Folge vom 13.01.2022Michael and Us: 300th Episode SpectacularTo mark a very special milestone, we decided to reach back to early in the podcast's history and revisit MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA (2004). Mimicking Moore's own filmmaking style, this amateurish documentary sees a conservative man go on a cross-country journey to land and interview with Michael himself. We discuss why this piece of right-wing kitsch has remained so firmly lodged in our minds, and why it is such a product of its time.Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
