“We don’t get a lot of things to care about.”
One thing we don’t care much about this year is the Oscars, especially given the lack of love for one of the best films of last year: Pig (2021).
We got a lot of things to care about from Pig, and we’re excited to come back from our hiatus to share them with you all!
The film follows an Oregonian truffle hunter (Nicolas Cage) on a search to find his stolen, beloved foraging pig—a mission that transforms into a journey for him and his companions to confront long-held grief and loss.
We discuss the outstanding performances in this movie, the film’s poignant meditations on pain and isolation, and our appreciation for short movies.

Episode 15—Modern Times: I Dream of Comedy in Long Shot
In the final installment of our series on labor, we examine Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 film Modern Times, the Tramp’s last film appearance and the only time where audiences heard the iconic silent character’s voice.
In this episode, we contemplate Chaplin as a talented artist, modern philosopher, and flawed individual. We compare Modern Times to contemporary films, analyze its humanist vision for meaning in a machine world, and reveal the extent of Frankee’s love for Charlie Chaplin movies.
“Buck up - never say die. We’ll get along!”
Wrapping our series on labor, we examine Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 film Modern Times, the Tramp’s last film appearance. We compare the movie to contemporary films, analyze its humanist vision for meaning in a machine world, and reminisce on Frankee’s lifelong love for Charlie Chaplin.
