This week we're talking about the proposed cuts and layoffs at West Virginia University, and to do it we've enlisted a damn platoon. 

First we have Dennis Hogan, a postdoctoral fellow at Haverford College, who has an article in The Baffler this week about the WVU situation (link below). Then we have two grad students at WVU, Bethany Winters and Christian Rowe, who are involved in the union (@westvirginiaunited on Instagram, @wvunitedsu on Twitter). Finally we have writer and professor Glenn Taylor (@GlennTaylorBook on Twitter), who teaches in WVU's creative writing department.

#475 - I Just Don't Think About It

Ed Harris is a senator with presidential ambitions. Diane Keaton is the love of his life, but uncomfortable in politics. And with the White House in his grasp, his campaign is about to be rattled by a very, very stupid revelation from her past. We discuss Michael Lindsay-Hogg's RUNNING MATES (1992), a movie that emerged straight from the primordial ooze of the 1992 election cycle.

Episode 321: Double Reverse Cartographic Own

It's that special time of year where you gather around the fire with your loved ones, cozy in with some hot cocoa, and watch your favorite Christmas movie. And while a Chinese move full of propaganda about the time they beat back the US Army at Lake Changjin (The Chosin Resevoir for you America heads) isn't really a Christmas movie, the battle took place about the same time so we're gonna count it.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer when two tanks go head to head and one shoots the other's shell out of the air

The Battle at Lake Changjin (Feat: KD from War_Takes)

This week our old pal Kate Wagner (@mcmansionhell) joins us to discuss the pope, AI-generated content, conspiracy theory-fueled wildfires, the ecstasy we apparently felt at electing Joe Biden, and the latest designs at Neom.
