Episode 6: BPM (2017)

Hal and Craig discuss Robin Campillo’s BPM, an unflinching look at grassroots activism during the height of the AIDS epidemic, following members of Act Up Paris in the early 1990s as they plan direct action against the pharmaceutical companies and politicians who exacerbated the crisis. Other topics of conversation include:

• Our Top 5 Movies of 2022;

• Craig is exasperated at why none of the characters in Godfather III were weirded out by the film’s cousin/cousin romance;

• Hal explains Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ attempts to give himself sweeping executive power;

• DeSantis’ war on public education;

• And the return of our OG Conservative Reaction segment: “Did Armond White Like This Movie?”
