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.

Jurassic Park with Dang We Stole this Podcast
Jurassic Park. What is there to really say about this movie other than it's what happens when a capitalist uses technology for evil instead of good and then is shocked when the results are not what he'd hoped. Welcome to Left of the Projector...

Children of Men with Bring Out Your Dead podcast
Children of Men has become more relevant and prescient with every year since it came out in 2006. When we recorded this on October 19, 2023, it was stunning how you could see comparisons of the immigration facilities to Gaza. This movie is a glimmer of hope...perhaps the hope that all those who are opressed need to one day be free.

The 5th Element with some meat popsicles
The 1990's were wild. Boy bands, the Spice Girls and Bruce Willias movies that are begging for a bunch of millenials to discuss. I'm joined by Serra Despair and Costume Whimsy (check out our episode on Demolition Man) to dig through this treasure trove of 90's nostalgia.//

Night of the Living Dead with Comrades
George A Romero is typically considered the father of the modern zombie film. Continuing spooky season, I'm joined by Levi (The Intervention), Red and Cole to discuss what zombies are in this film, how the year of release (1968) is so significant to the film and much more. There are countless articles the group read preparing and so below you'll find a collection of some of those pieces.
*Correction: It took longer than 3 weeks to film this movie*
