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.

Minority Report (2002)
What if we could stop crime before it happened or prevent crime? Well, we know cops don't do that now. In this Tom Cruise sci-fi film from the post 9/11 era, Minority Report is a cautionary tale...or is it just reality? I'm joined by Al to discuss this classic.

{Rebroadcast} Dune (2021) with Commie Trucker
Rebroadcast in anticipation of Dune: Part 2 coming April 4, 2024
Frank Herbert's Dune series has long been considered an impossible series to bring to film. We saw David Lynch try and fail, but in 2021, Denis Villeneuve accomplished the unthinkable. Dune Part One, the first half of the first novel, is a stunning film that really does an excellent job bringing the story to life. I'm joined again by Commie Trucker, co-host of the Left without Borders podcast, to discuss how it does the book justice, the themes embedded in the movie and why it's so beloved among the right wing.
