This week we’re breaking the first two rules and talking about Fight Club with the amazing veteran podcaster Elana Levin. Raz was getting over COVID so their voice is a little rough, but we had a great time talking about this classic movie, which actually has some decent lessons for organizing. And a lot of very powerful anti-lessons too. We got into the queerness of this film (happy Pride Month!), how it’s been embraced by the manosphere and evangelical Christians, how to keep your movement from turning into a death cult, and Brad Pitt’s power over straight men (we even got Elana’s husband, a certified Straight Man, to weigh in on the latter).
Elana’s podcast is Graphic Policy Radio.
