We discuss Ken Loach's brilliant war epic The Wind That Shakes The Barley in an unintentionally relevant episode. Plus: Jackson takes a pop quiz.

Cody joins us again to talk Spaghetti Westerns and the ways they channel both Italian and US politics of the 1960s and 70s.

In part 1 of our miniseries on Westerns we discuss a trio of movies with varying degrees of Hollywood Blacklist connections with our friend and first guest, Cody Severtson.

We discuss Jay Roach's Trumbo (2015), a pretty ok biopic about blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. We also talk about a few much shittier movies about the blacklist, including The Front (1976), Guilty by Suspicion (1991), and Good Night and Good Luck (2005).

We talk Gerard Johnstone's delightful horror-comedy M3GAN as well as Ex Machina, Black Mirror, and Blade Runner in a jumbo-sized ep about how much AI sucks.

We do things a little different this time by discussing our philosophy towards film criticism and film more broadly. We also discuss the importance (or unimportance) of the artist's intent, how much we weigh the ideology of the film, and whether or not attempting to review films objectively is even possible.

In Episode 11, we discuss John Sayles' brilliant Matewan (1987), which dramatizes the events leading up to a violent skirmish between striking miners and the Baldwin-Felts detective agency in 1920s West Virginia. This one was already long enough so no theme music this time.

In this episode, Jackson and Tyler discuss "Barry", the godawful 2016 Barack Obama biopic chronicling the former president's first year at Columbia University.

Jackson and Tyler discuss the Knives Out cinematic universe, the difficulties of parodying Elon Musk, and contrast Glass Onion's attempts to satirize tech bros with Gerard Johnstone's M3GAN (2022).
