Left of the Projector
Evan, Bill, Ward
On Left of the Projector we discuss from film from a leftist perspective. Episodes will feature guests who will offer their thoughts on films from a shared interest in class consciousness and personal experience. While everyone can take something different from a movie, LotP will provide discussion and analysis from an anti-capitalist and Marxist point of view.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
This week we are joined by Mike from the MDX Podcast to discuss the greatest adaptation of the Odyssey ever put to film. Not that bloated 7MM IMAX ego stroking project of Christopher Nolan of course, but the Coen Brothers' 2000 film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". We discuss why this is a truer and closer adaptation of the epic poem, the difference between fantasy and myth, what it means to be a dapper Dan man, and the politics of depression era US.Left of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on LetterboxdLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd
