This episode was scheduled a bit further out, but it felt fitting with the passing of legend Carl Weathers to get it out there. Predator is one of the great action films of all time and paired with Predator 2, you really get a lot of the political through lines. I'm joined by returning guest Joe Mayall and Keith.

This week on Left of the Projector, we delve into the world of Soviet cinema. The first installment of a new series on Andrei Tarkovsky is Solaris. This film is a journey inward, a exploration of self. I am excited to have Breht O'Shea, of Revolutionary Left (RevLeft) Radio and back on the show, Amanda Joy Moon.

The MCU has come to Left of the Projector...the choice? The military industrial complex's beloved Iron Man 2. The US DoD had a heavy hand in this film, and Elon Musk had a cameo (seriously). I'm joined by Prez from The Minyand Podcast.

Can one really get enough Coen Bros films? Coming off a recent drop of The Big Lebowski , we are back again with Miller's Crossing . There is was so much to discuss with my guest Stephanie Edd , writer and content creator, who recently release a new book The Clear Case.

We're back with Evan of Left of the Projector for the third (maybe second?) entry in the History in Film series. This time it's 1960's Zionist epic, Exodus . Based on the novel of the same name by Leon Uris, this film aimed to convince American Jewry to consider the State of Israel (at this point, only twelve years old) as a nation deserving their investment, sympathy, and loyalty. Som...

This week, we're bring back the 90's nostalgia and discussing if Wayne is cringe or simply misunderstood. I'm joined by Ward and Joy, Caitlyn and Cullen and Mike. So that's some Turn Leftist and Caitlyne's Conspiracy Corner podcasters ready to party on.

What if Pinochet was a Vampire? Well, that is what Pablo Larraín's El Conde seeks to find out. The film takes us through Pinochet's descent into the man we know from history, but was it successful. I'm joined again by Griff and Chris from Bring Out Your Dead podcast. They bring their historical takes on Latin America to dig into the depths of this film. Bring Out Your Dead: ⁠⁠Instagram...

Do not adjust your podcast app...we are in fact discussing Twilight on the show this week. I contend, from a search of the internet (all of it), that this is the first ever leftist take on Twilight. Stay tuned for a future episode on all the remaining movies in one go. I'm joined by Nathan Shuherk (@schizophrenicreads) who is the host of Schizophrenic Reads podcast. Nathan loves non-fiction bo...

The Dude abides. One of my favorite films and one of the Coen Brothers (writers and directors) least favorite of their films. We will discuss why that might be, iconic scenes, the characters from a Marxist perspective and much more. My guests are Bill and Ward ( Millenial Leftist ).

Clark Griswold. What is there to say about a man who makes chemical additives for your kids cereal and is too stupid to know how to use a staple gun. This is the 3rd in the Vacation series, and perhaps some of it holds up...you'll just have to listen to returning guests, Libby and Smirk Gently have to say about it....

For Animated Insect Week™ I bring you a rebroadcast of episode 14 of A Bug's Life. This is a throwback to a very early episode from August 2022. This is a companion to Antz. Kevin Spacey still sucks.

This week on Left of the Projector, we bring you a double feature of "Revolutionary" animated films about insects. First up, Antz, a brand new episode with SmirkGently, Destiny and . This has been a long time request and while the movie falls short it's its revolutionary spirit, we get into a discussion of labor and more.   Alex: ⁠Instagram⁠ // ⁠TikTok ⁠ // ⁠LinkTree⁠ SmirkGently: ⁠I...

This week, we revisit the second greatest trilogy (LOTR still the GOAT), in part 1 of Back to the Future. I'm joined by Caitlyn and Cullen from Caitlyn's Conspiracy Corner podcast.

What would the holiday season be without a movie about Santa. In this case, however, we bring you Fatman, a film starting Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins. It's really something else and the writers/directors are quite an interesting pair. We also dive into military propaganda in film and how tight they are in Hollywood.

What do you get when you have two comic book podcast hosts together for one Batman movie discussion? I don't know, you'll have to find out. This week we discuss the Christmas film Batman Returns.

Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure exploitation... Willy Wonka is the perfect personification of Elon Musk. Elon Musk was born 2 days after the release of this film, but if you listen along with Smirk Gently and Hungry Rye, you'll understand why.

We embark on a new series of deep dives into historically important films. The first in this series is Citizen Kane. Often dubbed "the greatest film ever made," I am joined by Levi and Justin to discuss Orson Welles, the making of Citizen Kane and its historical significance.

A classic Arnold film we recorded way back on 9/11 (you'll understand after you listen). I'm joined by Grant and Libby.

Jurassic Park. What is there to really say about this movie other than it's what happens when a capitalist uses technology for evil instead of good and then is shocked when the results are not what he'd hoped.

Children of Men has become more relevant and prescient with every year since it came out in 2006. When we recorded this on October 19, 2023, it was stunning how you could see comparisons of the immigration facilities to Gaza. This movie is a glimmer of hope...perhaps the hope that all those who are opressed need to one day be free. Bring Out Your Dead: Instagram // Subscribe // Spotify Left of the...

One of the most important films and potent satires you'll ever watch. Dr. Strangelove is just as relevant today. Hear Steve from The Intervention podcast and Pete discuss why...

The 1990's were wild. Boy bands, the Spice Girls and Bruce Willias movies that are begging for a bunch of millenials to discuss. I'm joined by Serra Despair and Costume Whimsy (check out our episode on Demolition Man) to dig through this treasure trove of 90's nostalgia.// Left of the Projector Links: // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Stream Links ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Sto...

In this episode Evan from Left of the Projector Podcast joins us to discuss the Israeli means to control narrative and manipulate information: hasbara (הסברה). Even if you've never heard of hasbara there is a very good chance it has touched your life. We talk about out own struggle to overcome the fairytale image of Israel, how it has helped conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Judaism, and ways to...
