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.

A Bug's Life: For Oppressed Ants Everywhere {REBROADAST}
For Animated Insect Week™ I bring you a rebroadcast of episode 14 of A Bug's Life. This is a throwback to a very early episode from August 2022. This is a companion to Antz. Kevin Spacey still sucks.

Fatman (2020): Santa Works for the Government
What would the holiday season be without a movie about Santa. In this case, however, we bring you Fatman, a film starting Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins. It's really something else and the writers/directors are quite an interesting pair. We also dive into military propaganda in film and how tight they are in Hollywood.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) with Hungry Rye and SmirkGently
Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure exploitation...
Willy Wonka is the perfect personification of Elon Musk. Elon Musk was born 2 days after the release of this film, but if you listen along with Smirk Gently and Hungry Rye, you'll understand why.

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.
