The
Red Troika Film Squad watched the 2019 film,
The Art of Self
Defense, starring
Jessie Eisenberg and decided it was too good and fascinating
not to do an episode on it. A karate dojo slowly turns into
a horrifying fascist institution which thrives on misogyny and
small business ownership practices. We also critically explore
common readings of the film as a depiction of toxic masculinity and
also explore the role of hierarchy in Leftist political
thought.
