A lot can happen in 20 minutes on an episode of In Pursuit of Utopia: we discuss Marshall McLuhan, cybernetics, the "crisis of democracy," Rules For Radicals, utopian socialism, and Donald Trump.

(FULL AUDIO: 99 MINUTES) In Pursuit of Utopia (Episode 9) New Harmony and Beyond

Kevin Cole joins Danny and Brett once again to wrap-up the exploration of New Harmony.

Discussed:

- After its collapse, was New Harmony (or the broader work of Owen) cited by later social planners, philosophers, etc.? In what context?
- What is the legacy of New Harmony? What impact did the experiment have on American history?
- The real Illuminati: What was the significance of Pestalozzi's membership?
- Where does Kevin's personal interest in New Harmony come from? What is most interesting/important about New Harmony?
- How does the experiment at New Harmony compare to the American experiment? Are they necessarily opposed philosophies?
- Are there any elements of New Harmony that you think have rightly been incorporated into our society? Are there any other elements you would like to see incorporated?

Released May 20, 2020 on Patreon, A/V Club and SubscribeStar.

Picture of the Month Club - May 2020 - No Country For Old Men
Installment #7 (AUDIO, 116 MINUTES)
"The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willin' to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet somethin' I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say: 'O.K., I'll be part of this world.' - Sheriff Bell
PICTURE OF THE MONTH CLUB is a monthly series featuring Dutch - a delightful, insightful and successful film maker who wants to teach you the grammar and logic of cinema. Many will remember Dutch from the CINEMAnufacturing series.
