  • Pretty Funny, Also 🤔

    Good show. Undoubtedly the funniest of the “revolutions” podcasts. Lots of informative and insightful content. Though I fear they may never know the genius that is Wu Tang v Ninja (1985), aka Ninja Hunter.

  • One of the Best podcasts on politics

    I have enjoyed this podcast for a couple years. And I subscribe to the Patreon. Always very informed. Also the show doesn’t take itself too seriously. Great guests for topics on left politics, socialism, sports, black culture and much much more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 898: THE END OF HISTORY (MOVIE) ft. JACOB GREGOR
Q: What possessed you to want to make a film that is oh, so lonely and stark?
The director explains that loneliness is his general vibe and that the film grew out of a road-trip concept and a fascination with lonely characters, aiming to explore a protagonist who is largely isolated and consumes media rather than engaging with the world.
WHAT FRESH HELL EP. 27
Q: To what extent is Putin performing a Bonapartean balancing act between the various political forces in Russia, such that if he falls, what follows might be much worse?
The balance appears to be maintained by intra-elite rivalry and the fear of destabilization; if Putin falls, competing factions could vie for power, potentially leading to instability or a shift toward regional or military leadership rather than a unified successor.
WHAT FRESH HELL EP. 26
Q: You want to explain to people real quick what the Save Act is?
The Save Act is a proposed election security measure that would require certain forms of identification, potentially suppressing turnout among groups Republicans perceive as leaning Democratic, raising concerns about voter access and Jim Crow-era parallels.
EP. 894: THE JUDGMENT OF GENDER: HOW WOMEN ARE CENTERED AND SILENCED IN POP CULTURE ft. ALISON T. BUTLER
Q: How has Me Too changed the conversation around gender and power in workplaces and media?
The guest argues that while Me Too raised awareness and community, the movement's origins and evolution show how challenging entrenched patriarchal narratives requires ongoing critical media literacy and structural changes beyond viral campaigns.
EP. 894: THE JUDGMENT OF GENDER: HOW WOMEN ARE CENTERED AND SILENCED IN POP CULTURE ft. ALISON T. BUTLER
Q: What does Sinéad in Silence mean as a framework for understanding pop culture?
Alison explains that the phrase frames how women are both centered and silenced in pop culture, using Sinéad O'Connor's activism and public struggles as a lens to examine representation, race, and mental health in media.
