6. Tokyo Sonata Review: Work, Gender, Family, It's All A Performance
<p>Tokyo Sonata is a very campy and candid examination of how the conditions of this uncertain capitalist era negatively affect the work person. Beyond that, it's a film which showcases how the strict institutions and traditions of our societies (school, gender norms, familial based traditions, and capitalistic order) harm the well-being of those who unquestionably subscribe to their rigid order. Tokyo Sonata, and the sources I used to build my understanding of contemporary capitalist Japan, made me realize something deeply unsettling:<strong> </strong>we are incredibly performative in our daily lives. In this episode I explain what is meant by the "performance" and why it's so horrific that we fail to challenge or question its existence in our day to day life. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Sources:</strong></p> <p><strong>Dazed. “How Japan's 90s Teen Delinquency CRISIS Inspired a Wave of Killer Movies.” </strong><strong>Dazed</strong><strong>, 2 Dec. 2020, </strong><a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/51285/1/japan-90s-teen-delinquency-crisis-killer-movies-j-horror-battle-royale"><u><strong>www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/51285/1/japan-90s-teen-delinquency-crisis-killer-movies-j-horror-battle-royale</strong></u></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Hitchcock, Amanda. “Violent Juvenile Crimes in Japan Point to a Deeper Social Crisis.” </strong><strong>World Socialist Web Site</strong><strong>, </strong><a href="http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2000/10/jap-o18.html"><u><strong>www.wsws.org/en/articles/2000/10/jap-o18.html</strong></u></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Romit DasDasgupta (2011) Emotional Spaces and Places of Salaryman Anxiety in</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Tokyo Sonata , Japanese Studies, 31:3, 373-386, DOI: 10.1080/10371397.2011.619169 </strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Salari,. </strong><strong>YouTube</strong><strong>,, 25 Sept. 2020, </strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx3mQftSMSo"><u><strong>www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx3mQftSMSo</strong></u></a><strong>.</strong></p>

5. Invincible Season 1 Review: A Needed Departure of Superhero Rituals
<p>With ultra-violence akin to Amazon's hit The Boys, Invincible dismisses the overdone cliches of the sub-genre and creates a much needed departure from the rituals and narrative beats of superhero stories we've been familiar with for generations. Would god-like people really "save us" from mass devastation? Would they always use their powers for good and be the most selfless people on the planet? Invincible takes us to a superhero landscape we've historically refused to accept but perhaps would be more probable if super-humans were real. To me it stands alongside HBO's Watchmen and Todd Phillips Joker as a subversive and meta-critique of our culture's understanding of the uber-wealthy, super strong and incredibly intelligent -- the cohorts we're used to seeing being the best heroes. I also geek out a little too. </p>

4. Sounds of the Movement: Free Palestine!
<p>Sounds of the Movement is an experimental portion of Filmagra that allows the spirit and knowledge of our local movements to transcend the space and time they are limited to. This entry bridges the passionate and revolutionary voices of local activists across different Free Palestine movements. This episode is also conscious of the people who are willing to attend these protests but are unable to reach them due to physical limitations. I hope the revolutionary fire reaches you whenever and wherever you are.</p> <p>Links to Boycott Israel as mentioned: @ 8:00</p> <p><a href="http://bdsguide.com/"><u>http://bdsguide.com/</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.buycott.com/"><u>https://www.buycott.com/</u></a></p>
