Fighting suppression from Joe Brandon’s Ministry of Truth, the boys go berserker to bravely take on the dual enemies of Dark MAGA and reactionary article-slingers who dare ask, “are all films actually fash?”

Post that twitch Fundraiser link, fellas.

McNuggie

Slow news day huh

Antipaganda

First abortion! Wait, I mean last!

Aaron Baer

Supreme Court ... Thanks RBG !!!

nick schultz

2 minutes with a cassowary and Felix would be leaking soda like he was in a Tex Avery cartoon

Gengeros

Reminder Lenin was right.

HeyB00B00

It was a nice run but this is the end for the Minnesota Vikings

Michael

I wonder if Felix would consider the news out of the Supreme Court as a possible breaking point...

Matthew

Fwiw The Girl From Plainville makes text conversations visually compelling

Dante

People really forgot that alt right losers co opted my little pony, it's literally impossible to not make any media that these people don't try to co opt, even stuff made by rival nations like how genshin is fairly pro china and CPC, but reddit tried to make it pro US

Gordon Schmidt

I think your take on the Northman is wrong. Anya Taylor-Joy's character is a mom by the end of the film, or mom-to-be at any rate, and she's great. It's also implied she raises them to be great leaders if I'm remembering right

Michael

Twirling towards freedom.

Michael

The Matrix is also another great and very ironic example.

Juji Gatame

The Birds Aren't Real guys would simply argue that the Shoebill is a CIA battle robot I don't have a problem with those guys, it started as a joke and snowballed, the guy is riding the popularity for a laugh, why not

A RHINO

Liberals always allow the psychos to their right set the narrative

barry

Lmao the Harry Potter musical sounds absolutely insane

Nobody

Fascists co opt things for aesthetics. Whether it be anime, or this movie. There is only one side that is saying movies are grooming and have an agenda, and that's the Right.

barry

Lord of the rings slander, smdh

Samuel Cain

Very racially obsessed though

Antipaganda

Can Matt stop rubbing a balloon next to his mic?

Antipaganda

Felix's dedication to the modern Nosferatu, Barney, is genuinely touching.

dog stone

how can we as a society support a film that seeks to besmirch the good name of uncles

Gary Alexander

My understanding of Viking interactions with the Muslim world is that they sold slaves to Al-Andalus, which had a booming economy and high demand for labor. Article writers should have fun with that one.

James Roche

The contrast between the boys takes on the Northman and 300 leads me to believe that we're just going to consciously ignore the reactionary reading of any sufficiently well made piece of art.

justdave

'Predator' is anti-fasc, prove me wrong

No

Do the drunken antics of the einsatzgruppen and banderite collaborators in Come and See (1985) appeal to right wing narratives? Can movies tell historical tales without unwittingly appealing to toxic ideologies?

William

Not only has the future been dimmed by this neoliberal worldview bullshit we have to suffer through the lamest fucking shit like the meltdown over "disinformation", and pearl clutching around "dark maga". This is actual hell. We died in 2012

Ben Clarkson

The world sort of ended in 2008 and we have been living through the interregnum.

William

No, like, the Mayan calendar didn't just end because it was the end of a cycle or of an age, but because it was the true end of days

Harry P. Ness

I have wanted you to discuss Midsommar for so long I'm so happy.

Mike Miller

turn off your god damned phones! sick of wandering around checking all my devices to see which one pinged because you unprofessional dirtbags! i bet it was matt.

The government "disinformation" agency is stupid because the people who gobble up all the BS on social media do so because they are convinced that the government is lying about everything. But if Marx were alive today, I think he would replace disinformation on social media for religion in his opiate of the masses passage. Like religion, disinformation is highly effective at keeping people from actually demanding improvement in their material conditions. People spend all their time online talking about Qanon, anti-vax, stop the steal, etc. that they are completely oblivious to the fact that they are on the verge of bankruptcy due to medical bills and are still living on the second floor of their house after the first floor flooded due to global warming. The capitalist needs religion and disinformation to keep the working class from rising up and taking power. So, while free speech concerns are important, the progressive response to disinformation cannot be "whatever". Disinformation is highly effective at moving a significant portion of the population away from caring about real issues and joining together to bring about a change in their material conditions.

Of course

Leave her alone, it's Putin's fault.

Aaron L

Not just Hamlet for the Northman (while that is the more obvious/main inspiration) there’s also some Oedipus Rex inspiration for sure.

Alec

Ah is a, ah is a, should I save her? I wanna be saaaaaaved!

James Kellner

That's kind of Matt's point in this episode, no? It's all reactionary to some degree, so why not at least be cool? 300 is deeply uncool, the Northman is cool

etienne

it's a reference to a plot contrivance in the 4th book. Harry had to participate in the Wizard Olympics and his first job was to steal an egg from a dragon. The second job was to open the egg which was a bunch of riddles but he just had to take it into a secluded hot bath and relax with it so i can see why this scene from the book might have awaken something in that lady's life

AbeLinkin

Apocalypto by the great Mel Gibson was a fantastic POC depiction of an ancient culture.

