Left of the Projector

Evan, Bill, Ward

On Left of the Projector we discuss from film from a leftist perspective. Episodes will feature guests who will offer their thoughts on films from a shared interest in class consciousness and personal experience. While everyone can take something different from a movie, LotP will provide discussion and analysis from an anti-capitalist and Marxist point of view.

2023/10/23

We throw around “the greatest of all time” a lot, but Alien is considered by some as one of the greatest horror/scifi films ever made.

Stanley Kubrick's vision for The Shining did not win any points from Stephen King, but you cannot deny its greatness.

BONUS: The Grapes of Wrath with The Intervention

Left of the Projector ·

2023/10/05

Bonus crossover content!! I joined The Intervention to discuss a couple of pieces of culture from the New Deal Era. We start by taking a look at the fascistic Gabriel Over the White House, brought to you by arch-reactionary and media oligarch, William Randolph Hearst. We then move to the meat of the discussion on a decidedly better piece of culture, The Grapes of Wrath, in its various media manifestations.

Is this movie a remake? If so, is it "the greatest remake of all time?"

The Men in Black: a secret agency of the the Immigration and Naturalization Services (I.N.S.) that is in charge of illegal and legal "aliens" from other galaxies. Their existance is hidden through a flashy red light that allows the agency to mold the story to fit their narrative. Add this all together and you political film showing the dangers of illegal immigrants and how the US uses propaganda surrounding it to fit their narrative.

Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's three leftists talking about the original Superman movie. Christopher Reeves, for many, is the Superman. This movie built on decades of Superman comics and brought him the man of steel to the big screen.

The Running Man with Dang We Stole This Podcast

Left of the Projector ·

2023/08/29

This week on LotP I bring you The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger (he's in the movie, not a guest). A perhaps somewhat forgotten film from the 1980's that depicts a dystopian future where people are forced to compete on a TV Game show while being hunted by stalkers. The movie is loosely based on a novel by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and takes some liberties to make it into an Arnold classic.

The Hobbit Trilogy with a bunch of Tolkeinists

2023/08/16

Order is back to the shire. For those that had issue with the ep at 1:09:55, it's fixed! If there ever was any doubt that capitalism has major impacts on movies, this is the ultimate evidence. A wonderful kids book, 250 pagse in length was turned into a trilogy of movies over 8 hours long. There are pointless battles, characters, love triangles and other revisionism.

2023/08/01

Rollerball is a forgotten classic of the 1970s. The 2002 remake of Rollerball should simply be forgotten. The former is a classic dystopian film that delves into so much more than a made up sport. Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, authors of the comic Justice Warriors join me to discuss both movies and dystopian film.

It's July 4th, so this week we bring you a movie the CIA fighting the IRA (or a faction of it). This 90's Tom Clancy classic is one of those movies that was a product of its time. Clancy's character Jack Ryan has spawned countless movies and a TV Show. If you're anything like me...you were rooting for the IRA and against the CIA.

Dune: Part One (2021) w/ Commie Trucker

2023/06/20

Frank Herbert's Dune series has long been considered an impossible series to bring to film. We saw David Lynch try and fail, but in 2021, Denis Villeneuve accomplished the unthinkable. Dune Part One, the first half of the first novel, is a stunning film that really does an excellent job bringing the story to life. I'm joined again by Commie Trucker, co-host of the Left without Borders podcast, to discuss how it does the book justice, the themes embedded in the movie and why it's so
