The Purge: Election Year

The Purge: Election Year

Author: The Corbett Report September 19, 2016 Duration: 40:27
The sElection is upon us and the tensions are rising as the summer of rage gives way to the autumn of our discontent. And wouldn’t you know it, Hollywood is already programming purges, legalized murder and anarchy into the population. This month on Film, Literature and the New World Order James Evan Pilato joins James Corbett to discuss The Purge: Election Year.

A fresh film or book might entertain us, but it often carries a deeper conversation about the world we're building. That's the terrain explored each month on The Corbett Report-Film, Literature and the New World Order. Host James Corbett, alongside a variety of guests, selects a single piece of media-a blockbuster film, a classic novel, or a contemporary work-and meticulously pulls apart its layers. The discussion goes beyond plot summaries or simple reviews. Instead, they look for the underlying messages, the subtle (or not-so-subtle) propaganda, and the connections to larger geopolitical and social narratives. This isn't about finding conspiracies in every frame, but about cultivating a critical eye. By examining the stories we collectively consume, the podcast aims to uncover the real agendas being presented and, occasionally, the genuine solutions that might be hidden within popular culture. It's a monthly exercise in media literacy, prompting listeners to question not just what they're watching or reading, but why that particular story is being told now and what it says about our shared reality. Tune in for a thoughtful, detailed analysis that turns your next trip to the cinema or bookstore into a far more engaging experience.
