This week on the Poz Button we dive delicately into the shaping of the narrative of the Holocaust after watching the peculiar one-man show Hoaxocaust, in which a gay Jew searches for a Jewish identity that could exist if the Holocaust never happened. Spectre and Borzoi puzzle over this queer piece while also looking at the way movies like Judgment at Nuremberg and the Holocaust miniseries shaped the public imagination on the Holocaust.

Back to the 90s we go as this week on the Poz Button we talk about Roseanne, old and new. SeventhSon joins Borzoi and Paisios to reassess initial perception of the revival as they talk about the show as a possible steam valve or a bait-and-switch, and how the program has always been pozzed.

Pop 'em in the toaster! The Poz Button hits its 50th episode milestone with a very special episode. Join Borzoi, Paisios, and Julia for an in-depth discussion on the most reactionary and prophetic movie of all time: The Brave Little Toaster.
I want you to shitpost as hard as you can on this week's Poz Button. Borzoi grabs Jayoh de la Rey and take the episode to JF Gariepy's livestream to debate masculinity, consumerism, and the Chad Pitt vs the Virgin Norton in the classic 1999 Fincher flick, Fight Club.

Borzoi rolls out an experiment in bugmanism by recording a reaction to the first two episodes of the Waco miniseries. Stay tuned for the week-to-week reaction of this peculiar project that dramatizes the horrific events of the frequently misunderstood and lied about siege.
Crank up that Xurious and physically remove communists. This week on the Poz Button, Borzoi invites on General Belisarius and Glock Doctor to discuss a Laotian Stop-Motion film by the title of Jin-Roh. You might know it better as the Right Wing Death Squads movie. Strap in for a long chat about Japan, soldiers, war, PTSD, and yes, even anime.

This week on the Poz Button, Borzoi brings back DinoCon to talk about (((whiteness))), authenticity, ethnic humor, and hip hop culture in the curious 2003 comedy Malibu's Most Wanted. Positioned as a satire on hip hop and wiggers, the movie is an interesting example of a film that couldn't be made in this political age.

This week on the Poz Button Borzoi reconsiders his pricing model for paid episodes as he does an episode on the lost generation of men known as the Bronies, while also doing his best to do a PB on the recent My Little Pony movie. He's joined by Paisios, who to his credit took the concept seriously, and Roscoe, who unfortunately was beset by internet connection problems. Thank you to an anonymous donation on behalf of Exodus/Americanus for us to make sense of this phenomenon and its affect on Europa's sons. We couldn't have done it without you. Literally.

ZARPOZ SPEAKS TO YOU! Jimbo Vicarson returns to kinda, sorta talk about one of his favorite movies. Eventually. We are all over the place with this one, talking about what makes a "bad movie", the end of New Hollywood, 70's Science Fiction, and even super hero movies. We do talk about Zardoz though and it's terrifying vision of the future that gets truer with every passing day.
Sorry about the audio in the second half, nothing else could be done for it.
Corrections
I don't know where Jim got "George Lucasian/Lukasian" from. I looked it up after and Lucas isn't a shortened form of anything. His mother's surname is Bomberger though...

Borzoi manages to escape being a prisoner of a Rothschild party to bring part two of the Eyes Wide Shut deconstruction with fewer audio issues this time. He and Russell go deeper into the film to untangle the various themes of matrimony, the esoteric, and a film theory you've never heard before.
Corrections
- At around 1:15 mark when I started talking about Carnival, I meant to say it leads up to Lent, not the specific Resurrection of Christ on Easter.

An episode so huge it needed to be recorded twice and split into at least two parts. This week on the Poz Button, Borzoi and his guest Russell James, delve into the background history of Eyes Wide Shut, especially with its source material in Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle.
This week on the Poz Button we get into the end of masculinity with James Bond. Special guest Jay Lorenz, editor-in-chief of Fash the Nation.
Adolf Hitler: the man, the myth, the legend. Borzoi brings Jim from the Fatherland on to discuss, in the original German, the most amazing and colossal mistake (in a good way for us) of a Hitler movie, Er ist Wieder Da. Or as it's known here, Look Who's Back. Come for the laughs, stay for the Esoteric Hitlerism and Jungian analysis.

Borzoi achieves maximum sperg-out with a rambling three-hour art-fag discussion about the 1979 Russian film, Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. Yes, it partially inspired the video game, no I don't get into it. With guests John Corrine and Leitis.
You wanna make sure you're really degenerate, for when you get stabbed with a knife this Halloween. Borzoi summons Soap Merchant of the Darwin Digest, the alt-right's number one Friday the 13th fan, to talk about the franchise, the accidental conservatism of slasher movies, as well as the primal nature of horror in general. Happy spoopings!
Borzoi brings on Torso from DBLS88 to discuss a Spinster Horror Story and the most anti-semitic movie since the Eternal Jew: The Witches. Come for Roald Dahl, stay for Halloween, the Western occult tradition, and......Anarcho-Fascism???

This week on the Poz Button, Borzoi decides it's absolutely imperative to spend three hours dissecting the most antisemitic movie since Triumph of the Will: 2011's fashwave classic, Drive. We also break new ground by doing two segments, the first with Slug2_ and OzzyOi, the second part with Hans Lander of Myth of the 20th Century.
