A lot of folks call critics they don’t like grifters. They grift, apparently, on the culture war surrounding films and media…but very few people can actually explain what a grifter even is or how one becomes a grifter vs a bad critic you don’t like. In this video, we dive into the history of film criticism, the history of grifts surrounding film, as well as organize critics into a set of tiers, each one closer and closer to that designation of “grifter” to determine who is — and who isn’t — a grifter.
Laughing at Eric July’s stupid video.
Enjoy!
Meidas Canada is live!
We are a small, independent team dedicated to the global conversation about resistance in the age of gangster fascism and disinformation. We will shine a spotlight on the MAGA and MAPLE MAGA assault on democracy.
But we also celebrate Canada—the resistance, the resilience, and the people who are holding the line in the fight for democracy and decency.
Subscribe to our network and share your thoughts in the comments. This is a global conversation.
This is resistance without borders.
“CEOs keep DYING and Mainstream Media won’t talk about it” produced by Happy Pancake.
Trump spent the week musing about being a dictator and picking fights with governors over his sudden interest in law and order…even as he refuses to release the Epstien files. There is a real sense that we are the proverbial frog in the pot as the water keeps heating up and millions of our fellow citizens seem to be missing it. Many in the pro-democracy space are baffled by the increasing open authoritarianism of Trump and how so many including the media seem to be completely missing the point. Fred sits down with content creator and journalist Steven Beschloss to discuss the moment. Beschloss has created award-winning content, as a writer, journalist, editor and filmmaker. Consistent in this work is a passion for writing and a belief in the transformative power of story. He applies that in a dozen different ways to our fight for our democracy today and especially through his newsletter ‘America, America’ focused on politics and society, democracy and justice.
The iconic ending speech from ‘The Great Dictator’ (1940) mixed with music and footage from ‘Andor’ (2022). The more overt real-world references were cut so it fits better with Star Wars.
Gen Z are choosing to watch anime way more than they are Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel. The statistics prove it, but…why? What does anime have that Disney, the MCU, and the recent Star Wars sequel trilogy don’t?
There are a lot of people who believe they understand the reasons why, but the truth is far more complicated — and far more simple — than you may realize.
