#92 - Red Scare - (Charlie Chaplin's A King in New York) (Patreon)

Branded a left-wing subversive, Charlie Chaplin's re-entry visa to the United States was denied in 1952. He responded with A KING IN NEW YORK (1957), a satire of 1950s America that takes specific aim at McCarthyism. We untangle this difficult missive from a king in exile. PLUS: the Justin Trudeau scandal, Canadian icon Ed the Sock, and the continued unravelling of the neoliberal order.
