@thepressbox.bsky.social I have a media piss test for you, it’s a little “snake eating its tail” but none the less, Chris Ryan called F1: The Movie “Moneyball on steroids” during this week’s episode of The Rewatchables

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Happiness (1998): Peak turn of the century repression cinema. This feels like the more daring and less palatable version of whatever American Beauty was trying to be.

Matewan (1987): The uphill battle for workers rights is one worth fighting. The destruction of workers solidarity is the great tragedy of the 20th century.

it’s the ur-conspiracy at the base of them all and it’s why even “fun” conspiracies can be a slippery slope because the more you get into conspiratorial thinking the more likely you are to arrive at the same conclusion: everything is because of The Jews
Yes. It is also why so many destructive monstrous conspiracy theories that don’t “start” out anti-Semitic quickly end up that way

It’s just a bigotry that is so fundamental and pure in its evil that you will eventually or quickly get there if you choose to live that kind of life

FIFA just invented its Peace Prize for President Trump.

But this is the story of the innocent professional soccer player and youth coach that this administration had disappeared and tortured.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976): The best part of this is the sense that every interaction on screen is about the power dynamic between the characters, and that violence is lingering just under the surface. Once the violence does boil over, the movie loses its spark.

50 million people in the US don't have enough to eat while as much as 40% of food rots before being eaten. That's equivalent to 120 billion meals a year, which is more than TWICE as much food that'd be needed to feed 50 million Americans 3 times a day for an entire year.

The Fantastic 4: First Steps (2025): While this was on I was hoping for a blast of nostalgia, but I found I was more nostalgic for rap references to the Fantastic 4 than I was for Marvel's First Family. Even though this was mid, my Dr. Doom nostalgia will have me sat for a sequel.
