Reel Politik Podcast

In the continuation of our "New RP Canon" series, Jack, Geraint, Yair and FFF watch Clint Eastwood's 2019 masterpiece RICHARD JEWELL, a searing indictment of an unfeeling deep state, the lying fake news media, and women's duplicitous ways. NEXT IN THE SERIES: We resume our Mel Gibson historical epic season with THE PATRIOT.

We've been doing our "New RP Canon" movie commentary series as Patreon exclusives, but @wariotifo requested that his first pick, Mel Gibson's BRAVEHEART (1995), be released in its entirety for free. Join us as we reject the crooked facts of lying English historians and venture back into the heroic annals of true Scottish history with our good friend Mel. 00:00:00 - intro 00:19:11 - first attempt at commentary/tech issues 00:24:13 - commentary begins in earnest 03:21:13 - outro

with G. Wariotifo mysteriously absent (Taliban?), Reel Politik head honcho Jack Frayne-Reid seizes on the opportunity to hijack the Top Rope Deep Dive wrestling stream to talk about things other than wrestling for an hour and a half WATCH TOP ROPE DEEP DIVE EVERY SUNDAY @ https://www.twitch.tv/MarkedAsRed

well, I polled our Twitter followers on which film they wanted us to cover next in our commentary series, and Polanski nation (Poland?) won out decisively, defeating other hot prospects such as Ridley Scott's The Counselor and the enticing "Extreme Prejudice ft. FFF" (the Fuckedman is in tow once again here, and will be joining us as an auxiliary member of the show for at least a majority of our commentaries). join us as we watch a very great film by a very bad man, and talk about important issues such as public ownership of utilities and the Chinese. as is now standard, I'll be posting (almost) the entire intro (plus, on this occasion, the outro) to our free feed [EDIT: this, the thing you are looking at now] as well as a video version of the commentary to this Patreon shortly. we'll be recording something else in the next few days, on which I'll give an update on the status of the podcast and why we've mostly just been doing movie commentaries and shit like that lately. but rest assured that we are deeply committed to building our "New RP Canon" of seminal motion pictures.

FFF joins me again (not in a numbered episode...because it's just TOO GOOD) for another entry in our ongoing Reel Politik Audio Commentary Series on the movies that made us the foul & debased creatures we are today. This time it's Clint Eastwood's GRAN TORINO (2008), a film about a man and his car, the changing face of the American city, and How Guys Talk To One Another. With a length forty-minute introduction in which we go through pretty much every Clint movie since 2003's MYSTIC RIVER (AKA this free preview) join us as Eastwood novice FFF is introduced to some of the greatest work of a man truly after his own heart.

Farages Fucked Face is back for his fourth appearance on RP in 2025, in a sign of our increasing desperation and inability to book big guests. This time it's a two-hander, in which I sit down with him to watch a documentary about Japanese idol culture, which aired as part of the BBC's Storyville series under the name TOKYO GIRLS in 2017. We do live commentary on the whole film, but before that we chat a little about movies and even some politics.

Lilah @palebloodstasi (formerly @leechwaifu) returns to the show to pay tribute to the great DAVID LYNCH, the indescribable director, writer, sonic sculptor, visual artist, musician, meditation guru, actor and general polymathic artistic genius, who died a month ago on January 15th. In the classic wide-ranging, structureless RP style, we try our best to dig into every obscure nook and cranny of his deceptively vast body of work. while giving ample time to the stuff everyone likes, like Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive. RIP to one of the greats.

in an exclusive preview of an old school Jack/Yair movie chat, Jack talks about how The Hateful Eight has become his favourite film by noted Israel supporter Quentin Tarantino HEAR THE FULL BONUS EPISODE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp322-extra-88-121490669 NEW JFR-CURATED NEIL YOUNG MIXTAPE ALSO EXCLUSIVELY ON THE RP PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/posts/nyaa-vol-1-neil-121498257

With death stalking the land, Jack talks to RP US Correspondent Yair Rice about the start of Donald Trump's second presidential term, his imminent immigration crackdown, the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, and Trump's appointment of Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as "special envoys to Hollywood". Plus, we watch Keir Starmer's message of congratulations to Trump, and look back a decade in Mad Mel's career, to when he benefited from the ludicrous stunt casting of Robert Rodriguez's Machete films.

