Reel Politik podcast co-host and British-American-Israeli citizen Yair Rice ceremonially burns his Israeli passport in protest at the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. Can't really add anything more to this that Yair doesn't cover in the vid, but the RP team salute his courageous gesture. FREE PALESTINE.

To kick off RP for 2024, we return by popular demand to the English-language, western-targeted comedy sketches of Eretz Nehederet, the "Israeli Saturday Night Live", as well as the YouTube content of their celebrity guest Michael Rapaport. After an absence from the airwaves of several months to learn and grow, friend of the show Farages Fucked Face (@soldierpaypig) returns to provide expertise on comedy of somewhat dubious quality, through an even poorer quality mic.
REEL POLITIK PODCAST BACK IN BUSINESS JAN '24
Subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/reelpolitik and get the full RP Extra @ https://www.patreon.com/posts/94462789. We review Mike Flanagan's new Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher. Yair was whisked away due to unavoidable parental responsibilities, so the last half hour is our 171st episode, edited down from a much longer running time to purely the Flanagan/Doctor Sleep/Stephen King/The Shining discussion, a worthy companion to our newer conversation.
A morbid episode this week, as Jack and Yair pour one out for the dearly departed trinity of Henry Kissinger, Shane MacGowan and Alistair Darling. PLUS cuts to the BBC's Newsnight, the resumption of violence in Gaza, & Starmer saying the best thing about Thatcher was the Thatcherism.

This 45 min segment was originally released as part of a longer RP Extra on patreon.com/reelpolitik. The original description is as follows: Geraint and Jack investigate politically incorrect British comedian Jim Davidson's new streaming service USTREME ("laugh like you used to") and the incredible comments of an elderly Geordie man called Kenny underneath virtually all their content.
Longtime friend of the show Lilah (@leechwaifu on Twitter) makes her Reel Politik debut to provide live commentary on a series of English-language comedy sketches from Israel's most renowned satire show, Eretz Nehederet, designed to put a positive spin on the Israeli bombardment of Gaza for western audiences. In addition, we check out a couple of other top Israeli cultural exports: a terrifying pro-genocide anthem sung by children, and an abusive voice message some IDF guy sent to Owen Jones, be...

Returning legend Steffan @phased_bemused AKA Shrieking Tinman joins Jack and Geraint to talk Welsh issues, Captain Tom, furries, Sleaford Mods, Rumble, boycotting Radiohead, and all the usual anti-Starmer/Israel shit. In the middle of all this, Jack reviews Martin Scorsese's powerful and pertinent new film Killers Of The Flower Moon.
A preview of our last two patreon.com/reelpolitik exclusives, featuring a Jack/Yair discussion of Bill Maher from a full hour of chat by the deadly duo, followed by one from our new Jack/Geraint bonus episode, in which we run through all the dumb Hollywood celebs to have signed the pro-Israel open letter doing the rounds over there. Once again, for every numbered episode that appears on our main feed, we are now releasing an "RP Extra" - each effectively an episode in its own right. patreon.com/...
In celebration of definitely-real phenomenon of "armistice weekend" and the glories of war, Jack and Geraint review Ian Brown's 2007 anti-Iraq War, anti-Israeli occupation, anti-child poverty protest album The World Is Yours, which contains brilliant Sinéad O'Connor-aided masterpiece 'Illegal Attacks', and some other songs. Jack then presents selected readings from Ice Cube's 2018 Trump diss 'Arrest the President'. This episode was originally planned to be our patreon.com/reelpolitik bonus for t...
This episode was certified by the official Reel Politik factchecker as containing CONCRETE FACTS. As requested by one listener, Geraint and Jack run down the rogue's gallery of right-wing shitbags and Sebags among the signatories of British pro-Israel petition "the October Declaration". Read and, if you're a supporter of apartheid and/or genocide, sign the October Declaration over at https://britishfriendsofisrael.org.

the long-awaited episode 274 now finally gets its equally long-awaited RP Extra, this time pretty much one as lengthy as a standard episode. we talk about Israel and Palestine for another half an hour or so, and then get on our Britrock shit and go deep on Ian Brown (more on him on a future RP Extra), Muse and Beady Eye, among others. this clip contains stuff about Rachel Reeves and, separately, Ian Brown.

