MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES EPISODE 14: UNBREAKABLE SPLIT GLASS
The Mjolnir crew take on M Shight Nyalamanalmalanam's Unbreakable Trilogy, which starts off brilliantly with 2000's Unbreakable, continues well with 2017's Split and peters out disappointingly with this year's Glass. We explore how the director lost his touch, but remark how refreshing it is to have films where politics are pushed to one side for a change.

MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES EPISODE 13: BRAVEHEART
Another episode of Mjolnir at the Movies is up, in which we take on Mel, the Son of the Gibs' epic piece of anti-English propaganda Braveheart. We discuss the problems of petty nationalism and how this is often used to keep people infighting and away from racial nationalism, and how propagandist pseudo-history taps into this. We also look at whether Glibson is #OurGuy, given certain drunken ramblings about a certain tribe who control Jollywood.

JAMES FROM MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES' DEMONSTRATION IN ARTS AND CRAFTS
Like any good Pagan, James (Bevel E on his Youtube channel), who is one third of the Mjolnir at the Movies crowd, believes in activity, as opposed to Christian passivity, and particularly in the divine activity of creation. Both his artisanry and Pagan religiosity are brought together in this short demonstration on creating a wooden runic pendant. The finished product is superb and James is far too modest for his own good in the video. Please subscribe to his channel, as he has a great sense of humour in his videos and I'm sure we can expect a lot more good stuff coming from him in the future.

MJOLNIR AT THE MOVIES MATINEE: THE MATRIX RELOADED, A Cultural Void
It's over to James for this one, who proves himself far more adept at computer graphics than Neil and I. Using stills from the films, James takes a look at the aesthetics - and lack thereof - of the Matrix Trilogy, paying particular attention to the Matrix Reloaded. What do the aesthetics signify and what is their purpose? Please subscribe to the channel and also to James' channel, which can be found here and which also has some great content he has created alone.

EXPOSING JACK SEN AND CHANNEL 4's "SLEEPING WITH THE FAR RIGHT"
It might have been described as a postmodern tragi-comedy. Instead of a flawed king, we had Jack Sen, the man who would be king, a figure made both ridiculous and yet plausible. As with all postmodernist theatre, it lacked the great truths of the Ancient Greek stage, but it was theatre nonetheless and the personae involved were actors playing parts. Among the supporting cast were the overbearing mother Faye Lowley, like a postmodern Olympias to Jack Sen's Alexander, but more....well....lowly, and the interviewer and presenter Alice Levine, like a Jewish chorus whose wisdom and commentary are false. Indeed, it ought to come as no surprise that many falsehoods and lies were perpetrated during Channel 4's "Sleeping with the Far Right", which we will now expose, as well as delving into the purpose of what the documentary was meant to serve.

ANDRE WARD AND TYSON FURY vs THE LDBC: RACIAL POLITICS IN BOXING
Over a year ago now, super middleweight and light heavyweight boxing champion Andre Ward retired undefeated at the age of 33. Whatever one might think of his dirty tactics and lack of entertainment value, there is no doubt he was extremely good at his craft and his opinion as a pundit is valued and respected. He is also half-caste, but this ought to have no bearing on how we view his insight into boxing, for he obviously has an honest perspective - in contrast to the LDBC. LDBC stands for Lion's Den Boxing Community. It is a collection of Youtubers of and for Negroes of the Black Lives Matter variety and comprises channels like Thaboxingvoice, Worldbreaker Fighting and Blue Blood Sports TV. The bias shown towards black fighters and their monocular view of bouts and politics both within and outside the sport are as exaggerated as they are unsurprising. It is in this spirit in which LDBC Youtuber Barbershop Conversations approached Andre Ward to berate him about his views on heavyweights Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
