Note: In this episode, Jamie refers to Community Movement Builders as a black-led organization. It is, in fact, an all-black organization.

Jamie speaks with a forest defender named Sara about the battle to keep 300 acres of publicly owned forest land in Atlanta from being turned into a Hollywood sound stage and a mock city for the cops to practice killing people in.
Jamie and Aaron frame the interview with some discussion, with Aaron lending his expertise as an Atlanta resident.

Friend of the show Alex Gendler (@achilleselbow) joins us to discuss Adam Curtis's latest BBC docu-series, "Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone: What it felt like to live through the collapse of communism and democracy." Lacking the distinctive voiceovers and musical cues of Curtis's other films, this series relies solely on footage captured by BBC film crews as the Soviet Union collapsed and was swiftly replaced by a hyper-capitalist, authoritarian oligarchy. Did he get it right? Is it art? Do we miss the Nine Inch Nails interludes? Our resident former Soviet citizen unpacks.
NOTE: Aaron's internet went out, so he had to drop off early.
Outro: Gold Panda, "Same Dream China"

Jamie and Aaron discuss "Emily the Criminal" (2022), the new movie starring and produced by Aubrey Plaza and directed by John Patton Ford. In this gritty, low budget thriller, a 30-something art school drop-out (Plaza) with $70,000 of student loan debt and a minor criminal record breaks bad after a sexy swindler (Theo Rossi) introduces her to the lucrative world of credit card fraud. Is this an anti-capitalist film, or merely a slice of reality? Either way, we like it.
Spoiler alert for this movie, obviously, but also season two of "White Lotus."

Jake Flores (@feraljokes) of Pod Damn America (@PodDamnAmerica) joins Jamie to discuss the hit Netflix series "Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" (yes, that's the real title). What lessons can we, as commies and abolitionists, take from these awful events? We also discuss true crime and why it's so popular among normie women, but also, seemingly everyone.

Max Alvarez (@maximillian_alv) and Mel Buer (@mel_buer) of The Real News Network (@TheRealNews) join the crew to discuss US rail workers' struggle for paid sick days and other markers of basic dignity. How did things get so bad, and how are railroad companies fucking over not just their own workers, but the economy in general? What could Biden and the Democrats have done to help, and what did they actually do?
Stay tuned for part 2, out Wednesday!
