In the discussion of fascism and authoritarianism in cinema (and in real life), it's impossible to not discuss conspiracy theories. Over the past few years, conspiratorial ideas is almost hat in hand with the politics of the time.

Our films this episode are Oliver Stone's "JFK", Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and Ari Asher's "Eddington". I hope you enjoy, and don't get too lost!The end credits track is my composition, "Minimalist Suspense".You can read more of my thoughts regarding "Eyes Wide Shut" and its connections to Jeffrey Epstein here.You can read my blog outlining my thoughts after the 2024 election here.In July 2025, I wrote about my dive into conspiracy theories here.Fascism in Cinema SeriesEpisode 162 - Resistance to Fascism in CinemaEpisode 166 - Fascism in Cinema: CopagandaEpisode 170 - Fascism in Cinema: Bad FaithEpisode 175 - Fascism in Cinema: The Fourth EstateEpisode 176 - Fascism in Cinema: Action NationalismEpisode 183 - Fascism in Cinema: Past Future Present

In this twelfth episode, host Emily Harwitz takes a closer look at the fuel that drives conservation. Funding, of course, is essential, and two of the main sources of conservation funding are government agencies and philanthropy. Today's guests—Ben Friedman and Geenah Leslie—are experts in those areas, from the state and federal levels to the local level. They're also experts at cultivating relationships, because that's the real foundation of this work: building relationships based on shared values and a commitment to making the world a better place, for all of us. From what's in the upcoming Proposition 4 Climate Bond to the many benefits our urban trees provide, we hope this final episode of Season 4 gives you lots to be hopeful for. Ben Friedman is the government affairs and public grants officer of Save the Redwoods League. Prior to the League, Ben led grantmaking in California for Western Conservation Foundation. He also has worked at the Wilderness Society and on Capitol Hill on the House Committee for Natural Resources. Ben's education background is in geology and environmental management. In his spare time, Ben likes going to the beach with his wife Lauren and his dog Lobo, and baking seasonal pies. Geenah-Marie Leslie (she/her) was born and raised in the ancestral lands of the Tongva People, presently known as Los Angeles. As the proud child of Jamaican immigrants, she was brought up to believe that she should never allow her gender or the color of her skin deter her from pursuing her wildest dreams. Her passion for the healing benefits of nature and connecting People of Color to the outdoors led to her working in the environmental justice field. In her professional tenure, she has played a crucial role in donor relations, fund development, and piloting successful community engagement initiatives. Her free time is typically spent by large bodies of water, listening to an Afrofuturistic audiobook, or psp-psp-psping a cat on the street. Find her on Instagram @geenah_leslie or on LinkedIn

In this video, we'll be delving deep into Martin Scorsese's thought-provoking masterpiece, "Silence." This film is a testament to Scorsese's own faith, as well as a meditation on themes of faith, doubt, and the devout nature of his filmmaking as a Catholic. Follow Clayton Davis All Social Media Platforms: @ByClaytonDavis Variety: https://variety.com/author/clayton-davis/ Martin Scorsese, an iconic director known for classics like "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas," took a significant departure from his usual gangster genre with "Silence." Released in 2016, this epic work is a cinematic adaptation of Shusaku Endo's novel of the same name. At its heart, "Silence" is a story of two Jesuit priests, Father Rodrigues and Father Garupe, portrayed by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, who embark on a perilous mission to find their mentor, played by the incredible Liam Neeson, in 17th century Japan, a country where Christianity is outlawed. As a devout Catholic, the themes of faith, doubt, and the silent presence of God have long been a central part of Scorsese's life. In this video, we'll explore how his faith has influenced not only the making of this film but also his entire cinematic career. We'll also examine how the film addresses the complex interplay between faith, cultural differences, and the clash of belief systems, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of rural Japan. Martin Scorsese's personal connection to the material shines through, making this work a testament to his lifelong exploration of faith, doubt, and the human condition. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the devout nature of Scorsese's filmmaking and the profound themes at the heart of "Silence."

