Episode 7!!! Today we're joined by one of our favorite filmmakers Emily Kai Bock. We discuss action sequences in Coens movies that thrill you with extreme physical realism AND phantasmagoric headtrippery. This is a journey! A fun, trippy journey. audioboom.com/posts/8284655-…

Federal Income Taxes Paid in 2021:
$0: AT&T
$0: AIG
$0: Dow
$0: Charter Communications
$0: Salesforce
$0: Duke Energy
$0: Kinder Morgan
Combined profits: $55.6 billion
But we're told inflation is rising because a worker got a 50 cent raise & a $1,400 check. #TaxTheRich

Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

I wanted to interview Trump supporters on what would he have to do to lose your support...? I believe they could make fabulous commercials. Why were there no takers? – at Cambridge, MA

Shot on 35mm and 65mm film, Emily Kai Bock’s (@BockKai) narrative-driven music video for @ArcadeFire’s AFTERLIFE is a stunning depiction of grief and loss told through a Mexican family living in Los Angeles.

Those in power who want us to focus on looting and property damage instead of the thousands peacefully protesting are trying to distract us from the terrible violence that engulfs the lives of working people every day. As Coretta Scott King reminded us, violence takes many forms.

Trump just had peaceful demonstrators viciously attacked. No, Mr. President. This is not a dictatorship. This is the United States of America. Our citizens have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's called the First Amendment.

For those keeping score at home:
The President refused to invoke the Defense Production Act to mobilize and save lives quickly against COVID-19.
But he didn't hesitate to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy the military on American streets against protests.

Watching Trump preen in front of St. John’s, moments after he threatened to deploy the American military against the American people, with a bible held above his head, I remembered this quote, “when facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”
