History Sucks - Jumbo Intermission, pt I
July 11, 2021 11:00 AM PDT
Jumbo returns as we discuss the post-WWII reactionary turn. This episode has something for everyone to hate! We talk about the connection between the CIA & abstract expressionism, we use the word “pomo,” we talk about what Trotsky was up to in Mexico, and we finally take Elia Kazan down a peg or two.
