In the aftermath of the tragic and horrendous massacres in New Zealand, we witnessed what you might describe as performative innocence on the part of people who traffic in Islamophobia. However, some young heroes were not having it — yes, we’re talking about Egg Boy and Leen Dweik, two beacons of hope in an otherwise garbage discourse. This week, Francis and Nate discuss why it’s good to confront public figures and terrible politicians, whether it’s speaking to them sternly (in Chelsea Clinton’s case) or decorating them with an egg (in Australian white nationalist senator Fraser Anning’s case). This episode also includes an interview between Nate and Miles Lagoze, the director of the Combat Obscura documentary. Miles explains why he decided to make a feature film out of combat camera footage, why the Marine Corps tried to censor the film, and why his opinions on the war have changed as he’s educated himself. That interview starts at 36:29, and you can stream Combat Obscura here: https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Obscura-Miles-Lagoze/dp/B07N8P93XP/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=combat+obscura&qid=1553089824&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The film’s website is here. For this week’s bonus, Nate and Francis discuss the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic COMMANDO, and ask the important question: is it fascist?
