PREVIEW - National Post Action Movie Month with Big Shiny Takes Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

Adrenochrome. Conrad Black. 300. The fall of the Western male.

During July 2021, the National Post (Canada's conservative paper of record) ran a publication event called Action Movie Month. They attempted to highlight the greatest action films of all time, and in classic fashion, some articles are bland and some are deeply damaging on a psychic level. Eric, Marino, and Jeremy from Big Shiny Takes join me.

Friends of the show Juan and Vic return to discuss cultural figure Lin-Manuel Miranda and the film adaptation of his celebrated 2005 musical In The Heights. Set in the NYC community of Washington Heights, the film follows Usnavi, a small business owner with a dream. How does the film approach questions of identity and capital ownership? What changes have been made and why? Will Dascha Polanco DM me? All this and more answered inside.

PREVIEW - Battle for the Planet of the Apes with @litwall Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

Battle for the Planet of the Apes is a decidedly lighter film in the franchise set in the early years of Ape society. Caesar's community, now co-existing in apartheid with humans, faces conflict on two fronts: the Mutants living in the burnt-out remains of a city, as well as the gorilla leader Aldo's boiling hatred of humanity. How does the film explore these significant issue in a kid-friendly low-budget way? Mitchell (@litwall) joins.

Show notes

This week I'm joined by game developer Tali Faulkner to discuss his game Umurangi Generation: a photography game set during the death of the world thanks to neoliberalism.
One of the best games of 2020, Umurangi is now available on both PC and the Nintendo Switch eShop. Be warned: this is a deep-dive conversation on the political themes and questions explored by the game, so if you don't want to be spoiled, play the game!
You can also check out the sick merch from the game here.
