Left of the Projector

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* NY Times - Horror Auteur Is Unfinished With the Undead // Why George A Romero’s Night of the Living Dead still gets under our skin // George Romero’s zombies will make Americans reflect on racial violence long after his death // How 1960s counterculture infected George A.

We throw around “the greatest of all time” a lot, but Alien is considered by some as one of the greatest horror/scifi films ever made.

Bonus crossover content!! I joined The Intervention to discuss a couple of pieces of culture from the New Deal Era.  We start by taking a look at the fascistic Gabriel Over the White House, brought to you by arch-reactionary and media oligarch, William Randolph Hearst.  We then move to the meat of the discussion on a decidedly better piece of culture, The Grapes of Wrath, in its various media manifestations.

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?

This week on the show we discuss a film that was almost never even made, but Terry Gilliam pulled it off and thank god he did. Gilliam created a world that melds together hope, fear, love and much more.

The Men in Black: a secret agency of the the Immigration and Naturalization Services (I.N.S.) that is in charge of illegal and legal "aliens" from other galaxies. Their existance is hidden through a flashy red light that allows the agency to mold the story to fit their narrative. Add this all together and you political film showing the dangers of illegal immigrants and how the US uses propaganda surrounding it to fit their narrative. I'm joined by Andre and CJ to discuss this blockbuster 90's film. // Andre Swai: Letterboxd // TikTok // CJ: Link Tree// Left of the Projector Links: ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠Podcast Stream Links ⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠Merch Store⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ // ⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leftoftheprojector/support
