A good next guess for Offline could be Adam Conover, specifically with the subject being about how effective offline/online community building is to forming voter blocks, in light of his recent Video on his channel.
45:50 Yeah, I do this all the time; I call them NPR Names. The 'Brought to you by...' indviual donors name's on PBS broadcasts are a deep well of fantastic names that you'd otherwise think were made up. One of my favorite was 'Seaton Melvin', sadly I believe he(?) they have since passed away because I no longer hear his name during the particular part of the broadcast; I mean come on, with a name like that and a donor at the 'get a shout-out by Judy Woodruff on every show' level, you know this person can't be any younger than 75.
I feel like I need to watch Tar before watching this episode. When you do the Matrix (on netflix) everyone is onboard, might be worth considering how much of your potential audience will have seen or have access to a film.
Huh? I mean, sure, I suppose. :P But that would mean they could only ever talk about the most obvious broadly seen movies. If anything, I suspect the majority of people who are fans of this podcast _have_ seen Tar. I would venture to guess that venn diagram is veering on being a single circle. I certainly get not being into an episode if you haven't seen the film yourself. But Tar, while somewhat niche, isn't _that_ obscure. But I do suggest watching it! I definitely wouldn't say I loved it. But I did like it. And on a visual/aesthetic level it was pretty stunning...which for me was enough to justify it. I felt it shared a very specific visual language with Aronofsky's Black Swan. There's a stark brutalist minimalism vibe....but with a thread of psychological chaotic unwinding woven throughout....all rendered in this very visually captivating way.
I don't really think this movie is about the internet, or cancel culture at all. I watched it (and largely remember it) as a story about narcissistic self-destruction. Now that this video reminds me, yes the viral video aspect was cringey and stupid, but it was such a minor part of the story it's not what I think the movie was really about.
☺ They need at least one film critic in their discussions..... comments by internet-obsessed media people, without involved film critics who understand the medium of film, its language and its structure, is missing half the discussion.....

Wow, this was a pleasant surprise. Tar is my favorite movie since No Country For Old Men. Thanks.
Social Accountability should be the replacement term for Cancel Culture.
Why isn't the show called Offline with Jon Favreau and Max Fisher?
