Popcorn Eschaton is a podcast in which two spiritual seekers attempt to enlighten themselves through film. Hosts Scott Thorough and John Arminio discuss movies dealing with spiritual subjects and themes, while also focusing on anti-colonial and leftist political topics. Music, philosophy, friendship, and what gives life meaning are all fair game. WE LOVE ART, BABY!

On the first episode of Popcorn Eschaton, Scott and John tackle a pair of Jesus Movies: Martin Scorsese's 'The Last Temptation of Christ' and Abel Ferrara's 'Mary.' Topics include what makes Scorsese's film so different from other movies on the life of Christ, why that makes it so meaningful, and how Ferrara's 'Mary' provides a "through a glass darkly" vision of attempting to make spiritual art in a mass media marketplace.

PINNLAND EMPIRE: A CHAT WITH NINA MENKES

The Pink Smoke is coming in from the cold to debrief our listeners on 100 years worth of espionage thrillers. Starting in the 1920's, we chose one notable spy movie (as well as a few alternate picks) for each decade leading to our present day in order to decode how they reflect the history and pop culture of their respective epoch. From the years leading to World War II through the Cold War and up to the modern age of counterintelligence in the time of domestic terrorism and the internet, we recruited agents John Arminio (co-host of Popcorn Eschaton!) and Bill Scurry (co-host of I Don't Get It) to analyze these cloak-and-dagger tales and what they have to say about the excitement and morality of the spy profession.

In Part One, we cover the 1920's through the 1970's which includes one epic silent masterpiece, various adventures set behind enemy lines during the war of nations, intimate stories of British citizens who exploit governments for personal gain, human dramas about moral degradation behind the Iron Curtain and post-Watergate paranoid thrillers.

Long Way To Now (Theme to the Talking Sopranos podcast)

Alarm bells rang in The Hague this week as a judge struck out the coronavirus curfew, prompting a mad scramble to get a new version through parliament. There was also a mad scramble across the country to find old skates as the coldest temperatures for eight years turned the Netherlands into a winter wonderland. Scientists call on people to send in their dead mosquitos and PVV MP Dion Graus faces more allegations of domestic abuse. And as election day approaches, we speak to polling specialist Tom Louwerse about the way opinion polls reflect and shape the political landscape.
