BlackKklansman (2018) | w/guests Daniel Harper and Jack Graham of the I Don't Speak German podcast

Red Rose Film Club

We welcome Daniel Harper and Jack Graham, co-hosts of the excellent anti-fascist podcast I Don't Speak German. We watched Spike Lee's incendiary 2018 thriller BlackKklansman. We discuss the history of the Ku Klux Klan, Hollywood's complicity in its rise, and Spike's reckoning with making a quasi pro-police film. Discussion also includes:

• David Duke's bizarre diet and exercise regiment;
• We discuss the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Virginia and Daniel and Jack give us an update on the rally's most notorious nazi dorks;
• The harrowing sound editing of Jonathan Glazer's THE ZONE OF INTEREST; and
• Can there be a movie about cops that isn't copaganda?
