Sort of a feminist remake of Bonnie & Clyde, this week we have Thelma & Louise! We're joined by the incomparable Sarah Rose Siskind to talk about the various ways men treat women, whether the initiating event was murder or self defense, the different ways women have found justice through time, and a whole lot of joking along the way. Just a plain old fun romp.

Next up in our Rage Against the Machine season is Bonnie & Clyde, the outlaws who embodied the myth of sexy bank robbers and captured the hearts of the nation (who were all just waiting to see how they'd die; it was the reality TV of the time). Katherine Mangu-Ward, Editor in Chief of Reason, joins us to provide her unique and anarchy-tinged take on this story, and we have a great conversation.

Was Clyde really impotent? When they finally did do it, was Bonnie telling the truth about how good it was? Only one way to find out: Listen to this episode!

We continue our exploration of films that rage against the machine with perhaps one of the earliest to do so, and what might be essentially a prequel for Network, A Face in the Crowd. Film Professor Maura Spiegel helps guide us through this amazingly modern and relevant film, with a particularly surprising performance by Andy Griffith in his very first movie.

This film is a treat, and it we had a very enjoyable discussion -- check it out!

Welcome to our first rage-filled film, Network!

We have a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion with Nick Gillespie about media past and future, whether corporations really rule the world, did Walter Cronkite end Vietnam, do people have agency or are they slaves to the boob tube? And much, much more -- buckle in folks, it's a ride!

Rage Against the Machine!

We're kicking off a season of rage-filled films with a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion with Professor Maura Spiegel, who teaches film and wrote the biography of director Sidney Lumet. We discuss the purpose of and approaches to teaching film, the career of Lumet, and finally we do a walk-thru of the films we'll be discussing this season.

This is one really worth checking out.
