Modernism and media studies at UC Berkeley. Mediocre film photographer. Excellent baseball fan.

Downtime: The Twentieth Century in Slow Motion (Columbia UP) out in May, 2025.
I found a dubbed version that looks only marginally better than vintage 8-bit video. Does the unsubbed version look ok? Also, writing "unsubbed" makes me feel like I'm too close to being in an episode of Criminal Minds.

There will be a depressing number of institutions that say yes or flirt with this, but also doesn't opening up the offer to all-comers so quickly seem just a little thirsty? Like they're putting fascism on sale for 20% off because not enough universities are buying?
