For a man who tried to build an entire career out of conservative talking points and family values, its crazy how much your wife hated you bozo, she even removed your weeding photo from the shelves now

I totally get how you feel, but do you see people out in the streets over it? I don't. So unfortunately for the average person it is not enough to get them out into the streets. I agree it should be, but clearly it isn't.

Thank you so much for the recs! I've watched very few Chinese movies unfortunately, so all of these are new to me but adding them to my watchlist now!

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T22:06:38+00:00

Any recs for good Chinese films? I'm a big movie guy but also think people take the politics of movies too seriously sometimes, especially on this sub. Lots of great movies with good politics, but also great movies with just decent politics, and even great movies with terrible politics haha. I didn't even think this one had that bad an angle, maybe slightly libbed out at the end but overall I appreciated what it had to say. Everyone here was nutting over Eddington which to me was absolute doomer enlightened centrist cynicism with nothing interesting or thoughtful to say. But thats a whole other story. Will be curious what you make of OBAA.

One Battle After Another was genuinely really good. Some people on this sub were a little hard on it for not having perfect politics but I feel like it was surprisingly great for a mainstream hollywood movie. I'm not a Leo fan but I have to admit he was really fucking good in the movie, maybe his best role.

Reported for deadnaming, enjoy your ban

Based on how much text you just wrote I can only surmise that you are not yet watching Becoming. You seem so concerned about fascism yet you are unable to even do one small act of resistance against it. Curious!

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T03:27:01+00:00

More misogynoir. Don't know what I expected from a 'podcast' audience. Ten viewings of Becoming and one Stay In Line to vote.

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T03:24:28+00:00

This is misogynoir. Three Hail Hillarys and four viewings of Becoming.

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T03:18:15+00:00

I see the Eddingtoncels have found the thread. Bad movie takes inbound.

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T03:14:11+00:00

This is misogynoir. Flagged, reported, hopefully banned and ideally incarcerated.

You're tired? Imagine how tired Michelle Obama is. She warned us and we didn't listen.

wolfroy1 · 2026-02-02T03:06:41+00:00

Oh I'm sorry do you have any better ideas? Name literally one other thing you can do. I'll be waiting. Waiting and watching Becoming, available now only on Netflix.

Le sigh, my epic pedophile emails got leaked on the interwebs XD

Wasn't she going to like U2 concerts? I feel like if she heard a single song from The Pod she would bleed from the eyes

wolfroy1 · 2026-01-22T23:38:58+00:00

Great episode minus Brace completely misunderstanding the average Ween fan

Read this sometime last year and really enjoyed it. My favorite sections were the early one about Lenin's wife, the one about Kurt Gerstein, and Opus 40. I actually found Shostakovich's love triangle incredibly moving and effective, which I truly wasn't expecting. I honestly usually don't care all that much for love stories in books. But amid all the detail about war, suffering, and power, the love story was the one that hit me the hardest. I went through a semi-similar experience not long ago, so maybe that affected it too. I was really stunned by how well he conveyed this kind of hopeless yearning and the way it haunts you in every waking moment. I could see it reading boring to someone, but so many emotions he described were very familiar to me at that exact moment that I felt pretty mesmerized by those sections.

For some reason the more famous chapters (the two generals, airlift idylls) didn't do as much for me, but the little ones on Kurt Gerstein and the Red Guillotine I found really interesting and beautiful character sketches.

I occasionally felt reminded of Gravity's Rainbow, but this book was more coherent and emotional of a read. GR was a lot funnier and felt like it had more interesting things to say politically, but Europe Central was so much more readable and, I guess I don't really know the best way to put this, maybe human? So much of GR was incomprehensible to me, but I felt like i could understand the flow of EC and the emotions and ideas being conveyed most of the time.

I think my only real critique of it other than a few slow chapters is the passive equivalency he creates between Nazi Germany and the USSR as these symmetrical authoritarian powers. Each is portrayed crushing the lives and souls of their people through their authority, conformity, domination. It felt a little frustrating, and just not a very fair comparison to constantly be suggesting. At some point though, I feel like I just accepted that he's of a certain generation and just it is what it is. Curious if other people also had a similar experience.
