    ECL: The X-Files - American Mythology (Halloween Special with Jefferson Lee and Josh Neal)
    Jan 31 2023
    For this Halloween special, the trio of Jefferson, Josh and Tyler reunite to discuss the long-running Sci-fi/Horror/Thriller series "The X-Files". We analyze Sculder and Mully as two sides of the American archetype, the changing face of Horror from the 90s to now, the fading appeal of the X files to demographics and the explosion of populist sentiment (with the concomitant 'omnipresence' of conspiracy thinking) in America, the presence of the frontier in the American mindset with the show's unique dwelling on local monsters, the aspects of the show that could not be made today, the virtues of the Syndicate, and finally, how the X-Files is the ultimate expression of American Mythology in a time of De-mythologization. If the primary neurosis of Western Culture today is the false elevation of individual self-knowledge and assertion, it is a crucial reminder that "the Truth is out there".

    ECL: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
    Jan 31 2023
    Tyler and Last Things discuss the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) sequel, a follow-up to the original film that ignores any of the myriad of sequels, prequels and reboots. While the film is both mediocre with lots of missed potential, we explore the film's strong Reactionary themes.

    ECL: The Host (2006)
    Dec 1 2022
    Tyler is joined by special guest Last Things to discuss Bong Joon-ho's 2006 genre bending Monster film "The Host". We discuss the politics of manufactured social division, the presence and impact of American forces in Korea, the family dynamics of the lower and middle class, and the very obvious thematic connections in the film to the current COVID hysteria in the West.
