I Don't Speak German

Trump released all the remaining secret JFK files!  Except not really.  And they're full of revelations!  Except not really.  (They're mainly full of people's social security numbers which, it transpires, is pretty much all the remaining redactions were hiding.)  Anna Paulina Luna (R, FL) is leading a new congressional investigation!  Er... no, she's inviting conspiracy theorists into Congress to confirm her ill-informed beliefs.  The mystery is solved!  Or deepens!  Except nope nope and nope. In this impromptu News Brief, Jack and Daniel jump off from a supremely stupid clip of reactionary conspiracybrained shitheads Bill Maher and Andrew Sullivan to ponder the changing political meaning of the conspiracy theories around the Kennedy assassination, why it has migrated from a left preoccupation all the way over to being an obsession of MAGA and the far-right.  Along the way we encounter the peculiar and controversial author Gerald Posner, who is able to debunk JFK conspiracy theories but apparently unable to see the problems with Israel's policies in Gaza, Elon Musk doing seig heils, or Gender Criticals who think the Trans movement is all funded by evil rich Jews (or possibly alien lizards). Yes, this is the world we live in folks. Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month.

Our 'movies about presidents' series continues (probably for four more years) with a much better movie this time. 1993's Wolfgang Peterson joint In the Line of Fire, featuring Clint Eastwood again (are we... doing a Clint Eastwood season now?) as jaded old Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan, veteran of a particular epic fail in Dallas 1963, up against the 90s serial killer shtick of rogue CIA super-assassin John Malkovich and, even more dauntingly, the merciless side-eye of fellow agent Rene Russo. A superior slice of 90s Hollywood nonsense with a nice line in gentle self-mockery and some adorable early digital effects. This is a fun one, kids. Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

Our series on 'movies about presidents' continues with a fun discussion of this 1997 'thriller', written by legendary Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman based on the debut novel of David Baldacci, starring/produced/directed by noted chair-interviewer Clint Eastwood, and boasting a splendid cast - including recently-deceased screen legend Gene Hackman - none of whom are given anything very interesting to do. Clint plays a suave cat burglar - with the unlikely name of Luther Whitney - who accidentally witnesses the president of the United States sexually assaulting a woman (far-fetched, right?) and getting her killed. All Hell then persistently threatens but repeatedly fails to break loose. Instead we get a slow, aimless, half-baked movie filled with good elements that don't cohere or go anywhere special. It sparked an amusing conversation though, as we hope you will agree. Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

Normal service to be resumed soon.  In the meantime, Daniel and Jack continue their series on movies about the presidency by considering Oliver Stone's baffling 2008 movie W., an aggressively irrelevant and annoyingly whimsical dramady biopic of blood-soaked war criminal George W. Bush.  The movie stars Josh Brolin as the charming mass murderer, and a host of respected American actors doing impressions of neocon profiteer warmongers in what looks weirdly like a bloated SNL sketch.  Both your hosts find their dusty old rage about the 'War on Terror' (and the myriad other vicious and authoritarian horrors of the Bush administration) suddenly reawakened.

Originally available to Patreon patrons 6th July. We recorded an episode about the 1996's biggest movie, Independence Day.  For election year, we're looking at movies 'about' the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy American exceptionalist pornography of this alien-invasion effects-spectacular?  It's a sprawling SF comedy about incalculable mass murder and the genocide of humanity. Bill Pullman looks decent, Will Smith quips, Jeff Goldblum recycles, Randy Quaid gets an anal probe, billions die, and a good time is had by all. Don't worry, the dog survives... For now. Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway. Features UK election chat, and US SCOTUS / Presidential debate banter.

It's Joever! But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'. There just isn't. So we're probably fucked, as usual. In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris... All that junk. P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast. Please don't sue. And if you do, sue Daniel.

Another little bonus to tide you over. Jack briefly went back to eX-Twitter to hangout in a Space with best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah and the excellent Dr Caitlin Moriah to talk about Russell Brand, Lauren Boebert, Danny Masterson, the hypocrisy of those who scream about groomers, patriarchy, etc. The bit where Caitlin talks about reactions to the Brand allegations among the 'Gender Criticals' is particularly interesting. Thanks to everyone who showed up to listen and/or join-in.

