Live from a Dying Democracy
This week on Projected Hues, Jessica and I bring our Political Dystopia series to a close with Good Night, and Good Luck (2005)—a stark, spine-straightening reminder of the price paid by those who dare to speak the truth. As Edward R. Murrow faces down McCarthyism with calm defiance, Clooney’s direction turns journalistic resolve into quiet rebellion. It’s a fitting finale to a season that’s been anything but easy on the truth—or our collective sanity in 2025.
But as one curtain falls, another strange portal opens.
Next, we launch into a brand-new series: Transcendent Realities—a journey into the hypnotic, the hallucinatory, and the deeply surreal. First stop: Louis Malle’s Black Moon (1975), a film that’s equal parts dream, allegory, and beautiful chaos.
Light up—things are about to get weird.
