    Vigilante Wish w/ Yeerk.P

    Host of the Bistro Californium podcast Yeerk.P sits down with me to discuss Michael Winner's 1973 exploitation film Death Wish starring Charles Bronson and the similarly themed 2026 film Citizen Vigilante directed by Uwe Boll and starring Armie Hammer. We compare the films, the contemporary political and cultural context of each, and touch on other entries in the vigilante film genre. We also spend time talking about current political controversies in the UK, especially the release of Rupert Lowe's report on grooming gangs, the murder of Henry Nowak, and the assassination of Ann Widdecombe.

    Four Neo-Pagan Movies w/ Gunton Blurpus

    In which we discuss The Wicker Man (1973), the remake of the Wicker Man (2006), The Wicker Tree (2011) and Midsommar (2019). I haven't checked but I think we're the first ones to do a pod about all these movies at once and connect what I think are their obviously related themes like gender roles, the relationship between neo-paganism and modern Christianity, and the tension between a dominant society's obligation to respect secluded cultures and their obligation to assert their own values.

    Apocalypto w/ JJ Alejandro

    JJ Alejandro joins Thomas and Rory to discuss Mel Gibson's masterpiece Apocalytpo and the way the political discourse surrounding the film reduces its big-picture themes. But first we start off with a rant from Rory about a frustrating experience he had on the CTA on his homebound commute that day.
