You can feel the guy getting mad making his own reactionary sign

I recently purchased a Mission-style computer armoire off Facebook Marketplace so I can put my work away at night, and it's been an amazing gift to my brain. We need to go back to treating Internet as a thing that happens in a specific place.

Just finished a stretch of recording some fantastic new episodes with @tlknoell.bsky.social, @doctorcarrie.bsky.social, and @christopherbell.bsky.social!

Sure I’ll listen to something called “The Ugly Organ” while I make breakfast. Why not.

United States of Germany???

A Peter Watkins type film about an apartment forming a tenants union... pre-production is finding an apartment, going door to door looking for participants. Share the creative process. Make a film together. Leave with a film and a newly formed tenants union.

Shitty first draft is now less shitty second draft

New episode is live! The CWC team discusses the brilliant Soviet film LETTER NEVER SENT (1959), dir. by Mikhail Kalatozov. We explain the tenets of socialist realism, the function of the Western genre in the US context vs. the USSR context, and more. coldwarcinema.com/s2-ep-11-let...

There's an episode of Super Mario Bros. Super Show with Mikhail Gorbachev as a character and the episode is titled GLASNUTS

This was mumblecore

The Super Mario. Bros. Super Show regularly had celebrity guest stars except they were not actually the celebrity and just some day player pretending to be them. Example: Cher. To confuse it futher, some actual mid-tier famous ppl really were on the show. Elvira, Nicole Eggert, Enrie Hudson.

Mikhail makes a disgusting pizza. Baby gapes and ukranian sour cream?

@historyonfilm.bsky.social will be a guest on @popculturebasement.bsky.social in early March but until then listen to this incredible episode! Whether you’re a fan of hip hop or not, this is ESSENTIAL listening!

This show had a kickin' theme song

New from me. The “WTO/99” documentary is a timely reminder that the history of police repression repeats, and repeats, and repeats.

ugh Gramsci should be in that Mussolini show

This was mumblecore
