, writer, extraordinaire and dear friend, comes on to talk about a real puzzle of a movie: Dragged Across Concrete. This 2018 S Craig Zahler film... we just don't know what to make of it! A compelling Mamet-esque crime film? A racist vehicle for Mel Gibson? Some looney tunes style violence passed off as realistic? Unclear! But it did get us talking! Tangents include shoplifting, being a good kid, and discussions of when film is commentating on something versus when a film is simply repeating racist tropes.
