The 18th of the Vanguard Podcasts, featuring Richard Spencer, Andy Nowicki, and Colin Liddell. In this edition they discuss M. Night Shyamalan's mystery thriller The Village (2004). Is the film a subversive and "paleoconservative" take on implicit Whiteness or a reaction to the chronophobia of the early 21st century? Also, are the "villagers" cowards for engaging in "White Flight" from the modern world, and, if so, why do they wittingly keep fear alive in the woods beyond?
