In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along

The PG crew speaks with author Malcolm Harris (@BigMeanInternet) about his new book, What’s Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis.

The Day Before Charlie Kirk Got Murked

Let's get this out of the way: we recorded this episode the day before Charlie Kirk got smoked by an assassin who is, as of this writing, still at large.
