Exploring the challenges of adapting Dune to film, the themes of imperialism and environmentalism, the intricate narrative style, and the clash between greed and cultural exploitation on Arrakis. Delving into the testing and breeding plans, the escape to the desert, encounters with the Fremen, and the adaptation challenges faced in portraying the dense plot progression.

The Hunger Games trilogy made over a billion dollars and is often seen as a work of revolution in a dystopian future. What if the movie wasn't so revolutionary afterall? What if they entire thing was a counter revolution or a bourgeoisie revolution? I dive in with friends of the show Hungry Rye and Donttagrob. The episode includes book differences and discussion of all 4 films.

John Carpenter's The Thing stands the test of time as one of the greatest horror movies of all-time. Did Carpenter make an anti-communist movie by accident...or on purpose?Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorpodhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojectorpod

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).

It's been 3 plus years since Parasite won best picture at the Academy Awards and in that time has the movie held up? Did it offer a too simplistic, on the nose take of class analysis? How does Korean history play into the movie itself and perhaps making of the movie?

From the people who brought you Legos comes the Lego Movie. A movie about legos moving around and doing stuff...but with hints of anti-capitalism.

Ex Machina is a soft sci-fi (a term coined by the episode's guest, Nathan) film from 2014 that depicts a Turing Test performed by a supposed "winner" of a contest. Instead, we have something else entirely. This film has so many directions you can take the discussion, especially a philosophical one. Here, we opted to disect the fake fear of the threat of AI, how the capitalist class probably will implement AI, and much more.

Joker is one of those movies in that one group of people sees one way, and everyone else sees another. I'll let you listen to see who says what... The movie itself is one of those love it or hate it, and I kinda fall in between the two. I am joined by podcast regulars to chat about the movie.

Triangle of Sadness got lots of buzz and for good reason. While there have been a lot of anti-capitalist themes in movies lately, this one may be the best of the bunch. More complex characters, an ending that makes you think (spoilers in episode, as always) and much more. I'm joined by film maker Michael Workman and Ivan who will bring their own unique perspective and life experience into the discussion. Michael T.
