Episode 53: Lefterboxd

https://globehell.libsyn.com/

## Episode Summary

Everybody knows that some of the best movies are leftists: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Avengers and all Avengers films. But how do you know if a film is leftist? Just because its made by Marvel? No. There is another answer and its Lefterboxd a new app for your screens.

## Idea Details

* Idea: Lefterboxd, the Globe Hell Test
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: I see Globe Hell as kind of a magazine. Uh sometimes it's a nasty porno with a centerfold and other times it's Highlights magazine or uh Owlkids magazine, kind of - it's O magazine, uh and sometimes it's some sort of sticky pages together nasty one. My point is a magazine has two key things: it has interviews, which we've just established, but we also need to review content. That's something that is very important if you're kind of a creator of content like that: the ability to review content, to determine a content's value. Now, what does that mean in terms of being leftist? Do we review things because they're good? I'm trying to talk to you today about films, reviewing films, and what it means to have - (Drew: "Well, I'm a big movie fan, Josiah, you know? I like the *Iron Man* movies, I like most of the MCU movies, *Star Wars*, uh DC.") What about *films*? (Drew: "What? Like uh *Shawn of the Dead*?") Sure! *Shawn* - OK, or maybe A24? (Drew: "What is that? Oh, that's *Apartment 24*, right? The horror movie?") Uh so basically what I'm trying to say is there's a new thing that exists called Letterboxd. Have you heard of this app? Letterboxd. It's kinda like Yelp but for movies, you put your movies in there and then you do a Yel- you kind of can be a Karen about that, you do - to show that you're Karen, you can be a Karen about the new uh Casey Affleck movie - the film. And say, 'Oh, I th- uh, can I talk to -' Basically you're saying, 'I wish I could talk to the manager or the producer.' In movies, the manager is a producer. (Drew: "Well, wouldn't it be a director?") Well, you know, the producer has a lot of sway these days. Uh so that's called - have you heard of Letterboxd before? (Drew: "Yeah, I have. It's uh - I see people post their Letterboxd reviews, there's like the Twitter page of funny Letterboxd reviews.") This is my point: there's all these problems, everyone fights, everyone's trying to get their opinions in of what's a good movie, how does it work, what's going on with the movies. As leftists, it doesn't matter if a movie's good or not. All that matters is if the movie is leftist or not. And that's what I've been trying to say this whole time is that we need to figure out if a movie is good or not for leftists. The 'Hot or Not' thing you described is better. Letterboxd, there's too many 0.5 this, uh Terrence Malick that, recently watched blah blah blah, pie charts, Tom Hanks - (Drew: "*Thunder Force*, 1.5 stars.") - uh Wim Wenders. Just all this shit is so confusing. 'What is happening, where am I?' is how I feel when I'm on there. (Drew: "*Inside* by Bo Burnham, 3 stars.") We shouldn't be having these conversations, cause it's not for us. We should be having conversations about whether or not a movie is leftist. And there's a very simple, very direct way that we can do this, and it's a new initiative that I'm calling Lefterboxd.
* Timetable: Lefterboxd: coming soon.
* Idea details:
	+ Lefterboxd is not a website, it's a grassroots movement that uses analog technology to determine whether or not a movie is leftist or not, using science.
	+ Globe Hell Warning will partner with Amazon Prime to develop Lefterboxd because they've done some great things for movies recently.
	+ Amazon will be supplying delivery drivers for Lefterboxd users.
	+ All delivery drivers will have she/her pronouns.
	+ After a leftist signs up for Lefterboxd, a delivery driver will bring a Lefterboxd Box to their door. The driver will not ring the doorbell due to social distancing, even though people are allowed to touch now. Then the leftist will go to the door to find the package and they will then say, 'Oh, she left 'er box dere.'
	+ The Lefterboxd Box is not a normal box, it's just a piece of cardboard that is built to the specifications of your television using the rule of thirds so that it is two-thirds the size of your home screen viewing device. You will then place the piece of cardboard over your television and watch a movie so that only the left third of your television is visible.
	+ A movie is good for leftists if the left third of the television is still a good movie. That determination is a simple yes-or-no; there are no ratings because it must remain a grassroots individual journey. This test is known as the Globe Hell Test.
	+ Some examples of considerations to take into account in determining if a movie is good for leftists are:
		- Does the movie make sense while only viewing the left third?
		- Does the movie work while only viewing the left third?
		- Are the characters talking to each other while only viewing the left third?
		- Are the female characters still just only pining after a guy or do they have their own name and narrative and their own rich 3D writing while only viewing the left third?
	+ Lefterboxd must not be put online because we don't want the government to know what are the leftist movies because they will try to infiltrate them, like how *Black Panther* was CIA propaganda.
	+ Lefterboxd can be used to review any content that plays on a TV for leftism, from movies to TV shows to sports content to commercials.
		- Note: Presumably these will all be on the Mandatory Warhol Network since all other forms of media are blacked out.
	+ The Lefterboxd Box might have leftist quotes on it.
	+ After some negotiation between Josiah and Drew, the final state of the patented Lefterboxd technology may instead be half the screen instead of a third, but all the audio will be panned to the left channel.

