"I am a Comanche. Do you know what it means? It means 'Enemy to everyone'."
We begin our mini-look at Taylor Sheridan's cinematic works with one of his more Western-facing screenplays Hell or High Water. It's an interesting look at violence, poverty, and what one will do for their family in the face of both. Texas Tech's professor of media and communications Dr. David Perlmutter joins the show to talk all about West Texas, the cowboys and Indians of it all, so much more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

"They want you to think it's you. You that's made this whole world. But it's always been them."
While it may not have won Best Picture or Best Actress at the most recent Academy Awards, Bugonia was not only one of the best films of the last year but also one of the most thought-provoking. Featuring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, the film is a character study as well as being a musing on the state of the world and the way humans have left it. Professor of Media and Communications Dr. David Perlmutter joins the show to talk all about the wild film.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

"Here we go again."
Sometimes even we don't know why we do the things we do, but this time around, it's because we have to do our due diligence as film critics and take a bullet for you, the listener. Instead of watching Vice or W, we decided to subject ourselves to to Melania, a film that totally wasn't a bribe from Amazon to the Trump family. Because, if it was, that would essentially be light propaganda right?Right.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
