#114 - Pier Paolo Cometpizzalini (Patreon)

Power corrupts, whether it's in France before the revolution, or Italy in the waning days of fascism, or in international airspace on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. As the Epstein story exposes the rot at the core of the modern elite, we find parallels in Pier Paolo Pasolini's anti-fascist (read: anti-capitalist) classic SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM (1975). PLUS: the Marquis de Sade, Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan, the sorry state of film culture, and Michael Moore on Chapo Trap House.
