"We should prank call the radical muckraking bastards!"
At a listener/patron request, @danielharper.bsky.social & I have recorded an IDSG bonus episode (in our election year movies-about-presidents series) on 1999's 'Dick', in which two teenage girls bring down Richard Nixon. A lovely movie and a fun recording. Up soon.
been saying this for a decade: buy hard copies of anything you love, even if all that's available is a dvd or a cd or something, because you cannot fucking trust a landlord
"We’re living through an age of mass deletion, a moment when entertainment and media corporations see themselves not as custodians of valuable cultural history, once freely available, but as ruthless maximisers of profit." @zachschonfeld.bsky.social
The amount of media being wiped from the internet is worrying for viewers, and industry workers who need the exposure, says journalist and critic Zach Schonfeld
"is amy wax racist? for analysis, let's turn to a guy with a pathological hatred of black people"
Well, @danielharper.bsky.social & I finally managed to record a bonus episode on Frost/Nixon (2008). And it's definitely a bonus episode on Frost/Nixon (2008), I can tell you that.
Sounds great to me.
NEW IDSG: I talk with @danielharper.bsky.socialidontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/news-brief-t...
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...
I have a new essay on Nic Roeg's 1979 classic Don't Look Now! nearly finished, and @danielharper.bsky.social and I have just finished recording a new IDSG News Brief on Springfield and Trump Assassination Attempt 2. Content coming soon, my darlings!
We have a new News Brief episode of IDSG recorded. @danielharper.bsky.social and I chatted about J.D. Vance and his various resurfaced clips, many of which featured him in discussion with people we've previously done episodes about! Plus a little bit on Groyper War II. Out soon.
@danielharper.bsky.social and I are both regretful about not putting out much new IDSG since our 'return' but real life stuff has been tricky lately. We aim to be back to regular full episodes fairly soon. In the meantime, we should be able to do more News Briefs & bonuses in the immediate future.
