escape from New York theme omg 😭 we love some John Carpenter

I think its a bit foolish to take the Nazi subplot in season 2 as a deflection of the US empire when the Show explicitly makes it clear that Homelander and the US public were completely on bored with the Nazi shit until they put the name on it.

You guys have a discord??!😭 shoot the link please🙏

Not sure if you guys realized, First Reformed and the 1985 bio pic about Yukio Mishima were both directed by the same guy.

I wish you two would eventually write a tv show like that🙏

Psychedelics? All our foreign policy is centered around drug, arms, and human trafficking. I think entertaining them stands in the way of a real political movement and so did the Soviets and the Chinese.

Re: Stranger things. Can you name the episode / time index where that happens? I don't remember that at all.

Gore v. Bush was argued by one of the deep statish lawyers that steered Virginia Roberts' original lawyer Brad Edwards into going after targets of no consequences regarding corrupt/disgusting pervs in power linked to Epstein in the US, for example, Les Wexner. It was David Boise, yeah. Him and Stanley Pottinger steered her into dropping Wexner and other American big shots and going after Prince Andrew, who's mommy already stopped caring about due to his "staining" of the UK royals before all this had even started. No wonder, read up on David Boise and Stan Pottinger and how they approached Bradley Edwards Esq. Pottinger might be the most sketch of the 2, ex-civil rights division head attorney at DOJ under Nixon and Ford, Harvard big shot etc. Seems like he and Boise are specialized in putting out fires for the US deep state.

Abby and Robbie catch up on the last few weeks, including Robbie's
special visit to the last Shulgin BBQ before Anne passed away, "The
Boys" show bad and good empire babydom, the killing and political
legacy of Shinzo Abe, the insidious co-optation of the left into
reactionary politics, and the historic shift in Latin America from
countries like Chile and Colombia throwing off their neocolonial
chains.

Abby at RIMPAC War Games: The Inside Story [PREVIEW]

Chances are you’ve seen this storyline play out on either a big or small screen: An FBI agent investigates a prominent labor leader. Or maybe a union boss orders a hit on a recalcitrant member of the rank-and-file. Or perhaps a union president skims money off a pension fund to make an illegal loan.

Plotlines like these derive from one of Hollywood’s longstanding and most favored tropes: the corrupt, mobbed up union, and more specifically, the corrupt union boss. It lends itself to countless stories: The rise and fall of a Mafia-backed labor head, the rebellion of rank-and-file workers against their tyrannical leadership, the precarious union on the verge of implosion. Accordingly, over and over again, we’ve seen stories of labor unions entangled with extortion, bribery, blackmail, theft and murder.

But, even if union bosses can make compelling characters, why is it that they must all be corrupt mafiosi? Why is it that heroism in pop culture is overwhelmingly the domain of police, attorneys and doctors and hardly ever people fighting for labor rights and the collective power of their co-workers and communities? Why, instead of highlighting the courage of labor organizers and the life-changing protections won, must Hollywood repeatedly emphasize only unions’ historical ties to organized crime and a seamy underbelly of corruption, murder and intrigue?

On this show, part one of a two-part episode on labor depictions in Hollywood, we explore organized labor and unions in film and television, how these pop depictions inform broader public sentiment about unions. And next week, we’ll discuss some of the more positive portrayals of labor and unionism in film and television.

Our guest is writer and organizer Ken Margolies.

Abby and Robbie are joined by Mike Prysner for a special two part Media Roots Radio on Alex Jones.

The Sandy Hook trial is explained, as well as Alex’s pathological, malicious lying about the mass shooting.

Alex Jones & the 20-Year-Long Poison Pill to Destroy the Alt Media Ecosystem, Part 1 of 2

Abby & Robbie go over a brief history of British Imperialism and comment on the strange balancing act of 'right populists' like Tucker Carlson emulating the rhetoric of neocon psychopath Robert Kagan by saying the British empire was the 'most humane' empire in human history. In the last third of the podcast they comment on the Mar-a-lago raid, Ukraine and the weaponized deep state tool Robbie likes to refer to as Ron DeCIAntis.

note: the article referenced at the beginning of the podcast 'The Soft Bigotry of 9/11' was fake and both Abby and Robbie thought it was real at the time of recording this podcast.
