Episode: "I'm Calling Bolshevik!"
Description: Blamison dig into the film/propaganda piece known as
Sergei Eisenstein' Oktyabr (1927). While it's no
Bronenosets Potyomkin (1925), we dig into how the film uses editing and montage to create cinema that is certainly decades ahead of its time. This is a jolly episode filled with political and economic opinions that will probably lose us more listeners, but we aren't in it for the money after all.
Also talked about: dat parenting 'bolshevik', silent films and their bombastic music, and we become singular spokesmen for our cities.
Clip from Season 6, Episode 24 of MADTv.
