This week, the boys head back to Roman Polanski-ville for the third time to discuss the pivotal 1965 film “Repulsion”. This “dangerous” film is Polanski's first English-language movie, shot in London during the peak of the French New Wave (Polanski is a Polish-French filmmaker). “Repulsion” offers indie-film groundedness, a gritty reality, noir-inspired neorealism, and an upheaval of social values of the time- sexual liberation, classism, irony, and iconoclasm.

Together, they explore questions of the conflicting politics driving the film's delayed release, the conflicting politics within the film itself, and the reasons why the film itself forces a reckoning with the complicated and unpleasant questions it raises.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de Corazón de oro y de Un dios salvaje. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Un Dios Salvaje" Célebre obra de la dramaturga francesa Yasmina Reza que fue estrenada en 2006 y que Roman Polanski llevó al cine en 2011. Ahora podemos disfrutar de esta trepidante comedia negra en el Teatro Alcázar (c/ Alcalá, 20), que está celebrando este año su centenario, hasta junio de 2026. Tamzin Townsend dirige al elenco conformado por Luis Merlo, Natalia Millán, Juanan Lumbreras y Clara Sanchís, que dan vida a los dos matrimonios que se reúnen, en la casa de uno de ellos, para hablar de un incidente entre sus hijos. Uno de los niños, de nueve años, ha golpeado al de la otra pareja en el parque. Todo empieza de manera cordial, excusándose y alegando que ambos son niños. La tolerancia y la comprensión aflora entre los padres de las criaturas, pero a medida que avanza la conversación, la actitud va cambiando y cada uno va tomando partido por su hijo. El civismo se pierde y da paso a un enfrentamiento verbal en defensa de sus respectivos vástagos que deriva en un todos contra todos, incluso dentro de las parejas. Es el momento en el que emerge, en cada uno de los personajes, ese Dios Salvaje que se revela contra la insatisfacción en sus vidas. Entrevistamos a Clara Sanchís. "Corazón de oro" Hoy nos vamos hasta el salvaje oeste norteamericano. Un western que enmarca una historia de amistad, de amor y, sobre todo, de bondad. ¿Qué papel tuvieron los españoles en la conquista del lejano oeste? Editado por Planeta, "Corazón de oro" es la nueva novela de Luz Gabás, a quien entrevistamos. Vuelve con este nuevo libro después de que ganara el Premio Plantea en 2022con "Lejos de Lusiana".

 *NEW!* On this episodes annotated deep dive, The Cultists present Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (1999).  A slow and cozy burn of paranoia through warm-lit and dusty streets, The Ninth Gate tells that classic tale of a bored and bitter book dealing mercenary who happens upon an ancient esoteric puzzle concealed in the pages of the text — a one shot, all-consuming mystery that many a mad man has tried to solve for centuries — but that Johnny Depp's Robert/Dean/Lucas Corso might happen to solve instead through sheer divine apathy. (Albeit with a heavy green-eyed stalker assist). Curiously based on only half of Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel, The Dumas Club, (and on the B plot of the novel at that), Polanski's adaptation transforms Reverte's postmodern parable about the dangers of of looking too closely at a text, into a modernist love letter to the practice of… looking too closely at a text.  Topics Include: Comparisons to The Dumas Club and the details from the novel that help shape the more esoteric parts of the film; the book market value of all those old tomes; the abstract tradition of Grimoires; the occult golden age of Prague; fallen angels, The Grigori , and other lesser diablos; the paradox of making a modernist film out of a postmodern source, and a (somewhat brief) history of the devil, or how satan(s) became Satan. Episode Safeword: Salvation

When it originally was released, it couldn't find an American distributor (and likewise was shunned by streaming services), a consequence of the MeToo moment meeting Polanski's criminal past—in 1978 he fled to Europe after being indicted for the rape of a 13 year-old girl in the United States. Polanski's past is particularly relevant for his film about the falsely accused Jewish officer in the French military, to whom, in publicity materials circulated when An Officer and a Spy came out in Europe in 2019, the director explicitly compared himself.Of course, we couldn't possibly have had on any other guest than John Ganz to help us understand the politics of the Dreyfus affair, both in 1895 and 2025, and what to make of Polanski's cinematic rendering of it. Topics include: Polanski's life and crimes; Hannah Arendt's treatment of the Dreyfus affair in The Origins of Totalitarianism; anti-semitism in 19th and early 20th century France; the way Polanski largely ignores the political convulsions caused by the Dreyfus affair, instead handling it more as a crime procedural, and why he might have done so; and more.Sources:John Ganz, "Reading, Watching," Unpopular Front, Aug 10, 2025— "Gramscians vs Sorelians," Unpopular Front, Jan 23, 2021— "The Third Republic and Today," Unpopular Front, Jan 27, 2021— "The Century of Rubbish," Unpopular Front, Feb 2, 2021— "From Republic to Reaction," Unpopular Front, Feb 4, 2021David Bell, "An Officer and a Spy," H-France, March 2021Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

They're joined by writer and producer Bryan Cogman, who may be one of the few people to have actually seen the film in theaters.The conversation dives into Polanski's unexpected choice to follow The Pianist with this family-oriented Dickens adaptation, why it feels strangely muted compared to both the director's darker films and other Dickens adaptations, and how Ben Kingsley's nuanced turn as Fagin stands out amidst an otherwise flat production.

