A Democratic National Convention takes place against a backdrop of protests against American imperial atrocities overseas... that's right, we're travelling back in time to 1968 with Haskell Wexler's MEDIUM COOL (1969). PLUS: So, have you heard about the DNC?

Amazing analysis. I live for those surprises

Tom Patron

Would love to here Will’s take on Scandoval

Several of our patrons begged me to stop talking about Scandoval as it was occurring. Suffice to say, I believe Ariana was the wronged party, obviously, but also that our modern social media landscape punished Tom Sandoval to a degree that is beyond comprehension. Instead of burning Sandoval in effigy, the fans should be grateful he livened up a dead show. -WS

Will! I would really love for you to do an entire podcast series dedicated to reality TV. Doesn't have to be on the Jacobin feed, though I do think it is a legitimate subject for criticism.

'Love Island' sounds like the template for a reality show, rather than an actual reality show. Even the name is a low-effort placeholder.

Thank you for the outro, it transported me back to the early 90s where I was 10 years old and watching the last few programs of the day’s media cycle, seeing this informercial usually meant that my cocoon of escapism was falling away and that the next day of school was around the corner, bringing with it whatever childhood anxieties I was feeling at the time.

Rhode Island mentioned!!

Dustin Koski

They should have just said the the votes for Medium Cool won by taking more voting districts.

The second time this week I lost my faith in democracy! (Jk, only happened once.)

I want to humble myself before the entire Michael and Us nation and apologize for splitting the left vote with my untimely nomination of Blue Collar. While a great film, I now realize that it was Medium Cool’s “turn” in this, the DNC in Chicago season. Truly an act of unforgivable hubris on my part and I hope that I will be able to regain this community’s trust. Luckily, this is not the United States government, and _our_ unaccountable appointed authorities corrected this electoral injustice. I will now call in to Air America and apologize to Al Gore, as Haskell Wexler is no longer with us.

Joking aside, really great episode. I was lucky enough to see Wexler talk about the movie here in Chicago a number of years ago. I think your contrasting of the incisiveness of Medium Cool with what’s currently on offer is right on the money.

Hello fellow travelers. I am currently amongst the lumpen waiting for academic labor. I nevertheless propose a film, friend of the pod Tom Hanks’ 1996 Cold War nostalgia classic “That Thing You Do.” Ttyd is a timeless celebration of white American pop music and youth panic. In spite of the movies’ own apparent intentions, Tom Hanks plays a satanic proxy qua music producer who infiltrates the hearts and minds of young boys, who modestly dreamed of nothing more than fabulous wealth and stardom. Will they make it to the top? Tune in to find out! Love you fellas. Also do an episode on Stalker! Luke it’s also been turned into a cult videogame classic!

You've ruined me, Love Island is fun, "no one is standing behind you , now you're dumped "

Graeme Pente

That My Lai doc captures some incredible stuff, too.
