In the continuation of our "New RP Canon" series, Jack, Geraint, Yair and FFF watch Clint Eastwood's 2019 masterpiece RICHARD JEWELL, a searing indictment of an unfeeling deep state, the lying fake news media, and women's duplicitous ways. NEXT IN THE SERIES: We resume our Mel Gibson historical epic season with THE PATRIOT.
We've been doing our "New RP Canon" movie commentary series as Patreon exclusives, but @wariotifo requested that his first pick, Mel Gibson's BRAVEHEART (1995), be released in its entirety for free. Join us as we reject the crooked facts of lying English historians and venture back into the heroic annals of true Scottish history with our good friend Mel. 00:00:00 - intro 00:19:11 - first attempt at commentary/tech issues 00:24:13 - commentary begins in earnest 03:21:13 - outro

well, I polled our Twitter followers on which film they wanted us to cover next in our commentary series, and Polanski nation (Poland?) won out decisively, defeating other hot prospects such as Ridley Scott's The Counselor and the enticing "Extreme Prejudice ft. FFF" (the Fuckedman is in tow once again here, and will be joining us as an auxiliary member of the show for at least a majority of our commentaries). join us as we watch a very great film by a very bad man, and talk about important issu...
FFF joins me again (not in a numbered episode...because it's just TOO GOOD) for another entry in our ongoing Reel Politik Audio Commentary Series on the movies that made us the foul & debased creatures we are today. This time it's Clint Eastwood's GRAN TORINO (2008), a film about a man and his car, the changing face of the American city, and How Guys Talk To One Another. With a length forty-minute introduction in which we go through pretty much every Clint movie since 2003's MYSTIC RIVER (AK...

Lilah @palebloodstasi (formerly @leechwaifu) returns to the show to pay tribute to the great DAVID LYNCH, the indescribable director, writer, sonic sculptor, visual artist, musician, meditation guru, actor and general polymathic artistic genius, who died a month ago on January 15th. In the classic wide-ranging, structureless RP style, we try our best to dig into every obscure nook and cranny of his deceptively vast body of work. while giving ample time to the stuff everyone likes, like Twin Peak...

The much-ballyhooed "CHINA CUT" of our most recent episode.
