  • Punch-Drunk Love (2002) with Portia Barnett-Herrin
    Aug 19 2025

    In this episode, I explore the 2002 film Punch Drunk Love with writer-director Portia. We discuss its significance during a period of economic uncertainty and its distinct departure from Paul Thomas Anderson's other works. Portia shares her connection to the film, highlighting Adam Sandler’s multifaceted portrayal of Barry Egan and the film's subversion of romantic comedy tropes. We analyze its artistic choices, standout performances, and motifs of connection and isolation, ultimately recognizing how Punch Drunk Love invites a deeper appreciation within Anderson’s filmography.

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
    Aug 12 2025

    In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore the iconic film 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick, and its profound themes regarding AI and humanity. Joined by Levi and Joey, we discuss the contrasting representations of artificial intelligence, specifically HAL 9000 and Harlan Ellison's AM, prompting reflections on consciousness and survival. We analyze Kubrick's artistic choices, including minimal dialogue and groundbreaking visual effects, and consider the monoliths as symbols of external influence in human evolution.

  • Videodrome (1983) with Why We Roll
    Jul 21 2025

    In this episode, I join Chris and Wythe from the Why We Roll Podcast to analyze David Cronenberg's cult classic Videodrome. We explore its themes of technology, media, and the human condition, discussing the film's initial reception and rise to cult status. We examine the character of Max Ren, played by James Woods, and the male gaze's implications on sexuality and power dynamics, as well as the film's philosophical layers surrounding identity.

    We also consider Cronenberg's body horror elements as metaphors for existential dilemmas, particularly as Max navigates the influence of Videodrome. The conversation draws parallels between the film and contemporary media technologies, questioning whether they enhance or diminish our humanity. We conclude by reflecting on the lasting impact of Videodrome and its relevance in today's media landscape.
