Critical Wade Theory

I"ll talk about everything from politics to entertainment and philosophy. I"m also a part-time entertainment writer and working-class from the UP of Michigan, so that might come up occasionally. Oh, and I make weird experimental music and sometimes host a college radio show.

This episode's content: On Facebook, Mr. K made a long, long list of things he considers waste, fraud, and abuse, in defense of Elon Musk's plainly illegal so-called "DOGE" purge of both domestic and foreign-aid related government programs.

Today, we’re talking about a lesser-known Frankenstein film—one that might just be more interesting than you think. It’s 1958’s Frankenstein 1970, starring the legendary Boris Karloff. Despite its futuristic-sounding title, this movie isn’t quite the sci-fi spectacle you might expect. Instead, it’s a self-aware, meta-commentary on the Frankenstein legacy itself. And if that sounds ahead of its time—well, it kind of was! So, let’s dig in.

Today, we’re breaking down I Am Legend (2007), a post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. This film, based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel of the same name, takes significant creative liberties, turning what was originally a vampire story into a tale of survival against mutated, light-sensitive creatures. Let’s get into it.

Many political groups and organizations strive to balance progressive ideals with foundational civil liberties. A prime example is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). While often associated with progressive causes, the ACLU is deeply committed to protecting due process, free speech, and the right to a fair trial.
