On Left of the Projector we discuss from film from a leftist perspective. Episodes will feature guests who will offer their thoughts on films from a shared interest in class consciousness and personal experience. While everyone can take something different from a movie, LotP will provide discussion and analysis from an anti-capitalist and Marxist point of view.

  3. The Running Man (2025) with Worker's Lit

    The Running Man (2025) with Worker's Lit

    This week Evan and Bill are joined by the folks from the Worker's Lit podcast to talk about the 2025 film "The Running Man," directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, Josh Brolin, and Michael Cera. With a special appearance by Lee Pace. This episode is part two of our collaboration with Worker's Lit covering a book and the movie based on it, in this case the Stephen King novel by the same name. During the episode we discuss how much more capably Wright and Powell portray class consciousness than King, note how the movie improved on the book, and remained loyal to it by having a less than satisfying ending.

  4. Black Panther (2018) & Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    Black Panther (2018) & Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    We are joined this week by author, screen writer, and friend of the show, Briana Cox to talk about Ryan Coogler's endeavors under the banner of the Marvel Cinematic universe: Black Panther 1 and 2. Both movies feature Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, among many others. Looking back we discuss the impact the first film had on the culture, our love/hate relationship with the first film and the failures of the second, how both movies sugar coat the CIA's history of violating the sovereignty of African nations, and one of the most important thing the movies did was open mainstream audiences to the beauty of Afrofuturism.

    The Prestige (2006) with Alexa Speed (Cut Off the Spigot)

    Are you listening closely? Every podcast consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the pledge, and that’s where I tell you that this week on Left of the Projector, we are dipping into the filmography of Christopher Nolan with his 2006 film The Prestige. That’s the ordinary part of this episode. The second act is called the Turn. That’s where I tell you all the amazing actors in this episode from the great David Bowie, to Hugh Jackson, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scartlett Johansson, Rebecca hall and andy serkis. This is where we take the ordinary and tell you we are going to do something extraordinary. We have Alexa Speed as our guest today, whom you may know from her page Cut off the Spigot… And now, though, we have to deliver the 3rd act, the hardest part…the part we call the Prestige… Guest Links Official Cut Off the Spigot Site Cut Off the Spigot on Instagram Left of the Projector Links Official Website Left of the Projector on Instagram Left of the Projector on Patreon Left of the Projector on Threadless Host Links Evan's Letterboxd Bill's Instagram Bill's Letterboxd Ward's Instagram Ward's Letterboxd

  6. THX1138 (1971)

    THX1138 (1971)

    In a time long, long ago. Before Jedi and wookies or misunderstanding of parsecs, a man made a movie that was less of a film and more of a performance art piece. That director was George Lucas and that work was his directorial debut, THX 1138. This week we are joined by friend of the show Amanda Joy Moon to discuss Lucas's first feature film, a profoundly different piece from anything he ever made from that point on. Released in 1971, THX 1138 stars Robert Duvall as the eponymous THX 1138, Donald Pleasence, Don Pedro Colley, Maggie McOmie and Ian Wolfe in a piece filmed more like a documentary than a feature film depicting life in a bleak dystopian world of work, drug induced compliance, outlawed sexual and physical interaction, and the complete absorption of religion by the state and capital. We discuss the metaphorical nature of the film, Amanda offers some incredible book recommendations, and we all condemn Lucas for going back and shoving CGI remakes into this film like he did to Star Wars.

  7. Box Office Drop! 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

    30 ENE

    Box Office Drop! 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

    Evan and Bill discuss the newest entry in the 28 Days Later series, "28 Years Later- The Bone Temple". Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland, the film stars Ralph Fiennes reprising his role as Dr. Ian Kelson and Alfie Williams as Spike, alongside newcomers Chi Lewis-Parry, Jack O'Connel, Erin Kellyman, Emma Laird, Sam Locke, and Mirren Mack among others. Listeners beware because this episode is not free of spoilers, including a bombshell reveal at the last moment of the film. We discuss the evolution of zombie films, how this series is closer to Romero's vision of zombies than many fans give it credit for, and the way in which it reflects some harsh realities we all need to grapple with during these very difficult times.

    Ocean's Eleven (2001) with Seize the Means Shirts

    This week we are joined by friend of the show, Seizethemeansshirts to discuss Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Eleven." With an ensemble cast of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Bernie Mac, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Gould, Carl Reiner, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts (among others), this remake of the Rat Pack's own Ocean's Eleven from 1960 went on to spawn two trilogies and a spin off led by Sandra Bullock. We discuss the creation of wealth, the unity of the proletariat vs the schisms of the capitalists and their fundamental atomization, our guest points out more inconsistencies in the heist than one of us is comfortable with and we still come out unable to decide whether this is the greatest remake of all time or just one of the greatest remakes of all time.
