  1. 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.

    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.

    Box Office Drop! Marty Supreme (2025) with HungryRye

    This week on the show, we are hot off the presses with Marty Supreme with friend of the show Mariah (Hungry Rye). We discuss the myth of meritocracy and the hollowness of the self made man. There is a lot of meat in this film and the Josh Safdie delivers a masterful script and has you locked in for 2.5 hours despite the film being about table tennis. The film serves as satire but wilil be misunderstoof by dude bros and self proclaimed alpha males. We disect these contradictions and much more!

  6. The Battle of Algiers (1966)

    The Battle of Algiers (1966)

    This week we discuss one of the most important revolutionary films ever produced, "The Battle of Algiers." Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and staring Jean Martin, Saadi Yacef, Brahim Hadjadj and Tommaso Neri, the film was released in 1966 and portrays the actions undertaken by rebels during the Algerian War against the French occupation of Algeria. Released only four years after the Algerian War and the successful revolution and independence of Algeria from the French, and less than a decade after the events of the film itself, "The Battle of Algiers" was shot on location and is cast almost entirely with members of the Algerian community who were participants in the revolution or lived through it. We discuss the impact the film had on society at large, the way in which it starkly portrays the violence of revolution while perfectly capturing the inherent humanity of those of us who want to bring about a better future for all even though we must use the tools of violence to do so. To discuss the film we are joined by Aaron, a good friend of one of our hosts, an activist, an organizer, and a man with more to say about this film than we could ever fit into a single episode.

    Oldboy (2003)

    This week we discuss the perfect film for everyone with a "World's Greatest Dad" mug tucked away in a cabinet, "Oldboy." The original from South Korea, not the US remake. Released in 2003, "Oldboy" was directed by Park Chan-wook and stars Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-tae and Kang Hye-jung. Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, and is considered a classic of modern South Korean Cinema. A masterpiece of revenge, the film tells the story of Oh Dae-su and his search for answers and justice following his imprisonment of 15 years in a mysterious private prison. We discuss what the film has to say about loss of community, the carceral system, and how capitalism creates a society that functions as a prison as surely as a cell door and barbed wire does.

    Box Office Drop! Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)

    We discuss the newest Knives Out mystery in a new Home Box Office Drop! Directed, and written by Rian Johnson, the newest entry in the Knives Out franchise of course features Daniel Crain returning as Benoit Blanc, alongside Josh O'Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Cailey Spaeny, Thomas Hayden Church, Daryl McCormack, Jeremy Renner, and Mila Kunis. In this episode we talk about Marx's theory on alienation under capitalism (a favorite topic of late), the marriage between the western Christian church and capitalism, the slow burn that is Knives Out, and how Benoit Blanc falls outside of the police and capital partnership and is thus excluded from the fact that ALL cops are in fact bastards.
