El Conde (2023) with Bring Out Your Dead podcast

Left of the Projector ·

2024/01/11

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.

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.

The Dude abides. One of my favorite films and one of the Coen Brothers (writers and directors) least favorite of their films.

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.

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.

Jurassic Park.

Children of Men with Bring Out Your Dead podcast

2023/11/13

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.

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 combat it's grip on friends and family.Major Sources:Freeman, Chas W.
