הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיThis week we’re breaking the first two rules and talking about Fight Club with the amazing veteran podcaster Elana Levin. Raz was getting over COVID so their voice is a little rough, but we had a great time talking about this classic movie, which actually has some decent lessons for organizing. And a lot of very powerful anti-lessons too. We got into the queerness of this film (happy Pride Month!), how it’s been embraced by the manosphere and evangelical Christians, how to keep your movement from turning into a death cult, and Brad Pitt’s power over straight men (we even got Elana’s husband, a certified Straight Man, to weigh in on the latter). Elana’s podcast is Graphic Policy Radio. You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @thelcapod. Things we mention in this episode: Vice Article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/paeg89/how-fight-club-became-the-ultimate-handbook-for-mens-rights-activists Evangelical fight clubs: https://mensfight.club/ Elana’s tweet: https://twitter.com/elana_brooklyn/status/1218562941982773249 Lit Hub article: https://lithub.com/everyone-misunderstands-the-point-of-fight-club/ Barbara Kruger piece: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/intricate-rituals This episode was produced by Raz Pollex and edited by Ross West.…

Yep, it’s a lot. But we loved this movie and loved talking about it. Also, what DO you do with your face when someone is reading you their poetry? We need to know.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיThis week we’re talking about Aaron Sorkin’s test run for The West Wing, The American President, with our first guest: the amazing feminist organizer Shelby Knox. But first, we take some time to talk about last week’s leak of the SCOTUS decision striking down Roe v Wade, and what we (and you) can do about it. Then (11:26) we get into the American President, a rom com about a suspiciously popular president falling in love with a “professional political operative.” We touch on political movies’ tendency to prize rhetoric over action, the importance of coalitions, and the outsized impact of the spotted owl (yes, that spotted owl). There’s also a LOT of West Wing talk. Abortion resources mentioned in the episode: Go to https://www.ineedana.com if you need to find abortion care. @RBraceySherman on Twitter is a great source of information on medical (pill) abortion and stories about real people who have had abortions. Give money and/or time to abortion funds! Go to https://abortionfunds.org/funds/ to find an abortion fund to give to and/or volunteer with. If you want to get involved in organizing to protect abortion in your state, find a local group. NARAL is definitely NOT the only group that does this but they have chapters in most states: https://www.prochoiceamerica.org If you like this episode, make sure to subscribe and rate us.

What do you do when you're an unexpected king faced with an unprecedented global crisis? For King George VI, this meant standing up to a lifelong stutter and working with an unorthodox speech therapist to comfort a nation. In this episode, we get into the realities of speech therapy, political communications as a wartime strategy, the complexities of being a political consultant, and whether or not a movie can stand on one note (spoiler: not really). Follow us on twitter and instagram at @thelcapod. Edited by Ross West. This podcast contains many spoilers.…

“Who cares about this stupid election?” Tracy Flick sure does. This week we’re talking about Election. We get into the long shadow of Tracy Flick, the staying power of mediocre white men, and the Clinton 90s of it all. Raz has a lot of feelings about sympathizing with the character who doesn’t think you should vote. This movie fits a LOT of plot and a LOT of politics into its short runtime, and we dug into it all. Your hosts are Raz Pollex and Erin Williams. This podcast has a lot of spoilers for the movie Election. Follow us on twitter and instagram at @thelcapod. Edited by Ross West.…
