Name: 482 - War is Over, Troops are Staying (12/21/20) by Chapo Trap House
Duration: 1 h 22 min 11 s
Description: We all take our vaccine suppositories, discuss the stimulus, and talk Obama’s year-end TV list. But, most importantly, the Reading Series is back! We take a look at a recent New York Times op-ed that uses the Iliad to ask you to gently close your eyes and forget about all these pesky forever wars we seem to be embroiled in.

He must have suffered a horrible brain injury on duty. Poor guy

this is the plot of Dick's Long Days of Perky Pat

Maybe the difference is truly transformative art addresses the fundamental issues, not subsidiary issues. Disney World will be under the Atlantic ocean soon that’s a fact. 

The Congress for Cultural Freedom pushed abstract expressionism and "art for art's sake" to destroy social realism, which they thought was threatening. The only movie blacklisted in the US afiak is "Salt of the Earth," about a strike 

Chapo:  You are the art.  It changed and you were born in the change.  You are art.

Didnt you guys freak out when Paul Ryan said he loved Rage Against the Machine?

Will musta listened to that Adam McKay episode of Chapos Traphose !! LOl haha

I actually don't think anyone cares about the troups in germany

We just noticed it happens to be a midterms year, so your favorite presidential podcasting duo of Chris and Matt have teamed back up to relaunch our beltway insider series. We’re joined by campaign reporter extraordinaire Dave Weigel to break down the key races to watch, track the trends to follow, and generally put drills to our temples as we attempt to once again engage in American Electoral Politics.

620 - Beltway Phoenix at the Midterms of Madness feat. Dave Weigel (4/18/22)

I know this is not of interest to everybody, which is why I've made it a separate bonus episode you can skip. But if you are extremely online like many of us are, you may have seen the spate of articles about Sean McElwee, his departure from Data for Progress, and allegations about participating in illegal straw donor conspiracies. Carl Beijer is one of the great Sean chroniclers and so I've brought him on to fill in all the details.

BONUS: Carl Beijer on Sean McElwee

Hello Damned Fam, we're behind an ep because of Jake's landlord trying to kill him with a giant rat he made in a lab etc, so we've decided to release an ep or two from behind our paywall. Here's a great interview we did that should probably have been released publicly anyways. ENJOY

Author and activist Jarrod Shanahan comes on the show to discuss his books Captives and States of Incarceration. Be sure to send your feedback to Jake Flores@twitter.com

470 - Mothership Connection feat. Derek Davison & Daniel Bessner (11/9/20)

After last week’s Cameron discussion we decided it was finally time to induct this film into the official Chapo Canon: it’s been a long time coming but here’s the AVATAR episode. Join us as we examine the most anti-imperialist blockbuster of the 21st century, argue that its subversiveness is precisely why this massive hit “made no cultural impact,” and explain how Avatar teaches us to shed our baby selves as we confront America’s role as the 9/11 do-er.