Jack and Yair talk about Israel and Palestine. Yair details his efforts to formally renounce his Israeli citizenship, and Jack fills him on on Keir Starmer's trip to the South Wales Islamic Centre. PLUS Piers Morgan, OctopusGate, funny propaganda & unfunny crimes.
Jack, Geraint and Yair discuss the Labour Party's 2023 conference and, more importantly, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. NOTE: This episode was recorded last Tuesday, so already some of it has been rendered somewhat dated. But basically the Labour shit is in the first 45 mins and then it's all FREE PALESTINE!
Hear the full hour of material at https://www.patreon.com/posts/90652547 by subscribing to patreon.com/reelpolitik. Pretty substantive and more-focused-than-usual RP Extra here today, though, as Geraint and I spend the vast bulk of it investigating politically incorrect British comedian Jim Davidson's new streaming service USTREME ("laugh like you used to") and the incredible comments of an elderly Geordie man called Kenny underneath virtually all their content. To warm up, however, we look at a...
Jack and Geraint convene to talk about the Rory Stewart scandal, wherein the centrist ex-Tory and podcaster was the subject of antisemitism allegations after he issued the mildest possible defence of Jeremy Corbyn on constitutional grounds, and what this tells us about how consensus is constructed in British politics. Once that's out of the way, we move onto Americans' love of shooting people with their guns, and some of the latest broken Starmer pledges. We also wildly but - in hindsight - quit...
A preview of our last two Patreon episodes, featuring Jack, Yair and Geraint discussing Oasis and "going Welsh", and Jack and Yair talking about hit motion picture Sound of Freedom. These are just two of the myriad topics touched on across these two bonus episodes.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Remus the dog, a beloved pet of fourteen years, although it was recorded while he was still with us. Jack and Yair convene for a loose chat concerning new Labour MP Keir Mather and other millennial politicians, dangerous dogs and the work of Sticky Fingaz, Kanye's antisemitism era and subsequent going-to-ground, and - four years on - the moral panic surrounding the film Joker, and the character's prior portrayal by Jared Leto. PLUS: The Finnish PM's res...
Jack, Geraint and Yair run down the latest ultra-Blairite changes to Sir Keir Starmer's top team, read Simon Hattenstone's excellent Guardian profile of shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/10/if-you-want-cartwheels-im-not-your-person-rachel-reeves-on-charisma-u-turns-and-rescuing-the-economy), and discuss Ed Balls and Robert Peston's "surprisingly punk" new rock band Centrist Dad.

DISCLAIMER: RP listener @MarkedAsRed points out that this episode should've been called 'Cym Town'. We apologise for dropping the (cym-filled) ball on that one. Jack and Geraint are joined by official RP Welsh Correspondent Stefan AKA Shrieking Tinman AKA @phased_bemused to talk spooky Welsh politicians, the Pie/Doyle/Spiked comedy empire and wider network, so-called (by Geraint) "Starmer dogging rumours", before we do an in-depth reading of Anne McElvoy's recent Evening Standard article "Jeremy...
Exiled Twitter renegade Sinan Kose of the Peace at Home Podcast (@PeaceAtHomePod) joins Jack & Geraint (@wariotifo) for a mammoth episode revisiting the self-published/self-exculpatory oral history of 2019's hottest new centrist party Change UK The Independent Group.

A preview of our last two Patreon episodes, featuring Jack, Yair and Geraint discussing America's #1 song 'Try That In A Small Town', and Jack and FFF bitching about who they hate on the left. The RP Extra drawn from the Louis Theroux episode fronted by our core trio can be found here - https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp268-extra-87945901 - while the near-hour of additional FFF material can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp267-extra-ft-87530093.

Jack, Yair and Geraint review Louis Theroux's three-part BBC documentary series, "Forbidden America", which aired in February 2022 and covers the US far-right, trap and soundcloud rap, and the porn industry. Inevitably, we end up comparing these recent films to our more "gonzo" favourites from the Theroux back catalogue.
In what can be construed as either another misguided attempt to break the American market, or an attempt to explain the peculiarities of American culture to our UK audience, Jack spends almost an hour reading the names of episodes of hit liberal podcast Pod Save America to an increasingly agitated FFF. NOTE: It took a lot of work to make FFF semi-intelligible on this one. Not only was his side of the conversation recorded in the worst quality in podcasting history, about the only thing clearly a...
Subscribe at patreon.com/reelpolitik and get the full hour+ of additional material here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp266-extra-ft-87114740 AKA "British Blues Corner" My rationale for dividing up my 2-hour-and-change convo with our good friend Jude (@judeinlondon) was basically anything Bruce in the main episode, and anything non-Bruce in the Patreon one. It pretty much came to an hour and change either way. So if you don't like Bruce Springsteen, it's your lucky day. Unfortunately, if you do...
Friend of the show Jude Wanga (@judeinlondon) joins Jack to review the Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band show they saw at Hyde Park last month. Jack also talks a bit about his own grand return to live musical performance at his friend's wedding. Subscribe at patreon.com/reelpolitik to hear an EXTRA HOUR of conversation with Jude, including lots more rock talk and - even more excitingly - the titular anti-Starmer material!
