FilmSky podcasts revisit fascism in cinema and Soderbergh
Sonic Cinema released Episode 183, "Fascism in Cinema, Past Future Present," mapping authoritarian themes across historical films and science fiction and devoting a segment to Steven Soderbergh's latest project. MatineeCast premiered a new episode launching Round Ten of "Know Your Enemy" and featured a Soderbergh-focused segment alongside essays on cinematic authoritarianism. A fresh review of Rendezvous (1935) highlights its twin espionage threads: a serious plot about German WWI cryptography and a parallel romantic tradecraft storyline between William Powell and Rosalind Russell. Together these podcasts and essays explain why viewers should revisit older espionage films and track contemporary directors to see how cinema portrays surveillance, power, and resistance.
