This week we conclude the two episode miniseries we began last week with Dick and Don of Fourth Reich Archaeology. We continue our discussion of Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle and try to make sense of the explosion of violence and fake disclosures that have dominated the first year of the second Trump administration.   All interstitial music provided by the excellent Angleton’s Orchids (Don).   You can gaze into the heart of the Spectacle on Twitter: @fourthreichpod (Twitter and Instagram) @angletonorchids @leftunreadpod (Twitter and Instagram) @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung   You can subscribe to us on Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/LeftUnread   You can reach out to us at [email protected].

The LU Boys are joined this week by Dick and Don of the Fourth Reich Archaeology podcast for part one of a two part series on Guy Debord’s 1967 work The Society of the Spectacle and his 1988 followup Comments on the Society of the Spectacle. We use these works as a lens to decrypt the first year of the Trump 2 administration and the explosion of violence and confusion that has followed in its wake.   All interstitial music provided by the excellent Angleton’s Orchids (Don).   You can unearth the secrets of the Fourth Reich on Twitter: @fourthreichpod @angletonorchids @leftunreadpod (Twitter and Instagram) @poorfidalgo @gluten_yung   You can subscribe to us on Patreon at: www.patreon.com/LeftUnread   You can reach out to us at: [email protected] Suggestions, questions, and hate mail welcome.   Theme music by Interesting Times Gang.

This week we return to Iberia in the late 11th century to see how our old pal Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is handling his second brush with exile from the royal court of Alfonso VI. He learned a lot during his first brush with freelance mercenary work, and this time we'll see him put those skills to work as he attempts to realize his loftier ambitions.

This week we settle in to talk movies; specifically, the 1961 historical epic 'El Cid'. Directed by Anthony Mann, and produced by Franco-collaborator Samuel Bronston, this hard-to-find technicolor classic is a prime example of political propaganda on the big screen. Shot largely on-scene in Spain, with 60's heavy-hitters Charlton Heston and Sofia Loren leading a cast that included hundreds of actual Francoist soldiers on loan as extras, there was plenty to admire and critique in equal measure.
