FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

Hitchcock Season would rule because he's one of the all-time greats w/a plethora of classics, *but* also he has some stinkers in there *and* his relationship w/women both behind and in front of the camera (which contrast in fascinating ways depending on the film) is probably some of the most fertile ground for your analysis after the Bond films. Oh, and since I started listening to this I've been wondering when you'll get to North By Northwest, which was both deliberately intended as the culmination of Hitchcock's spy thrillers going back to The 39 Steps, and subsequently quite blatantly used as the model for the first decade of Bond films to the point that Hitchcock was annoyed w/his friend Albert R. Broccoli for ripping him off so blatantly; even just looking at that film would be great for that context, a full Hitchcock season that allowed you to see how much the thriller/escapist genres were shaped by his films would be sublime.

In Australia season please do Animal Kingdom. On Pluribus, like Abby I wanted it to be The Show I Want to Watch where each ep followed the hivemind through administrative, ecological, supply, maintenance etc issues planning and execution.

If you're going to be doing movies about found families doing vehicle-based action together, I cannot suggest "Convoy" enough. It's an almost explicitly leftist sort of marxist sort of anarchist movie based on a country song. Working class people versus dirty cops and the American government. Pro, or at least normalizing, sex work. Multiracial. Unions mentioned. There's also one quick (derogatory) trans joke in there I was going to watch one battle after another in theaters, and they were only airing it at 9:40 p.m. and I clock into work at 6:00 a.m. almost every day therefore I am asleep by 10:00 p.m. pretty much every night
