×In this episode, I join Chris and Wythe from the Why We Roll Podcast to analyze David Cronenberg's cult classic Videodrome . We explore its themes of technology, media, and the human condition, discussing the film's initial reception and rise to cult status. We examine the character of Max Ren, played by James Woods, and the male gaze's implications on sexuality and power dynamics, as well as the film's philosophical layers surrounding identity. We also consider Cronenberg's body horror elements as metaphors for existential dilemmas, particularly as Max navigates the influence of Videodrome . The conversation draws parallels between the film and contemporary media technologies, questioning whether they enhance or diminish our humanity. We conclude by reflecting on the lasting impact of Videodrome and its relevance in today's media landscape.

In this episode, we take a critical look at the film "Emilia Perez," an endeavor that has stirred significant debate due to its questionable narrative and representation. Joined by Griff and Chris from "Bring Out Your Dead," we dissect the film’s convoluted plot revolving around a Mexican cartel leader's journey of transition amidst the violence of the drug war. We highlight the controversies related to the film’s lack of authentic Mexican representation and the director Jacques Audiard's dismissive approach to Mexican culture. Our conversation unpacks the harmful stereotypes perpetuated by the film, particularly regarding trans women, and critiques its failed attempts at emotional resonance. We express disappointment in the film’s arbitrary musical numbers and underwhelming performances, particularly from Selena Gomez. Ultimately, we urge listeners to rethink their engagement with "Emilia Perez," advocating for cinema that embraces authentic narratives and empowers marginalized voices Bring Out Your Dead: https://www.instagram.com/bringoutyourdeadpod/ https://pod.link/1706697539 https://open.spotify.com/show/3Wsrp6l2a5JlXPJvG5Iwwg?si=3c5d62ed204a42a0 Left of the Projector Links https://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPod https://boxd.it/5T9O1 https://leftoftheprojector.com https://instagram.com/leftoftheprojector http://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpod https://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector…

In this episode, I join Hugo and Priscilla Luna to explore the iconic 1973 horror film The Exorcist , directed by William Friedkin. We dissect its classification as horror, delve into its psychological themes, and reflect on how early exposure to the film shapes perceptions of the genre. We examine the historical context of post-Vietnam America, discussing societal fears surrounding science and religion. The conversation highlights Friedkin's innovative filmmaking techniques and key scenes, particularly Reagan’s possession. We also analyze character arcs, focusing on Father Karras’s internal struggles. We wrap up by recommending both versions of the film to appreciate its layered narrative and significance in cinema.
