One Film After Another
Manage episode 515178213 series 2619686
Due to holidays and other commitments, you get your pod a week EARLY this month! Lucky you!
There was so much political news to catch up on that we said "actually, fuck that" and did a movie pod instead. It's interesting though: 'Eddington' and 'One Battle After Another', two big "political" thrillers grappling in different ways with the modern world, have come out this year to much fanfare and controversy. We discuss both and ask: what makes a film Marxist? Does it matter?
There are light spoilers for both films in here, so here's a timestamp guide if you wanna avoid:
00:00 - supermarkets, the presidential election, Olly Murs.
24:08 - One Battle After Another
35:42: Eddington
53:53 onwards: we discuss the big twist at the heart of Eddington
