Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, we take a critical look at the film "Emilia Perez," an endeavor that has stirred significant debate due to its questionable narrative and representation. Joined by Griff and Chris from "Bring Out Your Dead," we dissect the film’s convoluted plot revolving around a Mexican cartel leader's journey of transition amidst the violence of the drug war. We highlight the controversies related to the film’s lack of authentic Mexican representation and the director Jacques Audiard's dismissive approach to Mexican culture. Our conversation unpacks the harmful stereotypes perpetuated by the film, particularly regarding trans women, and critiques its failed attempts at emotional resonance. We express disappointment in the film’s arbitrary musical numbers and underwhelming performances, particularly from Selena Gomez. Ultimately, we urge listeners to rethink their engagement with "Emilia Perez," advocating for cinema that embraces authentic narratives and empowers marginalized voices Bring Out Your Dead: https://www.instagram.com/bringoutyourdeadpod/ https://pod.link/1706697539 https://open.spotify.com/show/3Wsrp6l2a5JlXPJvG5Iwwg?si=3c5d62ed204a42a0 Left of the Projector Links https://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPod https://boxd.it/5T9O1 https://leftoftheprojector.com https://instagram.com/leftoftheprojector http://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpod https://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector…

In this episode, I join Hugo and Priscilla Luna to explore the iconic 1973 horror film The Exorcist , directed by William Friedkin. We dissect its classification as horror, delve into its psychological themes, and reflect on how early exposure to the film shapes perceptions of the genre. We examine the historical context of post-Vietnam America, discussing societal fears surrounding science and religion. The conversation highlights Friedkin's innovative filmmaking techniques and key scenes, particularly Reagan’s possession. We also analyze character arcs, focusing on Father Karras’s internal struggles. We wrap up by recommending both versions of the film to appreciate its layered narrative and significance in cinema.

We explore the film's representation of New York City during a tumultuous period marked by crime and economic decline, highlighting its authenticity through character accents and Walter Matthau's performance. Nathan reflects on the diverse motivations of the hijackers, the film's commentary on class and desperation, and its critique of municipal authority. The conversation also touches upon the socio-political context of 1970s New York, addressing the film's problematic portrayals while affirming its significant exploration of collective action and civic-mindedness. Nathan ultimately champions the film as essential viewing for its nuanced depiction of urban struggles.