Is the convicted sex criminal Roman Polanski worth defending? Particularly in the context of “An Officer and a Spy”, his vaguely autobiographical 2019 movie about the Dreyfus case, the first Polanski film in a decade to be shown in the United States. Writing in Liberties Quarterly, Charles Taylor answers yes, intelligently making the case that we should concentrate on evaluating Polanski's art rather than his crimes. But I wonder about the wisdom of Polanski making a film about, of all things, the Dreyfus Affair - the celebrated 19th century French case of the persecution of an innocent Jewish military officer. Taylor's Liberties piece is entitled “Polanski's Nation of Pain” in reference to the manifold tragedies of the filmmaker's life. But there's also the unimaginable pain Roman Polanski has inflicted on any number of innocent women and girls. No, I don't think I'll be paying to see “An Officer and a Spy”. Not even if it's a good movie. 1. The Separation Dilemma Can we truly separate art from artist? Taylor argues yes - judging work solely on artistic merit regardless of the creator's character. But this becomes harder when the artist may be using their platform to craft narratives about innocence and persecution.2. Subject Matter Matters Polanski's choice to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair - a famous case of false accusation and the persecution of an innocent man - feels particularly tone-deaf given his own history of victimizing others. The "what" an artist chooses to explore can't be divorced from the "who" is exploring it.3. Cultural Gatekeeping vs. Access There's tension between those who believe controversial artists' work should still be available to audiences (let people decide for themselves) and those who argue that some crimes should disqualify someone from cultural participation and profit.4. The Victim's Paradox Even Samantha Geimer, Polanski's victim, has spoken against his continued prosecution - yet this doesn't resolve the broader question of accountability. Individual forgiveness doesn't necessarily translate to cultural rehabilitation.5. Economic Ethics Beyond just artistic judgment lies the question of financial support. You can acknowledge artistic skill while refusing to economically reward it - choosing not to pay for tickets becomes a form of moral statement separate from aesthetic evaluation.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

One of the fascinating ironies about Los Angeles is that it is often movies in heightened genres like noir that best capture what the city really feels like to those born and raised in it (like this podcaster). Movies like Billy Wilder's acidic Hollywood takedown classic Sunset Boulevard and Roman Polanski's & Robert Towne's 70's new cinema classic Chinatown show sides of the city with a denizen's inside baseball knowledge. But there's also a neorealist strain in the films of John Cassavettes, Charles Burnett, and others that shows Los Angeles from a working class and middle class ground level. The way we actually live our life here. And finally, oddly, 60's and 70's B movies like 1977's totally couldn't be made today "The Van" show LA as it is because the moviemakers couldn't afford a budget to dress it up. They just shot what they could and captured LA without any soft lighting or makeup.  Join Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill (a 4th generation Los Angelino) as we discuss some of the known and underground gems that shine a real light on the city we who live here love.

La muerte del guionista y director Robert Towne coincidió con el 50º aniversario del estreno de “Chinatown” (1974) de Roman Polanski, el film que le hizo alcanzar la cima como escritor. Fue un homenaje que el nuevo Hollywood le brindó al cine negro, uno de los géneros que brillaron durante la era dorada, revitalizándolo al darle un enfoque más moderno y complejo. “Chinatown” consagró a Jack Nicholson como una gran estrella y confirmó a Faye Dunaway como una de las actrices más importantes de la década de los setenta. Fue una de esas películas que se rodaron entre trincheras, con el set siendo lo más parecido a un campo de batalla, pero el resultado final no solamente está por encima de los conflictos sino que no entenderíamos el cine policíaco y político posterior sin su existencia.

1920's German expressionist The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari did more than inspire a whole kind of cinema-it also became the great-grandparent of a genre. The mind-bending dive into the psyche genre that saw three of its greatest examples all influence each other: Ingmar Bergman's 1966 Persona which begat in many ways Robert Altman's 1977 3 Women. And all those movies consciously or unconsciously begat David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at the journey of inspiration of all these movies as well as side trips to other great examples of the genre like David Fincher's Fight Club, Roman Polanski's Repulsion, and Darren Aronovsky's Black Swan.

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

On the surface, “Rosemary's Baby” is a horror film about a woman who gets taken advantage of by a satanic cult and impregnated by the Devil. In the end, it seems to be a satire on the competing entrapments of domesticity and ambition, and the boring conventionality of people who hope that opposition to convention will allow them to retrieve their lost youth.

Mama Cass' role as Hollywood's hippie den mother pulled her into the orbit of troubling company during the “Summer of Love.” The former singer of The Mamas and the Papas thrived in Laurel Canyon's social circles, which included her close friend Sharon Tate and Sharon's husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski. But Cass' alleged involvement in some of the long rumored-hedonistic events put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Decades later, there's plenty to debunk about the final years of Mama Cass' life— including a silly, fat-shaming myth surrounding her death that has persisted for nearly 50 years.

Sharon Tate was a sophisticated beauty who literally stopped traffic when she walked down the street. She began her movie career when America was becoming sexually liberated, and despite the ease with which she was made a sex symbol, she aspired to be respected as a serious actress. Decades later, however, she is perhaps best-remembered as one of the victims found brutally murdered at her Cielo Drive home, the one she shared with her husband, director Roman Polanski. Sharon and Roman welcomed regular guests to that home, including Sharon's friend, Mama Cass Elliot, who was at the center of the Manson murders and whose actions may be why the motive for the murders that America has come to accept as fact is actually false.
