Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces! In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.

PUBLIC BONUS: Hillbilly Elegy

Nov 03 2024 75 mins  
As the election looms, we take a look at Hillbilly Elegy (shitty book and shitty movie), the 'memoir' of America's fuhrer-in-waiting, weirdo venture capitalist, plutocrat fascist misogynist, Trump's pet and Thiel's puppet, J.D. Vance, in which he slathers on the hillbillyface in a grotesque and offensive performance of working class minstrelsy to the rapturous applause of centrist

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep35 'Independence Day' (1996)

Oct 29 2024 86 mins  
Originally available to Patreon patrons 6th July. We recorded an episode about the 1996's biggest movie, Independence Day. For election year, we're looking at movies 'about' the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy American exceptionalist pornography of this alien-invasion effects-spectacular? It's a sprawling SF comedy about incalculable mass

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep34 'Dave' (1993)

Oct 25 2024 82 mins  
We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plot

UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep33 'Air Force One' (1997)

Oct 18 2024 77 mins  
Back in the mists of yore, when America's eternal 2024 presidential election began, we started a series of bonus episodes on movies about the US President (with the word 'about' being employed very loosely). In this first episode of that series, we look at 1997's Air Force One, in which President Harrison Ford wages a one-man, definitely not Die Hard-esque in any way campaign of e

PREVIEW: Bonus Ep37 'Dick' (1999)

Oct 18 2024 7 mins  
Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. By patron request, Daniel and Jack watch and discuss 1999's neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun. Ful

PREVIEW: Bonus Ep36 Frost/Nixon (2008)

Oct 03 2024 7 mins  
Daniel and Jack sit down across from each other in brown leather armchairs and ruthlessly interrogate each other about their many crimes. We also continue our election year series on movies about (or at least mentioning) US Presidents by talking over the deeply mid 2008 Ron Howard movie Frost/Nixon, an almost entirely fictional account of some TV interviews in which a chat show hos

News Brief: The Springfield Pogroms, Trump Assassination Attempt 2

Sep 21 2024 74 mins  
We talk about the second apparent attempt on trump's life, and why the Right's discourse about it is hypocritical bullshit. Then our main topic: the racist pogroms incited in Springfield, OH, by Trump and Vance's racist blood libels (via Blood Tribe and Chris Rufo), featuring the KKK and the Proud Boys. Features a surprise clip from Mike Enoch over at TDS. Then a couple of other st

News Brief: Tenet Media

Sep 11 2024 50 mins  
Daniel and Jack chat about Tenet Media, Lauren Chen, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, the Russians, and that whole hilarious schemozzle. Also discussed: Tucker Carlson interviews Daryl Cooper; Daniel has read the diary of the so-called 'Trans Shooter' from the 2023 Nashville school shooting.
