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.

Rollerball (1975 & 2002) with Matt Bors & Ben Clarkson (Justice Warriors Comic, The Nib)
Rollerball is a forgotten classic of the 1970s. The 2002 remake of Rollerball should simply be forgotten. The former is a classic dystopian film that delves into so much more than a made up sport. Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson, authors of the comic Justice Warriors join me to discuss both movies and dystopian film.

It's July 4th, so this week we bring you a movie the CIA fighting the IRA (or a faction of it). This 90's Tom Clancy classic is one of those movies that was a product of its time.

Saved! w/ James Doonquah and Smirk Gently
Saved! is one of those early 2000's films that kind of flew under the radar. The movie stars Jena Malone, Mandy Moore & Macaulay Culkin as a parody of what it's like to be in a Christian community and high school. The premise being Malone become pregnant and all of the drama that ensues.
I am joined by friend of the show Smirk Gently as well as James Doonquah (Legion of Doom on socials).
