Coming Soon: Hell of Presidents with Matt Christman and Chris Wade

Hey all,

Matt and I are doing one of these Stitcher Premium shows. It’s called “Hell of Presidents” and it’s our story of American history told through the office of the President. Over 13 narrative episodes and 7 bonus eps, we’re going to be covering the life & presidency of all 46 office holders, attempting to demystify the individuals and discuss them as products of history and the material circumstances around their rise to power. And through that, track the development of the country itself. 


But also, it’s me doing my best Schoolhouse Rock-level summary of presidential history to set Matt up to go the fuck off and give a close-to-comprehensive Christman analysis of the entire history of America. Plus plenty of opportunity for all the random Presidential trivia and ephemera he has at his command. So Inebriated Past fans, CushVlog fans, this one’s for you.


The show will be available on Stitcher Premium starting July 2nd. Use the Patreon-only offer code “CHAPO” for 50% off an annual membership. And like, at this point that’ll get you this, Time For My Stories, the new season of Blowback, plus a bunch of other great stuff there, so, pretty good deal. Find the show here: https://www.stitcherpremium.com/hell


Matt and I really hope you guys enjoy this, we’ve been incubating some version of this idea for like two years now, so we’re excited to get it out into the world.


Your Napoleon of the Stump,

Chris

    Will, Felix & Hesse review Alex Garland’s Civil War. War may be hell, but at least we’ve got those damn good bastards the War Correspondents around to get the one perfect shot that will let everyone know, HEY…don’t do a Civil War. Tickets to Will & Hesse’s Movie Mindset screening & talkback of Death Wish 3 in NYC on May 4: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chapo-trap-houses-movie-mindset-screening-of-death-wish-3-w-will-hesse-tickets-877569192077
  • MM17: Cagney WAS Modernity!

    01:50:13
    Welcome to Movie Mindset season 2! Will & Hesse look at two films somewhat bookending the career of the great James Cagney: Lloyd Bacon’s Footlight Parade (1933) & Billy Wilder’s One, Two, Three (1961). The first is a pre-code musical spectacular, allowing Cagney to show off his song and dance skills as a promoter of live “prologues” for movie houses, the later a cold war screwball comedy, together they show the insane range of Cagney across a career also notable for roles as gangsters and tough guys. But here, we get to see his work making the most racist and offensive musical numbers imaginable to a depression-era crowd, and joke-a-minute comedy chops as a beverage exec trying to keep his boss’s daughter from eloping with a Communist while opening up east Germany to the wonders of Coca-Cola. Tickets to Will & Hesse’s Movie Mindset screening & talkback of Death Wish 3 in NYC on May 4: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chapo-trap-houses-movie-mindset-screening-of-death-wish-3-w-will-hesse-tickets-877569192077

We finish with a reading series from Jonathan Chait, who’s still banging on about “the authoritarian left” impinging on peoples’ rights to hear Jamie Raskin speak. And in the middle, we check in on the ever-expanding universe of Taylor Sheridan shows, this time with Lawman: Bass Reeves.NYC, MAY 4th: Join Will & Hesse for a Movie Mindset Season 2 kickoff screening & talkback of DEATH WISH 3 at Littlefield, tickets now available:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chapo-trap-houses-movie-mindset-screening-of-death-wish-3-w-will-hesse-tickets-877569192077

    Will, Felix and Amber are here to look at a startling rise in assault in Gay City.
