No Concessions!

Your favorite gang of militant movie lovers are back for an all-new season of hijinks and takeovers from their small town single screen cinema.The Reel Politik guerillas discuss how to be an effective revolutionary while fighting the all-consuming evils of corporate Hollywood. Meditate! Fight  your inner urge to binge watch! Engage in a cinema fast to truly appreciate the oeuvre of  an auteur! Realism is bourgeois!In an attempt to thwart a Hollywood studio from coopting the story of the Weather Underground, the  gang then pursues its own cinematic celebration of their hero Bernardine Dohrn. “There are no good or bad movies, only correct or false ones.” Along the way the gang gets sidetracked to start the MLIB, the Marxist Leninist International Baseball league.With his trademark slapstick zingers, Gelgud lovingly skewers leftist radical politics while simultaneously illustrating how late stage capitalism has made ethical decision making fraught with compromise. At once a celebration of what makes Hollywood and independent local cinema great and a call to arms to protect it.

Elf Unwrapped

Step into the magical world of ELF with this captivating oral history, written by beloved comedian and actor Andy Richter, who watched the on-set shenanigans unfold before his very eyes, and featuring a foreword by Will Ferrell Ever since Elf hit theaters, audiences around the world have fallen in love with the story of Buddy, the charming (and oversized) "elf" with a heart of gold. But what most people don’t know is that when the screenplay first hit Hollywood, no studio was willing to touch it. How, then, did such a risky gamble turn into one of the most beloved Christmas classics of all time? In this laugh-out-loud oral history, comedian and co-star Andy Richter goes on a mission to find out by reconnecting with the very people who brought this festive vision to life. Through exclusive interviews, hilarious anecdotes, and heartfelt reflections with key players like Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, director Jon Favreau, and many others, Andy ultimately unwraps the story of how a quirky holiday film about a human raised by elves became such an enduring cultural phenomenon. Packed with never-before-seen photos, behind-the-scenes secrets, a foreword by Buddy himself (aka Will Ferrell), and a sprinkle of festive fun, this book is the perfect gift for anyone who believes in the magic of Christmas—and knows that the best way to spread holiday cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.
