PREVIEW: Introduction to CHINATOWN / The New RP Canon

well, I polled our Twitter followers on which film they wanted us to cover next in our commentary series, and Polanski nation (Poland?) won out decisively, defeating other hot prospects such as Ridley Scott's The Counselor and the enticing "Extreme Prejudice ft. FFF" (the Fuckedman is in tow once again here, and will be joining us as an auxiliary member of the show for at least a majority of our commentaries). join us as we watch a very great film by a very bad man, and talk about important issues such as public ownership of utilities and the Chinese. as is now standard, I'll be posting (almost) the entire intro (plus, on this occasion, the outro) to our free feed [EDIT: this, the thing you are looking at now] as well as a video version of the commentary to this Patreon shortly. we'll be recording something else in the next few days, on which I'll give an update on the status of the podcast and why we've mostly just been doing movie commentaries and shit like that lately. but rest assured that we are deeply committed to building our "New RP Canon" of seminal motion pictures.
