  • Bonus Episode! Pistachio Wars (2024) w/ Rowan Wernham | Ep. 11
    Free bonus episode!If you’re like us, many terrible things have been front of mind lately: California wildfires, overdevelopment in unsuitable locales, billionaire corruption, and the climate crisis to name a few. Lucky for us that Rowan Wernham, the co-writer and director of a 2024 documentary called Pistachio Wars, joins us to talk about how all of that converges. You might not think of those issues as constituting war in the traditional sense, but they sure do amount to a class war, from above. And as we discuss in the episode, California’s favorite agricultural oligarchs actually do play a role in American militarism, especially toward Iran!

  • Paths of Glory (1957) w/ Daniel Larison | Ep. 10
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.comVan and Lyle kick off their first of many Kubrick features with a splendid and superb discussion of the auteur’s WW1-era classic, Paths of Glory. And in case you’re wondering why we describe the discussion in these terms, that’s because such language—in all its freakish loftiness—infuses the film from start to finish. French generals in chateaus sacrifice their men in the trenches while boasting about how they love “to create a pleasant atmosphere in which to work.” Frontline tours are peppered with patronizing commands to “be good to your rifle so that your rifle will be good to you,” just as this same high-level brass demean their troops as contaminants and scum. It isn’t long before the viewer realizes they’re watching a class war just as much as any other kind of war, and we bring on longtime antiwar critic Daniel Larison to make sense of the tension…as well as the not so understated satire that ensues.Further ReadingEunomia, Daniel’s newsletterCrashing the War Party, yet another newsletter and podcast hosted by Daniel and Kelley Vlahos“Paths of Glory: ‘We Have Met the Enemy…’ ,” by James NaremoreThe Casualty Gap, by Douglas Kriner and Francis ShenPaths of Glory TrailerTeaser From the Episode

  • Live! Private Valentine (2008) w/ Colette Shade | Ep. 9
    The pod has finally found a woman to join Van and Lyle in their Dudes Rock Extravaganza. And she is the wife of Lyle. Or perhaps more in keeping with a recurring theme in this episode, Lyle is the husband of the far more successful and accomplished author, Colette Shade. And Colette has much to say about the epic, late Y2K-era stink bomb, Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous (aka Major Movie Star). A movie so awful that despite it being released at the height of Jessica Simpson’s fame, it went straight to DVD—granted, after a brief theatrical debut in Russia and Bulgaria. Why, you might ask, do we find this forgettable cultural artifact worthy of our attention in 2025? Because why not. Because it’s our show. And because, against all odds, worthwhile insights about class, gender, and our securitized political economy can still be salvaged from the cinematic wreckage.Further ReadingY2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was) (Audible edition), by Colette ShadeColette’s Website with tour schedule“Retrospective Review: ‘Private Benjamin’ at 40,” by Valerie KalfrinPrivate Valentine TrailerFull Private Valentine Episode This is a public episode.

  • Ender's Game (2013) w/ Alexander McCoy | Ep. 8
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.bangbangpod.com“When I understand my enemy well enough to defeat him, then in that moment, I also love him.” So begins the 2013 film adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s classic sci-fi novel Ender’s Game. Neither achieving box office nor critical success, the movie still evokes a wide range of reactions. Especially when it comes to its ambiguous relationship to the origin…

  • Cross of Iron (1977) w/ Adrian Bonenberger | Ep. 7
    Auteur Sam Peckinpah is most famous for The Wild Bunch, his blistering take on the Western. Few outside the aficionados bother to mention Cross of Iron, Peckinpah’s foray into the Good War, and one that earned him pans upon its initial release. Yet despite its rough start and later relegation to mass cultural obscurity, the work has rightfully garnered a committed if dwindling following. Including some of the most accomplished filmmakers of our time. Van and Lyle welcome author and combat vet Adrian Bonenberger onto the show to make sense of the glorious, no-holds-barred mess. And why it still haunts us with its cackle.Further Reading“All Loud on the Eastern Front: Peckinpah’s Cross of Iron Revisited,” by Andrew StimpsonThe Road Ahead, edited by Adrian Bonenberger and Brian CastnerThe Disappointed Soldier, by Adrian BonenbergerAfghan Post, by Adrian BonenbergerThe Wrath-Bearing TreeCross of Iron TrailerTeaser from the EpisodeBang-Bang only exists because of its patrons.
