The LU Boys are joined this week by Dick and Don of the Fourth Reich Archaeology podcast for part one of a two part series on Guy Debord’s 1967 work The Society of the Spectacle and his 1988 followup Comments on the Society of the Spectacle. We use these works as a lens to decrypt the first year of the Trump 2 administration and the explosion of violence and confusion that has followed in its wake.
All interstitial music provided by the excellent Angleton’s Orchids (Don).

This week we return to Iberia in the late 11th century to see how our old pal Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is handling his second brush with exile from the royal court of Alfonso VI. He learned a lot during his first brush with freelance mercenary work, and this time we'll see him put those skills to work as he attempts to realize his loftier ambitions.

This week we settle in to talk movies; specifically, the 1961 historical epic 'El Cid'. Directed by Anthony Mann, and produced by Franco-collaborator Samuel Bronston, this hard-to-find technicolor classic is a prime example of political propaganda on the big screen. Shot largely on-scene in Spain, with 60's heavy-hitters Charlton Heston and Sofia Loren leading a cast that included hundreds of actual Francoist soldiers on loan as extras, there was plenty to admire and critique in equal measure.

This week we continue our look at the life and times of famed Reconquista-era knight and mercenary Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known to posterity by the epithet El Cid. This week we will discuss the Christian response to the collapse of the Caliphate, the rise of the Almoravids, and begin to explore more deeply El Cid’s life and deeds, insofar as we know of them, and will attempt to sift apart truth from legend.

This week, we travel back to the Iberian Peninsula in the 11th Century CE and begin our discussion about one of the most formative events in the Western European historical tradition: The Reconquista. Traditionally, at least to Western historians, this has been a tale of the centuries long triumph of Christianity, Civilization, and Enlightened European Values over the despotic domination of the conquering Muslim hordes. This week we will introduce perhaps the most famous culture hero to emerge from this tumultuous era, El Cid, and explore the world into which he was born.

Happy Juneteenth :)
This week we discuss the proposed EPIC City development in North Texas, and the political and social fallout surrounding that. We also touch on the continuing decline of embattled PA Senator John Fetterman, and our love of Crusader Kings III.

This week, in Part 2 of Cam’s look at the Roanoke Colony, we discuss the realities of colonial life in the Americas, the impact on both the indigenous local peoples and the colonists, and the mysterious disappearance of the Colony, which has never been solved.

Never get involved in a trade war in Asia.
This week is all about tariffs, growing international antagonism by the Trump administration with a particular focus on China, deportations to Salvadoran prisons, and attempts to force leading US Universities to capitulate to presidential demands. It's fun stuff, folks.

This week, we head back to the fabled Age of Exploration, when European monarchs were just catching on to the notion that it might be nice to try and exploit the entire world for financial gain. Using the famed disappearance of the Roanoke Colony as our centerpiece, we will explore the social, religious, and economic circumstances surrounding this time period, before digging in to the actual mystery in Part II next week.

Don your ceremonial garb, fanatics, and once more drink of the kykeon. We are again descending into the hallowed sacrificial caverns to explore the nature of the mystery cults on the island of Britannia, and then we shall explore how the cults of the ancient world would give way to the rise of monotheism.

This week, we discuss restaurant grease traps, the joys of Valentine's Day, Elon Musk's juvenile human shield, and we also say 'obsequious' a lot. Like during editing I realized it's kind of egregious. If you guys correctly count how many times we say it Evan won't go into the light.
P.S. The music is bad on purpose in this one I swear.
