Summary
The old saying goes that "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." But it helps if the men are very, very stupid. We discuss Martin Scorsese's KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, in which the architect of a Native American genocide finds an easy pawn in one of the lowest-IQ protagonists in movie history.
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.

| 0:00.0 | Well, first of all, we're recording at the Dalton McGinty Studios today, also known as my apartment. |
| 0:20.0 | Luke knows this. We've been with... |
| 0:22.0 | Wait, do I know this? Is this where way I do I know this is this is this is this is where you live I thought this was the Dalton McKinsey studios |
| 0:27.2 | You're not gonna report me to the authorities for living at the workplace are you I always knew you were doing sketchy stuff with your taxes. We've been |
| 0:34.8 | without heat here for much of the last week. It has been restored. It was restored |
| 0:38.9 | yesterday. We're still without electricity in much of the apartment. |
| 0:42.5 | This is kind of a funny story that I want to share with the listeners. |
| 0:45.4 | You see, the furnace system has been a problem on this property for at least the last 14 months. |
| 0:51.0 | And the on-off solution has been, go turn it off turn it on and that for a while |
| 0:55.6 | would last a while and then armies of electricians have come in it's like that's like the |
| 1:01.1 | home heating equivalent of like when your n64 game wouldn't work and you'd blow on the cartridge and then after a while the blowing just stops doing anything if indeed it did anything at all in the first place. |
| 1:10.4 | And the landlord in his infinite wisdom thought, oh well we've got the problem solved. And it's like, again, as the problem has gotten worse and worse, as the on-off solution has been off more and more. And like this was fine during the summer of course because you don't need heat |
| 1:25.8 | don't need heat but in late November it starts to be a bit of a problem and then the on-off solution just stopped |
| 1:30.7 | working and I should say just as a point of information, in the last kind of week, it has really started to feel like late fall to early winter and Toronto. |
| 1:40.0 | Temperatures have gone down quite a lot. |
| 1:41.6 | So the heat just stopped working altogether and negotiating |
| 1:44.8 | with the landlord during this has been a little bit like the dead parrot sketch. Eventually, you know, |
| 1:49.9 | it required a call to the city, let's put it that way. And the short-term |
| 1:53.9 | solution before they could replace the entire furnace was they're going to get us all |
| 1:57.8 | space heaters. So they did that. We all got space heaters and then this is a |
| 2:01.7 | property that's like four floors, there's a unit on every floor so everyone got a space |
| 2:05.9 | heater and everyone had the space heater on and that blew out the electricity and then we said this to the |
