  Taps (1981), w/ Jasper Craven | Ep. 72

  Jul 20, 202622 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com<br/><br/><p>Taps was shot at Valley Forge Military Academy, and this episode’s guest is the journalist whose exposé of that school’s hazing and abuse presaged its closing. Jasper Craven’s new book, God Forgives, Brothers Don’t, widens the lens to the whole machinery of American military education, and the echoes between film and reality are uncanny. In the movie, trustees sell the fictional Bunker Hill Academy out from under its cadets. This spring, Valley Forge graduated its final class, with Mary...

  24 (2001–2010) w/ Adam Johnson | Ep. 71

  Jul 5, 202615 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com<br/><br/><p>Fox’s 24 was set to premiere weeks after 9/11. Its first hour blows up a plane, so the network held it back. That delay is the whole show in miniature. It was the post-9/11 show before the letter. Adam Johnson, co-host of Citations Needed and author of How to Sell a Genocide, calls 24 his favorite show of all time and an axiomatically reactionary one, and he holds both views at once. He has spent years on the propaganda beat, and this just mi...

  I, Robot (2004) w/ Max Read | Ep. 70

  Jun 20, 202623 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com<br/><br/><p>Underneath the sneaker product placements and CGI chases through a gleaming 2035 Chicago resides our ever-contested present. Except the film is a mess. The plot wanders, full of dropped threads and convenient or confusing turns. It’s also confused, as if the screenwriters couldn’t decide what they believed and kept writing anyway. Returning guest Max Read, who writes the newsletter Read Max on technology and the strange ways Silicon Valley thinks about itself, is the right person to help us pick thro...

  Seven Days in May (1964) w/ Paul Adlerstein | Ep. 69

  Jun 7, 202620 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com<br/><br/><p>Seven Days in May imagines a four-star general nearly toppling an American president. It gets filed with the era’s paranoid thrillers, but its threat is not the Cold War’s usual one. There are no communist infiltrators, no Manchurian brainwashing. The danger is a hyper-nationalist militarist in uniform convinced the elected government is selling the country out. We recorded in mid-November, at the height of the ICE crackdowns and a moment when the most radical Trumpists seemed to be laying grou...

  Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) w/ Luke Savage | Ep. 68

  May 26, 202615 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com<br/><br/><p>Jacobin staff writer and Michael and Us co-host Luke Savage joins Van and Lyle for a conversation about Peter Weir’s Master and Commander that’s also, inevitably, about Patrick O’Brian. Luke grew up with the Aubrey-Maturin novels. His father handed him the books young, and a distant ancestor, Captain John Maude, commanded a Royal Navy warship in the same era. The connection to this world is personal in a way it rarely is for a guest.</p><p>The film d...
