| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Jacobin Show. I'm Jen Pan. Here of course with my friend Paul Prescott. Paul, what's going on? |
| 0:27.0 | I'm glad to be doing another episode, the best part of my week as always. |
| 0:32.0 | Likewise, likewise. I don't know if any of you watching noticed, we were supposed to have |
| 0:39.0 | Ileane Jones, Jacobin's film critic on today to talk about the uses and abuses of movies and art as propaganda. |
| 0:47.0 | Unfortunately, she had to reschedule, but the good news is we are having on Luke Savage who of course is a Jacobin staff writer. |
| 0:55.0 | He'll be joining us in actually just a few minutes to talk about liberals and why they love losing. |
| 1:01.0 | And I was just saying earlier, we've been trying to get Luke on for a while now. So it's actually really fortuitous that he was able to do this. |
| 1:08.0 | And I think it's going to be a great talk. |
| 1:11.0 | Yeah, he's also a movie buff. So maybe we can stick in some movie questions while we're at it. |
| 1:17.0 | Exactly. Yeah. We'll definitely grill him on what he thought about the new Netflix movie. He's all that. |
| 1:24.0 | So stay tuned for that. Right. Well, we've all been waiting for. |
| 1:28.0 | Yeah. In all seriousness, we will have Ileane Jones back on at some point next month. |
| 1:33.0 | So if you are ready to talk about movies, again, you might hear some of it with Luke, but also please catch Ileane when we have her on later this month. |
| 1:43.0 | Or I'm sorry, it's the end of August. So next month. |
| 1:47.0 | So I also wanted to before we bring Luke on quickly mentioned that next week we are moving our show to air at three p.m. Eastern. |
| 1:57.0 | So you will now have to catch the Jacobin show and all of us at three p.m. |
| 2:02.0 | But you definitely don't want to miss next week because it's going to be a very special episode with the one and only known Chomsky. |
| 2:10.0 | And if you're looking at the graphic, that's right. There might be a special host who you haven't seen in a while. |
| 2:16.0 | So just saying you're not going to want to miss that. Again, that's starting next week. We're going to be broadcasting live at three p.m. Eastern. |
| 2:24.0 | And just to clear up any confusion because I know there have been a few questions. |
| 2:29.0 | The live streams will be free, open to all while they're streaming live. |
| 2:35.0 | If you are a Jacobin YouTube member, you'll be able to access the archive of the live stream after it airs in one unedited chunk without ads. |
