About
Do you feel lost? Do you lament the loss of conversation and friendship when we weren’t so worried about our dystopian hellscape? Do you feel your brain withering within the vast and vacuous world that exists in the reels moving beneath your fingertips? We have all lost part of ourselves to the besotted and brain rotted feedback loops of gratification and destruction. But be calm. BooF FM is here to save you. Will you answer the call? BooF FM is a pioneering and groundbreakingly derivative corner of long-form critical evaluation which focuses predominantly on film discussion, music and otherwise boofable media, from two hosts who could hardly be less qualified to inform you.. Every other week BooF FM will be diving head first into the films everyone is boofing today and using that to jump backwards and around the world to films which may have been of influence, or simply have explored the same themes. With this we will greater understand the formal, authorial and auteurist modes of the medium, and how they have helped us metabolize crumbs of the human condition. Let us get back to the ways we used to distract ourselves from the horrors of the world - with art that makes us feel something! We invite our listeners to close the apps and throw down your digital appendages! Then to pick them back up again and open another app wherein you can stream our show! Tune in and listen and learn again to love these artforms alongside us. Tune in every other Thursday (or via streaming) to be part of the movement critics are calling: “A rivetinging, eruditious stroll through global cinema history, with carefully curated filmographies filtered through a critical lens. It exists in the intersection between Frederic Jameson and Julia Kristeva, but with a voice wholly contemporary and singular.” -ChatGPT “All art is other art. And that is fundamental to Boof FM’s discursive approach to cinema. Both funny and touching, the listener won’t be left unmoved by the discussions and musical selections.” -AskGrok “BooF FM likely refers to “boofing”, a slang term for rectally administering drugs, alcohol or otherwise. FM likely refers to Frequency Modulation - known mostly as a type of radio - or Football Manager, the world’s most detailed football management simulation.” - Google AI Overview No water was wasted consulting AI on this or any of our pages