On March 30, 1981 President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. Hinckley believed that assassinating a living President would impress actress Jodie Foster.

The U.S. military has over 270,000 troops currently deployed across the globe, including in 17 countries that the public up until now didn't even know about. Our guest this week, Ben Friedman, a senior analyst with Defense Priorities, takes on the Washington shibboleth that we couldn't possibly start bringing any of those troops home — particularly the thousands in the Middle East and Europe — because they would leave "power vacuums." He argues that even if there is a "security gap" left in our place, there are regional powers that can step into the breach. In the first segment, Daniel and Kelley talk about the demise of 'interim president' Juan Guaido of Venezuela.More from Ben Friedman:When courting quasi-allies like Ukraine becomes a moral hazard, with Natalie Armbruster, Responsible Statecraft, 12/28/22Don't fear vacuum: it's safe to go home, Defense Priorities, 12/7/22The case for getting rid of the National Security Strategy, with Justin Logan, War on the Rocks, 11/4/22 This is a public episode.

This week, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman reiterated the U.S. Nuclear Posture Review, which states that "the United States would only consider the employment of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States, its allies, and partners. Extreme circumstances could include significant non-nuclear strategic attacks." Natalie Armbruster of Defense Priorities joins us this week to talk about who is formally a US ally — and not — and how over the years Washington has built a web of entangling alliances of different formalities and caliber, drawing the US into fights and causing others that have no real basis in the U.S. national interest. In the second segment, Kelley & Dan talk about the U.S. 101st Airborne Division on the border with Ukraine, and the progressives going wobbly on diplomacy.More from Natalie: Who is an ally and why does it matter? — w/ Ben Friedman, Defense Priorities, 10/12/22The 2023 Defense Authorization risks more of the same — Instick Media, 8/4/22Biden shouldn't put American lives on the line to defend the United Arab Emirates — Business Insider, 6/14/22Apply the logic of the Afghanistan withdrawal to Syria — Defense Priorities, 3/7/2022 This is a public episode.

People are traveling again, but not many hotel chains focused on Millennial and Gen Z customers have achieved a global scale. Selina is hoping to be that company. It signed a $996 million combination agreement with BOA Acquisition Corp. in December 2021 and it is now approaching its close. This week we speak with Selina CEO and Co-Founder Rafael Museri and BOA President and CFO Ben Friedman.

And, how its asset-light approach has put profitability squarely in its sights without sacrificing growth.
Is Russia poised to invade Sweden or Finland? Likely not. So what problem does adding both countries to NATO solve? Furthermore, how much is the U.S. willing to defend these countries down the road? Kelley and Dan talk to Cato Institute's Justin Logan about why offering them membership is an "impetuous move" that will likely cost more than the immediate benefit. In the first segment, we explore the potential disaster that awaits the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles this month, as several Latin American leaders have threatened to boycott the annual event because Biden insists on playing the "democracies versus autocracies" game.More from Justin Logan:The Case against Finland Joining NATO --The National Interest, with Ben Friedman, 5/22/22We’re Not All Ukrainians Now -- Politico Europe, 5/17/22Ukraine Has a Right to Fight for Its Survival, but the US Can’t Take on Unlimited Risk to Help It Do So -- Business Insider, with Gil Barndollar, 4/28/22 This is a public episode.

This week Ben Friedman, policy director for Defense Priorities, joins Dan and Kelley to talk about the ongoing struggle of restraint amid the mainstream push for an aggressive response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He talks about recent decisions to send more U.S. weapons to Kiev, and efforts by hawks in the U.S. to do more, including imposing a no-fly zone and sending Polish fighter aircraft (MiG-29s) into Ukraine via Germany. We also talk about the effort to marginalize, even demonize voices who question the utility of such endeavors. In the first segment, Dan and Kelley talk about the Russians flinging a monkey wrench into the Iran nuclear deal talks and whether the JCPOA may possibly be doomed. More from Ben Friedman here.
