Recorded the same night as our infamous (AKA most recent) 'Enoch Had It Wrong' episode - which accounts for the poor audio quality - and realised to coincide with our beloved comrade @tomfoster94's birthday, this edition of Reel Politik delves into the political tumult of a wearing January; including Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States, the Labour Party's travails over immigration and Brexit, and Jeremy Corbyn's "populist reboot". Films reviewed include Martin Scorsese's Silence, Jim Jarmusch's Gimme Danger, Ben Affleck's Live By Night, Paul Schrader's Dog Eat Dog, but not Rogue One. The closing song to this episode is 'Garibaldi' by our friend Moses Longpiece. Happy birthday Tomrade, and to all the many leftist Toms, wherever you may be. We'll leave you with our motto - "Socialism...it's Not Bad."