Walking Bones

Don't you find it a little counter intuitive to fight the thorn bush hand to hand? Why get involved fighting all these bits of deluded nonsense and not just cut through it by pressuring people on what actually affects their lives. Disproving this shit is a fools errand, because the people that use it as a defense don't really care if it's factual, they just know it lines up with their worldview. You can only disabuse them of it by giving them a more fitting alternative.

Ben M

Kimi is a great flick about the present

etienne

Bret Deveraux had a solid series of articles about the wokification of the Vikings in the context of Assassin's Creed: Valhallah. Basically according to a cautious reading of the evidence, YES there were foreigners amongst the vikings but mostly people on a business trip and YES there are reasons to believe there have been women warriors and political leaders but like either very rarely or just in the stories

Cameron

Talk shit on lord of the rings one more time you fat sweaty balding nerds

Franklin Shepard Inc.

I always love waking up to Ol Farmer Menaker dumping slop directly into my swine brain pan

calvin kilby

this thread is doing iron man numbers

Dez Martin

The LOTR trilogy is great shut the fuck up

Michael J Butler

The egg thing took place in the goblet of fire, when they figured out you had to put the egg underwater so it would sing you a song.

etienne

how TERFs think sex works

Zarathushtra

They are going to come at you in this thread for being Fasc. Some of the listeners of Chapo are just as Brian poisoned liberal as the guy who wrote the article about the Northman.

etienne

Deveraux is also pretty lib so w/ever. I'll take a L in the greatest most high stakes forum of discussion of our times, the chapo paywall comment section

Chubby Justin

Better singing voice than ben Shapiro's sister

Chubby Justin

Wnat to fuck the ministress of trith

etienne

it's *very* funny to cast ugly dark skinned fucked up creatures as the industrialists and beautiful pure white people as the noble subsistence pastoralists

justdave

An 'indigenous' jungle guerrilla fighter defeats the perfect being by covering himself in mud and setting pit traps, after the backdrop of a cia drug war, fuck avatar, predator is the shit

Ian Priest

Cannot condone this Shoebill slander from the boys. Shoebills are remarkably chill and cordial towards humans and this fearmongering is honestly... kinda cringe.

KatrinaJadeHelm

He had to open the egg while it was underwater because if you opened it normally it screamed. It’s so irritating that this is going to be permanently in my brain I guess

Natalie

Robert Edgars

Jennifer Reft

apparently the chapo boys have not seen the harry potter movies

AKorgar

Haven't seen the Northman but 300 was like a Riefenstahl film, absolutely disgusting. And to be honest the distinct style of the film had its appeal for a little while but then quickly became overindulgent, especially in line with how dyed in the wool fascist the text is. One man's take, anyway.

Bob Duvall

If Will doesn't stop saying Robert Edgars, I'll fly to NY and fuck his mouth

james

Birds Aren’t Real is up there with Dude With Sign

MKatieUltra

Shoutout to The Animatrix!

Julie Baxter

It's like a warning to white peoples, but they never get it.

etienne

the conceit of like half the magical things in HP is that it yells at you. Rowlings is such a great writer. What if a Fabergé egg screamed. What if a turnip yelled. What if a letter spoke very loudly.

Vincent Utah

Anyone who’s still a fan and/or associated with Harry Potter needs to be shipped off and quarantined in the UK for the foreseeable future

Nolan

Cheeseburger in Valhalla 😎.

justdave

If we did live in viking times, Will would be a monk in Lindesfarm

Bleepblopp

I agree Midsommar is anti-boyfriend propaganda but I think Ari does a good job of establishing the rules of that world. In the context of the story he has to die for her to be reborn in this new life. Arson in a bear suit is a tough fate tho. The coroner probably had to customize the paperwork.

Budget Hireling

*FACT CHECK ALERT* *FACT CHECK ALERT* The song that Nina Janckowitz sings in that clip refers to solving the "mystery of the egg". The egg is actually a large golden egg, given to the competitors in the Triwizard Tournament as a clue to help them prepare for the Second Task. The egg is, in this case, an actual egg, not a metaphor for the tactically vaginal perimeter, as Felix postulated. *END OF FACT CHECK* *END OF FACT CHECK*

Philipp K

That Guardian article was the film criticism equivalent of thinking mayonnaise is too spicy.

justdave

Erik the Viking- now thats a fukn movie- EARTHA KITT IS THE SHIT!

David Cox

Zizek says wearing horns was an 19th century invention of Wagnerian opera - the original Vikings never did it. So even Q Shaman has it wrong, if he's trying to evoke that shit.

Ryan

I came here exclusively to see if the Nina Janckowitz Horny Harry Potter link would be in the show description and am sorely disappointed. Google is only showing me a Breitbart link—horseshoe theory in action!

Robert

30 minutes in and this is the dumbest shit movie I’ve ever seen. Lmfao
