Dog Day Afternoon (1975) with Jake Flores (Pod Damn America)
In this episode, I explore the iconic 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon with guest Jake Flores, delving into its themes of class struggle and socio-economic issues of the 1970s. We analyze Sonny's character, who conducts a bank heist to fund his partner Leon's gender-affirming surgery, and discuss the film's impact on LGBTQ+ representation.Our conversation examines the media portrayal in the film, particularly the "Attica" scene's relevance to contemporary justice movements. By unpacking the film's climax, we highlight its stark reality within a decaying socio-economic landscape, emphasizing its enduring significance in discussions around identity, resistance, and the intersection of art and politics.Jake Floreshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-damn-america/id1271019505https://x.com/feraljokeshttps://x.com/WhyYouMadPodhttps://x.com/IDKYPodhttps://www.instagram.com/feraljokes/Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

TV BONUS: Severance: Season 2, Episodes 9-10
In this episode of Left of the Projector, I’m joined by Smirk and Red to discuss the final two episodes of Season 2 of Severance. We analyze the emotional depth and intricate narrative of the finale, focusing on the character arcs of Mark, Gemma, and the Egan family within Lumen's oppressive corporate culture.We explore themes of control, moral ambiguity, and the duality of their 'Innie' and 'Outie' selves, while reflecting on the show's dark humor and symbolism. As we wrap up, we speculate on the unresolved themes of exploitation and identity, anticipating how they may evolve in future seasons. Ultimately, Severance challenges us to confront societal compartmentalization and the quest for wholeness.Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

On Left of the Projector we discuss from film from a leftist perspective. Episodes will feature guests who will offer their thoughts on films from a shared interest in class consciousness and personal experience. While everyone can take something different from a movie, LotP will provide discussion and analysis from an anti-capitalist and Marxist point of view.