## Devil Play

* Drew played devil on Josiah by asking what's stopping people from simply putting any box on their TV instead of a Lefterboxd Box.
	+ Josiah reiterated that the Lefterboxd Box is sized for their television.
	+ Drew countered that someone could just cut a box with a razorblade.
	+ Josiah said if someone wanted to do that it's fine, but then it's not Lefterboxd and then she didn't didn't left 'er box dere.
	+ Drew responded that it sounds like it's not even a box, it's just a piece of cardboard. He implored that they go back to the base concept.
	+ Josiah said 'Marx'.
	+ Drew agreed.
	+ Josiah put forward that they should put Marx on the Box to know the different angles on the TV.
	+ Drew decided on a path forward: she's going to left her boxd after all, because it's going to have an empty box that is then unfolded by the user. So she will left her box dere. Then the user will take the box in and unfold it and put it on the television. Drew then asked if they will put on any movie.
	+ Josiah responded that it could be whatever movie they're trying to review for Lefterboxd. He noted that they let Bo Burnham on Letterboxd so it could be any TV show or sports content too, as long as it plays on your TV.
	+ Drew inquired about commercials.
	+ Josiah asked if a commercial could be leftist.
	+ Drew said that's the question and they could find.
	+ Josiah agreed, since that is the problem solved by Lefterboxd.

## Notable Events

* Drew read some news that experts say this tiny device can practically replace your ear in an ad from hear.com from Calgary, Alberta. This device does more than just aid your hearing. Virtually invisible, the Silk X sits comfortably inside your ear. This is great for 50 years or older if you're having trouble hearing and you live in Canada. After much discussion regarding the sanctity of UTM codes, Josiah and Drew revealed the final URL for their listeners to use so they can check if they qualify at:

		- "Well, Ed, I noticed uh - I noticed your weight."
	+ Josiah, playing Ed the Sock:

	+ Josiah, playing Ed the Sock:
		- "Why do you think I'm smoking this cigar? I'm constantly basking in a post-coital glow!"
	+ After a brief regroup, they continued their role-play interview with Drew shifting his focus.
	+ Drew, playing Drew:
		- "Now, what can we do to get you to lose that weight?"
	+ Josiah, playing Ed the Sock:
		- "Um this interview's over."
	+ Drew, playing Drew:
		- "How man- Ed, how many cigars a day do you smoke?"

You're desecrating the sanctity of the UTM code. The UTM code exists so that the publisher is aware of how the article was found so that they can sort of strategize their advertising, their uh editorial calendar, all of these things - it's a guide! It's a paper trail that leads back to where they found it. So when you're saying 'UTM uh MSN' and revealing that you've clicked MSN to find this, what you're actually doing is you're - you're lying! Because now all of our listeners are gonna type in the URL that you - it was a wonderful URL read up until then, but then you changed the UTM code and made it some other bullshit that's not correct! Because you should have changed it manually: UTM Globe Hell Warning - UTM uh equals uh - ?utm=globe uh \_hell\_warning. Cause the UTM code is a gui- you're changing the course of history!"
* [On the topic of ca\_en] "So if anybody's uh entering this into their browser and you're not in ca\_en, maybe you are in uk\_en or us\_- I mean, you need to make sure that you're clear and transparent because that's how fake news is created is people using the wrong UTM codes, pretending that they're in the wrong location, or using a VPN. Uh it's just disgusting. And I think UPNs - VPNs are some of the most reprehensible technology of the modern era."

