Ghost Election: 2020, Defining 'Cancel Culture' & the Death of Movies w/ Jack Allison & Leslie Lee
For the first time both Struggle Session podcast hosts, Jack Allison & Leslie Lee III join Media Roots Radio! Jack, Robbie and Leslie start by discussing the potential death of mega-budget Hollywood films and how Christopher Nolan's Tenet may be the last original property non-sequel $200mil movie ever to be made. Next the discussion veers to the topic of 'cancel culture' and how the term itself needs to be specifically defined and framed differently than in the typical debates most people are currently having about the subject. Concluding the episode Robbie gets Jack and Leslie's thoughts on the 2020 US Presidential election and they discuss how surreal it feels that there is virtually no energy or momentum leading into this race even though it's only 3 months away.
Note: This podcast was recorded the day before Joe Biden announced his Vice Presidential pick.

The Anti-China Pipeline, 'Classical Liberal' Civil War Rhetoric, Cool it with QAnon
Robbie Martin goes solo on this episode of Media Roots Radio to discuss a wide range of issues and stories that slipped through the cracks on earlier episodes, delving into General Flynn's QAnon oath, Freudian projections of 'classical liberals' like Tim Pool who constantly obsess over what they see as an impending civil war, Tucker Carlson's head writer being fired over comments on a web forum and how his program acts as a pipeline for neocon war propaganda about China. Robbie concludes by going over recent escalations between the US and China and why these asymmetrical warfare maneuvers are largely going under the radar.

Robbie Martin's long-awaited QAnon episode of Media Roots Radio is finally here! This episode is in 2-parts, the 2nd part titled 'WWG1WGA Along with a Psyop, QAnon’s Grasp on the ‘Woke’ Empire Baby Mind & Weaponizing Satanic Panic' is now unlocked: https://bit.ly/3xiAWcx
Part 1: The Origins of QAnon, Follow the White Rabbit Into a Deeper Layer of the MAGA cult delves into the chronology of how the Podesta e-mail leaks eventually led to what we now as the anonymous self labeled 'patriot' Qanon. Robbie also delves extensively into what QAnon is and what purpose it might serve and also speculates about who or what groups may be behind it. Figures like Alex Jones, Jerome Corsi, Roger Stone, Erik Prince & Steve Pieczenik are examined as potential participants in the QAnon psyop and the idea of it being connected to Trump's administration is taken seriously as a possibility.
