Cars and Comrades

We're back from a hiatus with a news episode. This one was supposed to have Alex on as our newest full-time host, but his recording got lost and we didn't have a backup, so we edited him out, like he was never there in the first place.Main topic at 45:45Sources/Links:https://www.jalopnik.com/1805957/cybertruck-owner-writes-congressman-telsa-hate/ //https://www.pcworld.com/article/2657861/is-your-phone-secretly-listening-to-you-heres-a-simple-way-to-find-out.html //https://www.theautopian.com/more-americans-are-missing-their-car-payments-than-any-time-in-30-years/ //https://www.theautopian.com/the-new-yugo-looks-too-cool-to-be-a-joke/ //Why The Yugo ISN'T The Worst Car Ever https://youtu.be/Z2demeWsQdw //https://www.npr.org/2025/03/06/g-s1-52365/south-korea-pocheon-accidental-bombing-fighter-jets-us-exercises //https://guerrillahistory.libsyn.com/korea-war-games-trumps-rhetoric-on-the-dprk-more-w-ju-hyun-park-of-nodutdol //Americans Are Seeing the REAL China on RedNote https://youtu.be/25asz5v04YU //https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City //Creepypasta about Kowloon Walled City https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-184 //Alert: Spotify is deleting some of our episodes for using copyrighted music.

We're back after a hiatus with the story of how a tire company got into the business of restaurant reviews, with our guest Hugo from Seize the Means Shirts. Hugo has done it all: fancy waiter, real estate agent, purveyor of tshirts, and most importantly, anti-capitalist puppeteer.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, we explore the cultural impact of the 2001 film The Fast and the Furious, diving into its portrayal of car culture and masculinity. Joined by Zach, Connor, Bryant and Brandon from Cars and Comrades, we dissect the film's iconic racing scenes and memorable characters, debating the significance of vehicles like the Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline. We examine the evolution of the franchise from street racing to grand action heists, and analyze themes of loyalty and exploitation through the lens of Dom Toretto and Brian O’Conner’s relationship. Additionally, we reflect on early 2000s fashion, memorable quotes, and the film's legacy, teasing exciting crossover potential for future installments.Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojectorCars and Comrades links: http://www.linktr.ee/CarsAndComrades

Some products deserve one star reviews, but sometimes the customer is wrong. We found a few examples of the latter case. But first: Zach is in trouble with HR, Conner gets heated, Bryant buys tires (and is tired), and Brandon tries to Fit in with the import scene.Main topic at 1:12:09Alert: Spotify is deleting some of our episodes for using copyrighted music.
