In this episode of Left of the Projector, I analyze Ken Loach's 2006 film, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, which portrays the harsh realities of the Irish Civil War and its implications on contemporary global struggles. Joined by Jeremy and Justin from Proles Pod, we discuss the film's anti-imperialist narrative and how key dialogues reflect on historical and modern conflicts. We explore character motivations, particularly Damienās inner conflict between personal ambition and revolutionary duty, and draw parallels to current socio-political issues. Our conversation also covers the filmās impacting visual and auditory elements, alongside its depiction of nationalism versus socialism within Ireland. As we reflect on the legacies of colonialism and the quest for justice, I encourage listeners to engage with the film's profound exploration of resistance and the ongoing costs of liberation.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, I explore David Lynch's film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, a prequel that examines the tragic story of Laura Palmer leading up to her death. Joined by filmmaker John Kennedy, we delve into Lynch's unique approach that blends psychological horror with human connection, examining the complex layers of trauma and abuse within Laura's character. Our conversation highlights how this film diverges from the series, revealing darker undertones and intricate symbolism. We analyze pivotal scenes, the impact of character dynamics, and the cultural commentary within the narrative, ultimately celebrating Lynchās artistry in weaving horror, nostalgia, and identity into a compelling exploration of the human condition.

In this episode, we analyze the 1997 sci-fi film Gattaca, directed by Andrew Niccol, alongside Wythe Marshall and Chris Pickett from the "Why We Roll" podcast. We examine the film's portrayal of a future shaped by genetic engineering and social stratification, contrasting 'valids' and 'in-valids' in a society that discriminates based on genetics. Our discussion highlights the film's casting choices and the moral ambivalence surrounding its individualistic narrative, embodied by Vincent's journey to overcome systemic barriers. We also reflect on the film's aesthetic and its critique of reliance on genetics, acknowledging its limitations in addressing classism.

Number 2 on the Best of LotP is a one of the greatest blockbusters of all time. The OG Jurassic Park. They've made many since, but this doesn't have Chris Pratt, so that makes it leagues better.

Ghostbusters is just a silly little comedy about why the EPA is actually the villain. Come hear Ash and Jon from Horror Vanguard podcast say why this is flawed and so much more.

My quick 5 min thoughts on Sinners. Spoiler Free. I should add, I can only share my thoughts here, but not the feelings that Coogler brings as a black film maker in a sea of white in Hollywood.

In this episode, I explore the iconic 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon with guest Jake Flores, delving into its themes of class struggle and socio-economic issues of the 1970s. We analyze Sonny's character, who conducts a bank heist to fund his partner Leon's gender-affirming surgery, and discuss the film's impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
Our conversation examines the media portrayal in the film, particularly the "Attica" scene's relevance to contemporary justice movements. By unpacking the film's climax, we highlight its stark reality within a decaying socio-economic landscape, emphasizing its enduring significance in discussions around identity, resistance, and the intersection of art and politics.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, Iām joined by Smirk and Red to discuss the final two episodes of Season 2 of Severance. We analyze the emotional depth and intricate narrative of the finale, focusing on the character arcs of Mark, Gemma, and the Egan family within Lumen's oppressive corporate culture.
We explore themes of control, moral ambiguity, and the duality of their 'Innie' and 'Outie' selves, while reflecting on the show's dark humor and symbolism. As we wrap up, we speculate on the unresolved themes of exploitation and identity, anticipating how they may evolve in future seasons. Ultimately, Severance challenges us to confront societal compartmentalization and the quest for wholeness.
