PATREON PREVIEW: RP264-5 Extra

in a reversal of standard RP procedure, an impassioned Yair goes in two-footed on the new season of Black Mirror while a largely indifferent Jack is just happy to be there.

Episode 265 - Black Mirror Black Heart

Following a misguided attempt to crack the American market, Jack and Geraint desperately try and cling onto their remaining UK fans with a tight hour of Blairite-bashing and Starmer-slagging.

Episode 264 - The Rest Is Banter

The original tenth GAPECAST from 2020, newly reedited and de-Memento-fied so the scenes take place in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER and the narrative MAKES SENSE!In GAPECAST #10, we rewind to December 2019, in the aftermath of the corrupt rigged election that replaced Gapes as Ilford South MP with Corbyn's Candidate, Sam Tarry. Written once again by seasoned Ilford hack Jimothy Baker (currently scribbling away in prison like Gramsci), this episode documents one of the biggest scandals to rock Ilford politics since that depicted in our previous GAPECAST.

Frequent RP guest Juliet Jacques returns to the show to expand on her 2020 Red Pepper article 'How Corbyn unmasked comedy' (https://www.redpepper.org.uk/how-corbyn-unmasked-comedy/) in a discussion of the generation of British comedians and satirists who emerged in the 1990s from under the wing of two titans, Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci, following their mock news show On The Hour's successful transition from radio to television as The Day Today.  We look at their many shows and films, the political milieu they came out of, their key collaborators, and ask when - or if - it all went wrong for these anti-establishment firebrands.

Of all the shows I’ve listened to that delve into Gapesism, this is easily the best and most ideologically pure. Sidestep the revisionist Gapesist-Farronist nonsense elsewhere and enjoy this deep dive into orthodox Gapesism.

Essential insights into Gapes - the David Harvey of Gapesism

If you want to know what the left thinks this is for you. The main thing is what they against, though you&#39;ll never know why...From this evidence &#34;Uni&#34; (none Russell Group I bet) is clearly failing to educate but is doing a great job indoctrinating.  Any humor or sense of camaraderie derives from unspoken shared assumptions.

Reel Politik Podcast

Owen Smith

After another short break, the Reel Politik team are back with their definitive historical account of the Labour Party's 2016 leadership contest, an ill-fated challenge by a banter-loving sub-mediocre former Viagra salesman from the Blairite hack-SpAd-MP conveyor belt to genuinely significant and inspiring politician Jeremy Corbyn. Laura (@thisgeordielass) joins the gang for her first full episode as a co-host, and duly brings the house down with her no-holds-barred melting of the melts. We came here to fuck windmills and salt slugs, and we're all out of windmill. PS. The frogs are not what they seem.

Reel Politik, Episode 37 - Quantity of Penis: The Fall & Fall of Owen Smith

RP on - Democratic primary and Biden's growing lead, the equally potent disease of coronavirus, Neil Young's Bernie Sanders endorsement, a Keir Starmer-level forensic takedown of Stephen Colbert's fawning routine on Lyin' Liz Warren, historical antecedents to Sanders, and why Tom Hanks is a reprehensible bastard. Seriously though fuck Tom Hanks.

Episode 144 - We Found Common Ground

Luke Savage

NEW RP! @LukewSavage of @MichaelandUs and @jacobinmag joins Jack &amp; Geraint to discuss the BBC's 1995 documentary series Labour: The Wilderness Years, in which the great &amp; the good of the Labour Party (and the SDP) put forth their often drastically divergent perspectives on the party's post-1979, pre-Blair history. Plus - the British and Canadian elections, Neil Young's endorsement in the latter, and Luke's Twitter beef with Mike Gapes.

Sadly Laura had to prepare to give a talk, but Jack, Tom and Yair are all there to drop pearls of wisdom: on how Tom looks like Bashar Al Assad, how Tom loves U2, how Tom edited a really funny bit out of the episode (although that wasn't actually discussed as we weren't editing and recording simultaneously.)We talk about Mandy, Get Out, the Stepford Wives, the Halloween franchise, the Hannibal franchise, A Quiet Place, the Cronenberg and Carpenter catalogues, and other highlights of the genre. Plus we obviously discuss Jack's Twitter ban, as well as incipient fascism in Brazil. No, we do not think the two are comparable.Part two of our conversation with Joe Kennedy and Trevor Bastard will be coming in the next week.