* [On the topic of *Seven Samurai*] "I'm pretty sure it's definitely not black-and-white."

* "As leftists, it doesn't matter if a movie's good or not. All that matters is if the movie is leftist or not."
* "Letterboxd, there's too many 0.5 this, uh Terrence Malick that, recently watched blah blah blah, pie charts, Tom Hanks, uh Wim Wenders. Just all this shit is so confusing. 'What is happening, where am I?' is how I feel when I'm on there."

* "There'll be no more Popcornpornography in - on Lefterboxd. And in fact, it's not even a website, it's a grassroots movement that uh uses analog technology to determine whether or not something is leftist or not, using science."
* "Basically we're gonna partner with Amazon Prime. They've done great things for movies; they're buying up uh - they're going to all the festivals, buying up titles. Sometimes, Sundance, they'll buy a movie before it even plays, they know it's gonna be so - they love movies at Amazon Prime."
* [In response to Drew referring to Amazon's plentiful infrastructure as 'outro-structure'] "I think that's exactly - I mean, that's exactly what I said in my meeting with uh Jeff."
	+ Note: Josiah was likely referring to Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, though this needs clarification.
* "I mean, maybe the driver will always be a - someone with 'her' - uh 'her' pronou- uh it'll be a she/her uh delivery person who s- and then you'll say - they'll bring you the box, and they're not gonna ring the door cause of social distancing, even if you're allowed to touch now, socia- they'll leave the box at the door and then you'll say, 'Oh, she left 'er boxd - she left 'er box dere! She left 'er box dere! She left 'er box -' uh."
* "And so once she's left 'er box dere - you p- you ta- and it's not a normal box, OK? It's actually just a piece of cardboard, uh and it's built to the specifications of your television, and, you know, filmmakers like to use something called the rule of thirds? Or, kind of, photographers they use that, it's kind of like uh - you know, I mean, some people - I'm sure uh Dr. Chip is using the rule of thirds when he's trying to convince his wife to get some uh action going on with a special somebody."
* "So she left 'er box dere, you take it inside, it's perfectly sized for your television using the rule of turd- rule - oh, I almost said 'rule of turds', oh my God! I almost had a 'Freudian shit!' "
* "So using the rule of thirds, you've got your Letterboxd [sic] is sized for your television that it is two-thirds the size of your uh home screen viewing device, you place the piece of cardboard over your television, put on your favorite movie - what was - or what was your favorite movie, and so that's what - basically where it comes down to is: you know that a movie is good for leftists if the left third of your television is still a good movie while it's playing. So it's just an easy test that you can do for any movie: put the box over your screen, watch the entire thing, does the movie make sense? Does it work? Does it uh - are the characters talking to each other? Are the female characters uh still just only pining after a guy or do they have their own name and narrative and their own, sort of, rich 3D writing? All of these questions apply to the left side of the screen, and so uh basically with Lefterboxd, you're watching the film and then you decide, 'Was this good or not having only seen the left side of the screen?' And it's a simple yes-or-no, it's a simple hot-or-not, uh and that's how we kinda figure out - and so, y- and there's no rating cause we need to each kind of do this journey on our own, and it's very grassroots, and maybe you can bring it up at your uh activism meetings that you have. Activism Anonymous. But otherwise, it's just kind of - don't put it online! We don't want the government to know what are the leftist movies, cause they'll try to infiltrate them! *Black Panther* was just CIA propaganda."
* [On the topic of the Lefterboxd Box] "No, cause the middle third is for centrists."
* "I guess you could even do a sports? I mean leftists need to have sports content, too, that's a thing, right? Leftist perspective on sports? So yeah, I guess whatever plays on your TV, you - is - uh you can do Lefterboxd."
* [In response to Drew saying that Lefterboxd doesn't really have anything to do with leftism] "Well yeah because if a movie is good for leftists then all you'll need is the left, and it'll still make sense, is what I'm saying. The plot will definitely m- everything about the - or maybe it'll be a diff- entirely different movie with a different story. No matter what, the left uh third, if it stands on its own, then it passes the Globe Hell Test and it's a leftist movie, according to the patented Lefterboxd technology. I don't understand what you don't understand."
* "Well like you said, sometimes there's - sometimes things are a little bit more nuanced, or a little bit more - you know, I mean that girl who was talking about Shrek being a piece of shit, was she saying that that was a good - was it satire? Was it a good thing that he was a piece of shit? Was that part of leftism? It's just too complicated! The discourse - and I'm doing the chef's kiss thing again - uh becomes too muddied when there's too many variables at play, so basically we just avoid the whole conversation and decide if something is leftist or not using Lefterboxd. I don't understand what you don't understand."
* [In response to Drew saying he doesn't understand why they're watching just the left-hand side of the movie] "To see if it's leftist or not! It's so simple!"
* [In response to Drew saying the movie is made for the full screen] "Yeah, by corporations. So that's what I'm trying to say. We're taking it back by only watching the left side."
* [In response to Drew saying that the patented Lefterboxd technology is not gonna work and is gonna be terrible] What do you mean it's gonna be awful? But we're not ta- that's what I'm trying to say! We're getting rid of the concept of good or bad and we're getting ri- and it's being replaced with leftist or not."
* [In response to Drew saying nothing's gonna be leftist because nothing is going to be only good on the left-hand side of the screen until people start to make movies that are specifically made just for the left-hand side] And that's called progress! That's called change! That means we're changing the world! With Lefterboxd."
* [In response to Drew saying he doesn't want to just watch the left third of movies] "And that's the thing, it's a purity test! It's a leftist purity test and you failed! You're not down for the cause like I thought you were!"
* [In response to Drew asking for an example of a leftist quote] "Uh what's - do you know one? I'm drawing a blank."
* [On the topic of a leftist quote] " 'The left had to go searching for a new civil rights struggle with which to cram conservatives back into their victimizer cubby-hole.' Ben Shapiro."
* "You can't change the world if you're seeing it uh through the oppressor's aspect ratio is what I'm trying to say. So uh Lefterboxd."
* "Everything you say is so blinded by fear of progress that you just make no - absolutely no sense. And I don't know, Drew, I think you have a lot of soul-searching to do if you don't wanna do Lefterboxd. Dere."
* [In response to Drew saying he doesn't think Lefterboxd is gonna work] "But it will obviously work because the method decides whether or not something is leftist, so it can't not - it's impossible to not work. You're just not willing to give up your movies that you love that are centrist."
* [In response to Drew negotiating the patented Lefterboxd technology specfiications] "OK I'm gonna negotiate your negotiate. Half the screen, it's still divided vertically, and we pan all the audio to the left channel. Lefterboxd: coming soon. It's kind of a - that's a movie phrase: coming soon."
* "Well you're not supposed to be happy, that's my point. You're supposed to be leftist."