This bonus episode also features another classic RP Skype screen-share moment as FFF shows Geraint and I a clip from a movie where Matthew Perry teaches some inner-city kids about America's early presidents through the medium of rap music (I, in turn, recommend Bulworth to him, following my earlier recommendation of Cimino's Clint Eastwood-starring directorial debut Thunderbolt & Lightfoot). - JFR

The much-ballyhooed "CHINA CUT" of our most recent episode. ORIGINAL EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In the final part of a trilogy of episodes featuring regular guest Farages Fucked Face, Jack, Geraint and FFF review Michael Cimino's 1985 crime drama YEAR OF THE DRAGON, a film about how the Chinese invented the concept of the mafia a thousand years ago and have been perfecting it ever since, starring Mickey Rourke as the aptly named Captain Stanley WHITE - or, alternately, Agent Jack Decker - on a one-man crusade against the Chinese peril.

In our first newly recorded episode of 2025, the second in a trilogy of episodes with regular guest Farages Fucked Face, Jack shares his screen and the fellas watch the Labour Party's creepy AI-generated propaganda video featuring various anthropomorphic animals representing the different aspects of Labour's policy agenda, and read the lyrics of the song it sparked controversy by featuring: Brazilian musician DJ Holanda's sexually explicit Montagem Coral.

Happy new year from the Reel Politik podcast and all RP Corp affiliates and subsidiaries. In this bit of stream audio from a couple of days ago, RP's Jack Frayne-Reid and Top Rope Deep Dive co-hosts Farages Fucked Face and @MarkedAsRed discuss, in no particular order: the Jekyll/Hyde dynamic of Elon and Adrian Dittmann, the music of Steven Seagal, the anti-Chinese cinematic genius of Michael Cimino's Year Of The Dragon, our attempts to game the YouTube algorithm by slagging off Thom Yorke, fatal wanking accidents, and why Joker 2 is better than "The Batman". We also break the news of Jimmy Carter's death, before any other media outlet did so. FOR ANOTHER 40 MINS FROM THIS CONVO, WHERE WE GET REAL ABOUT ISRAEL, SUBSCRIBE OVER AT PATREON.COM/REELPOLITIK

Jack talks to author Toby Manning (@TobyManning) about his new book Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music, out now from Repeater Books. Naturally, a very JFR-brained understanding of "pop" is applied to the conversation, which focuses on the Rolling Stones and Paul Weller as case studies in the connections between popular music and political ideology. (Couldn't resist getting Toby's thoughts on the Tom York situation at the end.)

In a heated debate, the fellas settle the burning question of our time once and for all: is Eric Clapton better - politically, musically and personally - than Tom York of Radio Head. SUBSCRIBE @ PATREON.COM/REELPOLITIK & HEAR THE FULL HOUR @ https://www.patreon.com/posts/115799124

ORIGINAL CO-HOST TOM FOSTER: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-309-mega-114637979 Original episode descriptions: PART ONE: BRING IT ON DOWN TO HARRY'S PLACE Jack is joined by the Reel Politik Podcast's new Director of Strategy & Communications (Mr Seumas Miwne), Geraint (@wariotifo on Twitter), to go back to the mid-00s heyday of the Sensible/Decent Left, the pro-war ideologues who gave us the Euston Manifesto, the website Harry's Place, and various LM Network-style front organisations. We look at how this tendency of the Crank Centre laid the groundwork for much of the centrist hysteria directed today at the Corbynite left for their foreign policy stances, and how they even chillingly predicted many of the concerns & talking points of what would become known as the alt-right. Many stalwart enemies of the show make appearances, such as Nick Cohen and longtime melt enterprise Little Atoms. PowerBase was an invaluable resource when researching this episode (powerbase.info/index.php/Main_Page) and we'd also like to thank our friend Phil BC for some of his writing on Harry's Place and the hated Decents. PART TWO: HARRY'S PISS AND YOU HAVE THE second instalment of our two-parter on the hated Harry's Place, the pro-war shitrag that set the blogosphere alight in the early to mid 2000s. We conclude our discussion on these horrendous hawk bastards - including their hated affiliate Stephen Pollard - before discussing the hated Frank Field's new Birkenhead Social Justice Party and portrayals of class and "the underclass" in cinema. We play the episode out with a song by the legendary Silver Jews, in tribute to the late, and dearly missed, David Berman.

This was, in my view, a price worth paying to have the chance to chop it up with my good mate Tom once again after what is probably a good couple of years, and to get his thoughts on Francis Ford Coppola's divisive epic MEGALOPOLIS, as well as the upcoming work of Clint Eastwood and the Nick Love/Danny Dyer axis. I also recount my recent discovery of an old article by centrist thought guru Dorian Lynskey where he uses the n-word. Peace + love, JFR