Jude Wanga

Yo! We're still exhausted and depressed from the hated 12th December, but our post-election episode featuring longstanding friend of the show Jude Wanga (@judeinlondon2 on Twitter) is now here! We do our best to hold the line and defend the left programme in these horribly unpleasant circumstances, whilst looking to the future rather than dwelling on the plain fact that our agenda didn't come across as well as it should have done. Jude drops one of the first heavyweight endorsements of the leadership contest as she comes out in favour of Rebecca Long-Bailey for leader and Dawn Butler for deputy, and we have a look at the leadership field (as it stood just before Christmas) more generally. The recriminations are bitter, the spice spliffs lit, and the slugs firmly salted.Closing jam: THE ETERNAL WAR by Crazy Moose (written by Jack Frayne-Reid)

George Fucking Orwell

Recorded back-to-back with Episode 112 - Milk Over Matter, Messrs Rice &amp; Frayne-Reid present the latest entry in the Reel Politik reading series; a full reading, with commentary, of Robert Webb's seminal 2013 column for the New Statesman, "Dear Russell, choosing to vote is the most British kind of revolution there is", a response to fellow comedian Russell Brand's political revolution, set out in the previous edition of the New Statesman, of which Brand served as guest editor.  The piece - which is obviously complete nonsense from start to finish - is most notable as the progenitor of the iconic phrase "read some fucking Orwell"; ultimately, perhaps, Webb's greatest contribution to comedy.Webb's piece can be read here: https://www.newstatesman.com/2013/10/russell-brand-robert-webb-choosing-vote-most-british-kind-revolution-there

Episode 114 - George Fucking Orwell

Ten years on from its release, the gang reappraise Nick Love's 'Outlaw' - a fascist critique of the dying days of Blairism that was absolutely "cunted" by critics when it hit cinemas in 2007. With help from Nick Love and co-star Danny Dyer's audio commentary, we dissect the art of Outlaw, examine it in the context of their respective bodies of work, and give some serious thought to what it says about Blair's Britain. And, because (as reprinted in the Daily Mail!) we know the political shit-slinging keeps the punters coming, we spare some time towards the end to discuss Esquire's extensive profile of the reprehensible George Osborne.

Reel Politik, Episode 39 - Outlaw: Our Values Are Under Attack

Recorded 100 days into the tyrannical reign of the hated Boris Johnson and his illegitimate fascist government, and not actually concerning Pasolini's Salo (1975), RP145 is an episode of two halves - Geraint's half is a reading of historian Dominic Sandbrook's feverish fantasy of Jeremy Corbyn's first 100 days as prime minister, as published in friends of the show the Daily Mail. Jack, meanwhile, listened to Armando Iannucci, Jess Phillips and Jan Ravens in conversation about satire in the age of absurdity, hosted by CIA front Intelligence Squad. Yair is also along for the ride. Patreon exclusive and Gapecast #6 coming soon.

Episode 145 - Mailò, or the 100 Days of Johnson

Joe Kennedy

Trevor Bastard

In the first instalment of a two-parter, Yair and Jack are joined by Joe Kennedy, author of the excellent Repeater Books title Authentocrats, and – at Joe’s request – his co-conspirator Trevor Bastard, CEO of powerful international conglomerate Grannymugger Media, close personal friend of the Hammer of Brexit, Oliver Laughdugry QC, long-time supporter of grassroots football legends Streatham Rovers, and writer and performer of the hit single ‘Sex Dream’. Our star-studded panel run through some of the ideas in Joe’s book and test the author’s grasp of his own theories with a riveting game of “Authentocrat or Authento-not”. Discussed are the flaws in the “centrist dad” and “gammon” archetypes, the sophisticated cultural palates of many such sophisti-dads and dangermelts, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire conspiracy theories, how Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker created the boring man’s platonic ideal of comedy, and if the conditions really are just right for Trevor Bastard to sell out royally. Much more to come.

Episode 72 - Losing Our Edge (Part 1 ft. Joe Kennedy & Trevor Bastard)

Kieran Morris

In a special bite-sized episode, our Westminster correspondent Kieran Morris (@hipsterscumbag) briefs Jack (@ubercoca) and Yair (@ysrice) on the latest rumblings from the corridors of power. We discuss drama in the Labour Party, beef in what counts for a left-wing media in Britain, what makes somebody a "pound shop" something-or-other, and our own Kieran and Jack's recent ideological realignments. Just like Labour's victory in the Stoke-on-Trent by-election, this episode is brought to you - as ever - by Russia.

Reel Politik, Episode 12 - The Parliamentary Road to Salafism (ft. Kieran Morris)

We should have a genuine legend of comedy on the show on Sunday, but in the meantime we thought it apposite to spend an hour shitting one of of our formative comic heroes: Mr Eric Idle, of Monty Python and Rutles fame. Idle has nailed his anti-Corbyn colours to the mask in recent days, largely in the form of a heated feud with our friends from the left-wing Canadian podcast Michael &amp; Us. He's screamed to anyone who'd listen that Corbyn plans to nationalise Monty Python, that Labour's plans are not, in fact, socialism, but communism, and casually outed the entire Python cast &amp; crew as picket-crossing scabs.  As learned Pythonologists, Jack and Geraint examine the politics of Python - those evidenced in their collective work, and in their personal statements through the years - and pour one out for another venerable comedian addled by a steady flow of cash and a kneejerk celebrity McCarthyism. We also look at Idle's very worst film - The Rutles 2 - and his Python comrade John Cleese's incredible back catalogue of SDP/Liberal Alliance and Lib Dem propaganda videos.

