Glad to know Will has been inducted into the cult of Bubly

There is an homage to HIGH SCHOOL in Fern Silva's essay film ROCK BOTTOM RISER- I heard Silva lie about it at a q&a (saying that the scene was observation and not staged recreation)- Fred Wiseman heads will be amused. HIGH SCHOOL was so early, Wiseman had not really refined his style yet. I wouldn't attribute to him a "progressive spirit," rather he is a classic liberal, which in the late 1960s/early 70s meant opposing the war and Nixon and etc. Since then, his films have become less pointedly critical and more humanistic. Wiseman calls his style "documentary fiction," to distinguish it from the direct cinema of like DA Pennebaker ("cinema verite" which takes its name from Vertov's "kino pravda," involves manipulations of reality that most American documentaries until recently eschewed). I think Wiseman recognized his early style's shortcomings, which is why he made HIGH SCHOOL II from 1994, which is a less cynical and deeper film. HOSPITAL was the first film when he really hit is stylistic stride. By my reckoning, WELFARE and BELFAST MAINE are his best

I would recommend anyone who is interested in these topics read Postscript on the Societies of Control by Deleuze. Don’t worry - this is one of his more grounded essays. Unlike in 1968, more and more of our servitude appears to us as willful individual expression. We are now neoliberal subjects

I loved A Few Good Men when it first came out. I was a young teenager and some of it went over my head, but it was the right film for me at the time. I wonder if it still holds up. I’d like Michael and Us to cover it. I still think Side by Side would be a much better endeavor, but I would enjoy their take on A Few Good Men I do think.

Conceptually the idea of a Spinal Tap 2 sequel is one rich with comedic potential - I think that if anything they could be even funnier the older, more washed-up, and more out-of-touch they are. Take anything Dave Mustaine has said in the last 20 years, change it 5% or so, and you're cooking. Sadly it's hard to imagine the creatives involved with it (Reiner et al.) having enough venom or bite to make it land

A lot of people talk about facebook and Cambridge analytica. I think the greater travesty is facebooks role in the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebook-genocide.html Julius Streicher was executed at Nuremberg for inciting genocide by publishing Der Stürmer. Zuck innovated his way to an even more banal evil: profit from being the publicist of racist incitement, without having to do any of the racist incitement yourself. Just ignore the many well-documented calls from inside Myanmar to do something about the militarys push of genocidal content at the time when Facebook was synonymous with the Internet in Myanmar. Cash the genocide bucks and maintain plausible deniability. So smart! So disruptive!

After last week's unacceptable error on Luke's part regarding the expanded American Pie Presents universe, I was delighted to hear him present such accurate knowledge of the appearance of Semi-Charmes Life in the American Pie soundtrack . Keep up the good work!

You two can handle the truth...yes podcasts are for The People; down with celebrity podcasts.

They were having a showing of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at my theater, which I was on the fence about attending. Listening to this episode's discussion of arbitrary authority put me in the mood for it, and I really enjoyed it 👍

That poor girl was being called fat and stupid at school and her family wonders why she didn't want to sign up for more of the same in college. Then again, it's kinda stupid not to go to college when it's that freaking cheap in the 60's
