In the fall of 2000, I taught an adult education class entitled Philosophy on Film, where we discussed The Matrix, American Beauty, Ground Hog Day, Network, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Gattaca, and Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Network lecture from October 11, 2000, is presented here. It was recorded on a cassette player, so the sound quality is not great. But I thought it worth sharing anyway. There are some abrupt transitions in the last thirty minutes especially, due to the fact that I edited out questions from the audience. I have tapes of all the classes, but the one on Fight Club is unlistenable.
I have some brief remarks on Network here.

Network is one of the best film recommendations I’ve got off this site. Great film
I’m really enjoying these philosophy and film lectures. This one, especially, got into some of our big issues. If red-pilled instructors put their minds to it, they can do this while still practicing cya.
Thanks. I am going to share the Gattaca, Crimes & Misdemeanors, and Ground Hog Day lectures as well.
Nice remarks about feminism.
Feminism tries to get women to compete with men as (wo)men. This is a losing proposition. They cannot possibly hope to win (with exceptions). So you create unhappy women who discover the lei too late, once they cannot have children anymore.
Greg could you interview John Marks on your podcast?
I think it would be a good conversation.