Episode 79 - An RP News Bulletin (UNLOCKED)

At long last, after two years of agonising political deadlock, a General Election was announced yesterday. Geraint (@wariotifo) and Yair (@rice_ys) join Jack (@gapesology) to salt every slug in the book and finally get excited again about the prospect of Mr Jeremy Corbyn and Mr Seumas Milne in Number 10 Downing Street. This emergency RP election broadcast was rushed to completion in under twelve hours, and should hopefully be the start of a big election cycle for your favourite scurrilous left podcast, and also for Reel Politik.

Joana Ramiro

Jason Cowley

In the latest of our hated Serious Episodes (just kidding, you guys love them, right? right?) Jack is joined by journalist and RP Seriousness Correspondent Joana Ramiro (kidding again, she's actually really funny!) to dig into whatever the fuck is going at centre-left weekly the New Statesman.  After several months of what appeared to be a move to the left, spearheaded by sometime political and then deputy editor "Red" George Eaton, the New Statesman has slid back well and truly into the bowels of reaction, pumping out chauvinist crap about "The Irish Question" and Helen Lewis's most transphobic article in months. All of it seems to have happened since Eaton (who, full disclosure, is a former guest on this show) was disciplined and sent away on leave for - bizarrely -  getting a government advisor (conservative "public intellectual" and vile sack of shit Roger Scruton) sacked for racism. Jack and Joana talk about the culture and practises of the NS and the liberal press generally, drawing parallels with recent incidents where other publications have sold out left-wing contributors for breaking some unwritten rule of the club, and ask the question; why can one of Eaton's colleagues get away with years of virulent bigotry, while he gets ratfucked for performing a public service?More of Jack's conversation with Joana, touching on CUK-TIG (as always) and expanding on our discussion of James O'Brien, will be dropping on patreon.com/reelpolitik within the next few days.

More of Jack's conversation with Joana, touching on CUK-TIG (as always) and expanding on our discussion of James O'Brien, will be dropping on <a href="http://patreon.com/reelpolitik" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">patreon.com/reelpolitik</a> within the next few days.

Mike Gapes

For a longer version of this episode - containing a run-through Gapes' milk-related Early Day Motions and a reading of an Evening Standard piece about him doing karaoke, with Yair appearing on the latter part - go to patreon.com/reelpolitik tonight!In this truncated cut for the masses, Tom and Jack - recording just after new year at Jack's house - read from then-Labour International Officer Mike Gapes' 1990 Fabian Society pamphlet, After The Cold War: Building on the Alliances, which Jack bought several months ago off Independent columnist, top Amazon seller, Tony Blair superfan, and phantom der nacht, John Rentoul. As heavyweight statesman Mr Gapes sets out his plan for achieving a lasting peace in Europe (the rest of the world? fugeddaboudit!), we do what we do best: sneer and deride.

Episode 85 - The Miwky Maverick: A Mike Gapes Reading Series

Richard Miller

Meth, milk, murder, magic &amp; mayhem. Sounds like a standard day on the mean streets of Ilford, with the feral sex youths and Gape Goons clashing violently in a bloody generation-spanning gang war. However, you take the man out of Ilford, but you can't take the Ilford out of the man. This is the full story of Mike Gapes and his loyal aide Richard Miller's fateful trip to Las Vegas, after which a Nevada-wide State of Emergency was called. Its locations include a police conference, a strip joint, a riot, a Russian bathhouse, and a battered RV in the middle of the desert. Adapted by @JimothyBaker and @gapesology from age-old Ilford mythology.

GEAR & GAPING IN LAS VEGAS (GAPECAST #9 ft. Mr Richard Miller)

While the so-called centre-left feel gleeful and emboldened, every real socialist around feels depressed as fuck right now - not just in Britain, but many of our international comrades too; RP Corp Intl is, after all, an international multimedia conglomerate. Writer and RP regular Juliet Jacques (contributor to Tribune, New Socialist and elsewhere, host of @Suite-212, author of Trans: A Memoir, and @zinovievletter on Twitter) joins us to discuss not so much the left in the wake of the election as *being* on the left in the wake of the election; feeling the weight of the great closing off of possibility, the toxic mix of political despair and personal depression, the constant asking ourselves how we're supposed to go forward at all. We almost called this episode "What's Left?" - which is sort of the question it poses - but decided to name it after a Crazy Moose song rather than a book by a cunt.We don't plan on giving up the fight, so if you want to support real hard left media, subscribe to patreon.com/reelpolitik