Another little bonus to tide you over. Jack briefly went back to eX-Twitter to hangout in a Space with best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah and the excellent Dr Caitlin Green to talk about Russell Brand, Lauren Boebert, Danny Masterson, the hypocrisy of those who scream about groomers, patriarchy, etc. The bit where Caitlin talks about reactions to the Brand allegations among the 'Gender Criticals' is particularly interesting. Thanks to everyone who showed up to listen and/or join-in.

In this episode, Jack is honoured to be joined by special guest Teddy Wilson of the excellent substack Radical Reports. (Links below.) Teddy has been closely studying the US far-right, including the sinister political pressure group that calls itself Moms for Liberty, one of the prime movers in the current reactionary cultural counter-revolution going on in America. Teddy tells Jack all about it, going into detail about M4L's aims, methods, and connections. He also tells Jack about the interactive visualisation tool he's created at Radical Reports for tracking M4L, their activities and interactions with other people and groups on the right. Topics covered include M4L's links to the Republican Party including DeSantis in Florida, their ideological censorship movement to expunge school libraries of anything they don't like, their links to the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, etc. Fascinating (if ominous) stuff. Just Jack this episode, but Daniel is on his way back. Won't be too long now. Show Notes: Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay ad-free and independent.

While Daniel and Jack continue working towards resumption of IDSG, Jack is once again invited by best-friend-of-the-pod Eiynah (@nicemangos of the Polite Conversations podcast) to co-host a Twitter space [obligatory Elon Musk joke here] about the new Barbie movie and the tsunami of reactionary tears it has invoked. Conversation (with contributions from various guests) ranges over the movie itself and Barbie herself, Musk and X, Dutch politics, the culture wars, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Piers Morgan, and that weird guy on YouTube who dresses like a medieval knight. Obviously, this being an X space (sigh), sound quality is variable.

Our hiatus continues, owing to some real pain-in-the-ass stuff in what is jokingly called 'real life'. Hopefully we are nearing the time when we can resume making new shows. In the meantime, here's another old bonus episode to tide you over until our triumphant return. In this one - originally recorded and released exclusively to Patreon subscribers in October 2021 - we discuss the 2008 movie Iron Man. * Daniel's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/danielharper/posts Jack's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4196618&fan_landing=true Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent.

We're still working on getting back up and running so in the meantime, here's an old bonus episode. This is our March 2022 discussion of Art Spiegelman's Maus, to go with our public episode from February 2022 about the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee removing the classic graphic novel about the Holocaust from the curriculum. Sadly, this is relevant again because yet another school board - this time in Nixa, Missouri - has targeted the book. It's not alone either. Nor is Maus the only classic Holocaust text being targeted. Ann Frank's diary is in the crosshairs of Mom's For Liberty.

By way of a little compensation for you while you wait (patiently, bless you) for us to get our shit back together (which we are in the process of doing) here is a little bonus, a slightly edited recording of a Twitter space that we did with our friend Eiynah Mohammed-Smith (@NiceMangos) on 12th May last. We chat about the coronation of Prince Charles (that's his name goddammit!), the revolting sexist discourse around E. Jean Carroll's suit against Trump, and the equally revolting discourse from deniers and obfuscators around the deadly shooting in Allen, Texas, with special reference to the bullshit about his ethnicity. Other subjects come up, naturally. Some interesting people took part and made great contributions. Hope you enjoy it. See you soon.

Okay, so.... as you'll have noticed, we haven't been that productive lately. We've both been going through some stuff. However, we are both still committed to the show. To tide you over while you wait for us to get our acts back together, here's a public release of an old Patreon-only bonus episode from August 2021. It's a general chat in which Daniel and Jack react to some contemporary news, and Daniel tells Jack about his visit to a museum while on his holidays. More interesting than it sounds, hopefully. Content warnings for some discussions of atrocity and war, and one satirical use of a slur (by Jack). Also, owing to technical difficulties, this episode doesn't have the absolute greatest sound, but it's perfectly listenable.
