The ONLY Podcast about Movies

We have an exclusive sneak peek and discussion of Craig Zobel's "The Hunt", one of the Presidents* favorite movies of 2020. Originally slated for release of September 2019, "The Hunt" is revived as we're joined by deplorable decoder Zeeshan Aleem (https://twitter.com/ZeeshanAleem) who helps us decipher the politics of this most dangerous game. *In lieu of emailing us this week, we strongly encourage you to register to vote at https://vote.gov/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As everyone knows, there are three VERY important rules when discussing the Gremlins films: 1) Don't illuminate the dark shadows of 80's capitalism, Amblin entertainment and small town Americana. 2) Don't water down the conversation with our irrational fears of kid-sized monsters. 3) Most importantly, don't feed the myth of Orientalism through some dated stereotypes that would make Edward Said's head spin. Of course it's way more fun to break all of these with our guest the fantastic Jake Young ( twitter.com/BestJakeYoung ) of The Wizard and the Bruiser podcast!!
