Michael and Us: Modern Times

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. In this episode, episode #166, we revisited Charlie Chaplin's Sadly Still Relevant® classic MODERN TIMES (1936) to ask: what are the politics of the Little Tramp... and what are the politics of his famous author? We discuss how Chaplin depicted work, class, and poverty, and the many ways that people have interpreted him. PLUS: Joe Biden as FDR (or not), and thee unholy return of Blockbuster Video.
