High-Rise - Free-market Film Analysis

We're going to record a hot one tonight.  Brace yourselves for a tirade or two from Robert on this one as we welcome James Jenneman, the Urban Agorist on to talk about the class-warfare flick from 2015, High-Rise. Tom Hiddleston stars as Dr. Laing, resident in a high-tech skyscraper which places him amongst the upper class.  Life seems like paradise.  But, as building flaws emerge the social strata begins to crumble and the building descends into a class war. Based on a dystopian novel by J.G. Ballard, it has Shining-vibes. Is it all in his head? Is the "building" haunted? Is the architect the mastermind who is pulling all the strings and realizing that central planning doesn't work? We will discuss all that and more on this one. Be sure to join us next week as we remember the great Sean Connerrey in one of his iconic roles as James Bond as we review “From Russia with Love” with the boorish, Professional Asshole.
