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.

Eyes Wide Shut (1998) with Jonathan Kennedy
Evan and Jonathan Kennedy dive deep into Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece, Eyes Wide Shut. They unravel the film's surreal and controversial elements, dissecting Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's roles and examining themes of capitalism, class disparity, and male inadequacy. The discussion highlights rich costume parties, sinister secret societies, and Christmas motifs that cleverly disguise the film's dark narrative. Join the hosts as they connect the enigmatic ending to the film's beginning, reminisce humorously about half Christmas, and appreciate Kubrick's meticulous attention to detail. Jonathan Kennedy also shares insights on his new projects and social media presence.Jonathan KennedyIG: https://www.instagram.com/getradifiedhttps://jonkennedy.net/https://www.threads.net/@getradifiedLeft of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

{Rebroadcast} Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) w/ Rob Rousseau and Oslowe
Is this movie a remake? If so, is it "the greatest remake of all time?" Regardless, the space goo has come to earth and it is turning everyone into mindless consumers who no longer think for themselves. Can it be stopped before it's too late?
