For this month's Superdelegate pick, we watched Bernardo Bertolucci's masterpiece The Conformist (1970), about a secret police officer in fascist Italy assigned to assassinate a left-wing intellectual who was once his university professor. We discuss what it means to be a fascist, and the lure of seeking normalcy even within an evil system. PLUS: 50 Shades of Grey, old movies, and what, exactly, is "the canon"?

The "anti-anti-pumpkin spice" take reminds me a lot of the reactions to the term "basic bitch". The latter is widely understood to be a largely white, petite bourgeois phenomenon, and since this group tends to think of itself as socially conscious, you see some weird reactions from people who aren't used to being punched up at. The awkwardness radiates off of this 2014 piece: https://www.vogue.com/article/back-to-basics-fall-fashion-guide

I really really liked this one. It was good to hear Will and Luke gently disagreeing and exploring their positions on “the canon”
