Left of the Projector
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.

Salvador (1986) with Leftist Squidward
This week I'm joined by Thomas (Leftist Squidward on TikTok) to discuss a film with a historical perspective: Oliver Stone's Salvador. The film went mostly unnoticed at the time and even since has little resurgence. There is however, a lot to going on in the 1979-1980 period in El Salvador and we delve into the film as well as the history.

{Rebroadcast} Starship Troopers (1997)
**With some renewed interest in Starship Troopers after some very awful X (formerly Twitter) threads, I wanted to rebroadcast this episode which gets into the heart of the matter: This movie is satire.**
Starship Troopers is one of, if not the greatest, the best spoof military films of all time. Paul Verhoeven is the GOAT when it comes to satire, especially military and police related. The mastermind behind Robocop brought the novel to life in a much better way. Verhoeven used the imagery of fascism, the third reich, the United States to show what ongoing militarism looks like if we keep going in that direction.
