Exactly one year after the killing of United "Healthcare" CEO Brian Thompson, the PG crew looks back on one year of Luigi Mangione. They recap what's happened in the case so far, shout out Luigi's biggest supporters, and give updates on what's happening in Luigi's trio of court dates this week. At issue is the evidence police collected from Luigi's backpack upon his arrest in Altoona, PA, which the defense is moving to have excluded because the police did not read him his Miranda rights as required by law.

The crew also announces an exciting new project from the December 4th Legal Committee, namely, a book! Depose: Luigi Mangione and the Right to Health, due out this coming May from Ill Will Editions, examines the public reaction to Luigi Mangione's alleged crime, placing it within the great western tradition of tyrannicide (the killing of a tyrant) and laying out a roadmap for how Americans could use this as a jumping off point to create a mass movement to guarantee everyone the right to health, once and for all. The lion's share of the royalties will be split between the Luigi Mangione Legal Defense Fund and other health justice projects.

Socialism is in the news this week! The PG crew breaks down the bizarre Trump-Mamdani summit during which the president made it very clear that he has a crush on the democratic socialist mayor-elect of NYC. What the heck was that, and will it ultimately be a net positive, negative, or neutral? Meanwhile, 86 Democrats voted for the house bill condemning socialism, an idea that "only" one third of Americans support, according to recent polling. PS: We remembered to read the patrons' names this time. :)

The Party Girls are Joined by sex workers' rights advocates Elene Lam and Chanelle Gallant to discuss their book “Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant Sex Workers Fighting for Justice” out now with Haymarket Books. In this episode, Jamie and Sam explore the ways in which migrant sex workers have pushed back against state repression and how their stories, expertise and forms of life can be a beacon that lights the way for all of us as we seek to undermine the state’s capacity to surveil our movements.

Elene Lam is the founder of Butterfly, a support network for Asian and migrant sex workers.

Jamie reports LIVE from the COMMUNIST CORRIDOR of NYC on the election of New York's first socialist mayor since 1993, youngest mayor since 1892, first ever Muslim mayor, and most importantly, first mayor with a rap career Zohran Mamdani (learn to say it). What does it mean that America's most important city elected a democratic socialist mayor? Are there openings to make the "commie corridor" real, or is this just more electoralist recuperation? How butthurt are the Cuomos right now? Jamie and Sam discuss.

The PG crew tackles a classic Halloween movie that captured our hearts and bent our minds when we were in high school: Donnie Darko (2001). In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along the way. Have a spooky Halloween!

The Party Girls crew takes on Paul Thomas Anderson's epic "taken" tale with revolutionary flavor, One Battle After Another (2025). In this comedic thriller, an aging burnout and former member of revolutionary group The French 75 (Leonardo DiCaprio) must spring into action with the help of his local karate sensei/migrant defense organizer (Benicio del Toro) when his daughter (Chase Infiniti) is kidnapped by an ICE goon/aspiring member of the white power elite (Sean Penn). Did we like the way revolutionaries are portrayed in this movie? One thing's for certain: between this and Eddington, we're all up in the zeitgeist.

Maxelle Talena of Dysphoria and Affiliated w/ Maxelle Talena joins the program to discuss the recent rash of anti-trans memos from the White House and right-wing efforts to paint trans people as domestic terrorists and mass shooters, even seeking to deny trans people their 2A rights. How should we situate these rising threats? We also discuss Tyler Robinson's alleged partner/roommate Lance, and how they might have the most hated identity of all: landlord.

Jamie and Sam tackle some not-so-great news, including: the death of Assata Shakur, the highly suspicious "anti-ICE" shooting, Sam's firsthand experience of ICE storm troopers in Chicago, the government shutdown, and Trump's anti-anti-fascist memos which single out both the Stop Cop City movement and supporters of Luigi Mangione, among other groups. Is it time for the Party Girls to flee to Cuba?