* [On the topic of *The Tree of Life*] "Well not everybody has heard of uh these kind of arthouse movies. These little movies with nobody that anybody knows about in them. Some nobody director. First time film. Probably filmed on an iPhone. Nobody cares."

* [In response to Josiah asking if he gets the idea behind Lefterboxd] "Yeah, I get it, I just don't - I - like, I don't understand the point of it. If, at the end of the day - I mean, it doesn't really have anything to do with, you know, leftism."
* [On the topic of the patented Lefterboxd technology] "I feel like if we were to do that then no movies would be good."
* "I don't understand why we're watching just the left-hand side of the movie!"
* "No, I'm saying that we should do this beca- we should absolutely do this because it's not gonna work, it's gonna be terrible! It's gonna be awful! No matter what movie, it's g- you're gonna - it just -"
* [In response to Josiah saying they're getting rid of the concept of good or bad and it's being replaced with leftist or not] "Well noth- it's - nothing's gonna be leftist because nothing is going to be only good on the left-hand side of the screen until people start to make movies that are specifically made just for the left-hand side!"
* "This is your episode so don't expect me to look up a quote for you."
* "I'm worried. I'm worried about the fact that we're gonna get too leftered. That's my big concern. It's a slippery slope, Josiah. Once you start - you start with a third, eventually it's gonna be an eighth. Then it's gonna be a sixteenth. Then it's gonna be a thirty-second. Then it's gonna be a sixty-fourth."
* "I think the - it should be half the screen. We should be able to see half the screen. And it shouldn't be divided vertically, it should be divided horizontally. You'll only be able to see the top half of the screen."
* [In response to Josiah saying he's not supposed to be happy, he's supposed to be leftist] "Well, it'd be nice to be both."
