    Falling Down (1993) with Collective Action Comics and Bx Prol

    If you were making a list of films (I did) that conservatives don't understand, this would be near the top. I am joined again by friends of the show Nat (Collective Action Comics) and Chris (Bx_Prol) to talk through a Michael Douglas movie that is likely his best performance.

    Minority Report (2002)

    Minority Report (2002)

    What if we could stop crime before it happened or prevent crime? Well, we know cops don't do that now. In this Tom Cruise sci-fi film from the post 9/11 era, Minority Report is a cautionary tale...or is it just reality? I'm joined by Al to discuss this classic.

    Remember how good The Matrix was? Well, this isn't as good despite grabbing a lot of the same movie ideas. Even so...there are lots of liberal minded themes to discuss here. I am joined by Dante the Hater who you can find on TikTok and Instagram.

Amazing podcast!

Left of the projector is one of my favorite podcasts. Being a sucker for both film and politics it kinda feels tailor made for my interests. On more than one occasion my jaw has been dropped by the political analysis, putting new spins and perspectives on some of my favorite movies. Evan picks great films, great guests, that mesh well together to produce original insight. Editing is good too, sound quality is high and he uses fun sound effects and ambient BG music when appropriate to enhance the entertainment value. Super enjoyable listen for anyone who enjoys films!

Great leftist movie analysis

Some thinkers say that all movies are inherently reactionary, but this podcast rewatches our favorite movies and analyzes them through a Marxist lens. Great guests and great commentary set this show apart.

Great show, but the background music needs to go

I love the movies they pick and enjoy the discussions, but they play this ambient background music during their discussions that’s annoying and distracting
