Spoilers beware! This episode contains important plot points and major spoilers for the end of the film! Don't say we didn't warn you!We talk about the newest entry in the Predator franchise, Dan Trachtenberg's "Predator: Badlands" in theatres now! Starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, "Badlands" has been rated 3.5 or better and certified fresh by those who saw it, and too woke for dudes moldering in their basement. Join us for this special Box Office Drop episode as we discuss why we think "Badlands" is a worthy entry to the Predator franchise and tear apart some of the internet's worst opinions on the film.

This week we are joined by Jason Christian of Cold War Cinema to talk about 1984's propaganda vehicle, "Red Dawn." Directed by John Milius, the film stars Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and C. Thomas Howell as teenagers engaging in a guerilla war against the completely improbable and nonsensical invasion of the United States by the combined forces of the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua. We discuss the paradox of the Soviet Union in cinema as the most dangerous evil in the world while simultaneously being incredibly stupid, how that is a more accurate representation of the US in reality, Milius's reputation as a right wing crank, the deep ties between US cinema and anti communist propaganda, and ask Jason why he made us watch this absolute dog's dinner of a movie.

Evan and Ward are joined by Jacob and Lenore from Socialist Shelf to discuss Sam Raimi's "Drag Me To Hell." Released in 2009, the film was written by Raimi alongside his brother Ivan Raimi and stars Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao, David Paymer, and Adriana Barraza. We discuss the obvious class divides and their effect on characters, housing, and the consequences of being a class traitor. Something which we all would like to see more of off screen. Bring your religious reliquaries and crosses, stock up on holy water and call the B.P.R.D. - capitalism isn't the only demonic entity that shows up in this one.The Socialist Shelfhttps://pod.link/1665378700https://bsky.app/profile/socialistshelf.bsky.socialhttps://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/roundfire-books/our-books/they-called-her-rebelLeft of the Projector Linkshttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://www.instagram.com/the_red_gobbo/https://www.instagram.com/millennialmarxist1/https://leftoftheprojector.com

This week we talk about 2025’s Weapons, written and directed by Zach Cregger, and how it relates to alienation, the failure of capitalist systems to build and maintain true community, and how teachers in the US don’t get nearly enough credit or appreciation for what they do. No guest this week, just your boys from the Big Lebowski talking movies through the lens of Marx. As always, spoilers ahead.Left of the Projector Linkshttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://www.instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorpod/https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://www.instagram.com/the_red_gobbo/https://www.instagram.com/millennialmarxist1/https://leftoftheprojector.com
