Schrader Ep. 13: The Mosquito Coast (1986)

Hop on the launch, folks, we're heading to THE MOSQUITO COAST! Peter Weir's 1986 film scripted by Paul Schrader, that is. Join us for a conversation about the unfinished capitalist critique of prepper guys, the problems with Going Back To Nature, and how we are much smarter and better than Allie Fox generally because we have done more reading. Well, Ian has. One time I pitched Ian on a Patreon episode where I just ask him questions about agriculture for an hour, and this basically became that. For free! What a good podcast. Hope you all enjoy! By the way, the podcast I couldn't remember any real details about was this great Upstream episode with Kristen Ghodsee.
