We begin a new three episode series on Italian filmmakers and their depictions of fascism. We start with Luchino Visconti's 1969 film THE DAMNED about an industrialist German family and the depravity they engage in as they navigate a working relationship with the ascendant Third Reich. Discussion also includes:
- Homosexuality during the rise of the Nazis;
- The United Auto Workers who are suing Trump and Elon;
- Alachua County's efforts to divest from corporate interests;
- The Alien franchise and why it's great.
