I used to think Static-X was the heaviest, most badass band out there. I loved all of their stuff and bumped it daily up through high school. It’s funny, because there was like a ten year gap where they were very un-cool to everyone after that, but now they seem to be having a kind of resurgence with a new front man. Saw them live a few months ago and the venue was packed with a 50/50 split of zoomers and old farts

Chat Pile has been my newest obsession! Hope to catch their show sometime soon

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. The whole movie is a trip, but specifically the Large Marge scene freaked me out for a long time growing up.

Whenever I introduce people to the concepts of Marxism, fascism, capitalism, etc., I start by recommending two books:

Wages of Rebellion by Chris Hedges

and

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti

Both are written in very accessible language and both do a great job at not just explaining these economic/political theories, but also adding historical context to ground the theories in real-world actions.
