Show notes

Rivka and Frank are joined by Chris Myers, an Obie Award-winning actor, organizer, and founder of Anticapitalism for Artists, to discuss Alfonso Cuarón's masterpiece Children of Men. They talk about how this 2006 film is scarily reflective of today's world and our failing social systems, the theme of “faith vs. chance,” and the various forms of organizing that activists utilize in the movie and what we can learn from them.

Ghostbusters (w/ David Sirota) Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

On the inaugural episode of Movies vs. Capitalism, Rivka and Frank are joined by journalist, writer, and The Lever founder David Sirota to discuss the Reagan-era classic Ghostbusters. They discuss how the film’s pro-business, anti-government messages are baked into almost every scene, which is extra troubling considering the movie was was largely marketed to children. They also dig into the film’s sexual politics, specifically how Peter Venkman is a next level creep.
