Episode 4 - Menace II Society

Does gang violence in films like Menace II Society still hold up the mirror to the world we live in today? In this episode, I talk to one of the writers of Less than a critique, and we try to understand how and why the hood allegory is more important now than it was 30 years ago.   There is also a YouTube companion to this episode on most podcast platforms.   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Nuzd75Z3B4CKpodANdciQ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lessthanacritique/?hl=en  Subscribe to Friends Partying in Hell and follow our Podcast on most platforms: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4Ihy-hREJVPAp3PZ-CrJg https://www.instagram.com/fpihpodcast/  For inquiries: acritiquestudios@gmail.com

Episode 3. Don't Look Up

In this episode I talk to Erix Mercedes [https://www.instagram.com/erix_mercedes/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=c5e10658-4484-4073-8f9d-07182bce4225], an award-winning filmmaker about the film Don't Look Up directed by Adam Mckay. We dive into what this film was trying to say to us individually and come to different conclusions. A film like this lets you speak more about the world outside of it and created a rich dialogue about how and in what way do films really create a conversation about societal issues.  There is also a YouTube companion to this episode on most podcast platforms.

Episode 2. Old Boy

In this episode, we talk about Old Boy one of my favorite films of all time. Murphy mows down all the bad guys, but is there something more to this robot cop. This dystopian future story filled with violence is a companion piece to the video Why Uber violence works on Youtube. In the video, I talk about when violence works in a film to tell a story.  There is also a YouTube companion to this episode on most podcast platforms.
