Movies vs. Capitalism
Rivka and Frank are joined by science communicator and YouTube host Jade Kim to discuss the 1989 âWeird Alâ Yankovic comedy UHF . Jade and Frank are HUGE Weird Al fans, and Rivka is⊠patient. But even though this zany, fantastical movie starring the worldâs greatest song parodist and incredible live performer (Frank wrote this copy, FYI), the movie still manages to have strong opinions about the hyper-sensationalism of the modern TV era, the ruthlessness of market competition, and the value of public utility ownership. Also Weird Al rules. mutualaidla.org For next weekâs movie, weâll be watching the 1971 childrenâs classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. đ€ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON đ€ www.patreon.com/movies_vs_capitalism MVC donates its ad space to progressive or leftist causes and organizations.

The group discusses the filmâs themes around imperialism, war, revolution, radicalism, and what it means to compromise oneâs morals for the sake of the âgreater good.â They also ask the important question: what the hell was Forest Whitaker thinking?

Movies vs. Capitalism
Rivka and Frank close out the year with a final âholiday duetâ on the Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street . They debate whether Kris Kringle is in fact the REAL Santa or just the worldâs greatest salesman. Released during the second Red Scare, itâs unsurprising that the filmâs core moral is the need for âaltruistic capitalism.â But is it OK to allow a potentially unwell old man around thousands of children? As long as heâs making money â who cares, it turns out! Donât get us wrong, we both love this movie but HOLY SHIT this story is wild. MVC will be off until 2025, but weâll be back with an episode on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . đ€ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON đ€ www.patreon.com/movies_vs_capitalism MVC donates its ad space to progressive or leftist causes and organizations.

Rivka and Frank dive into Frankâs favorite Christmas movie, Scrooged, sparking a spirited debate: is this the story of genuine redemption or just a liberal fever dream where a narcissistic old white guy sprinkles a little charity while propping up capitalism's comfy cushions? Is Dickens rolling in his grave, or would he be giving a ghostly thumbs-up? Of course, they canât resist unpacking their wild theories about Luigi, the claims adjusterâtrust us, you donât want to miss it. đ€ TO HEAR THE FULL EPISODE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON đ€ www.patreon.com/movies_vs_capitalism For next weekâs movie, weâll be watching the classic American holiday film Miracle on 34th Street.âŠ

Could this movie even exist if Kevin McCallister werenât a white affluent child? Zero percent chance. The condescension, the entitlement, the PIGEON LADY.

Rivka and Frank welcome back returning guest Joe Mayall to talk about the latest installment in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus . They appreciate how director Fede Ălvarez doubles down on the anti-corporate themes of the original Alien , while finding new ways to freak the shit out of his audience. They also agree that android Andy stole the movie and unpack how his character arc is a sharp critique of AI. JoeWrote.com Weâll be taking off next week for Thanksgiving!

Rivka, Frank, and Matt discuss how the film, set during the 2008 financial crisis, serves as a subtextual critique of Obamaâs first term, how the âcriminalâ economy drives the plot of the film, and how the filmâs nihilism has become even more relatable today than when it was released.

Rivka and Frank are joined by award-winning infini-hyphenate artist Larry Powell (they/them) to discuss Steven Spielberg's 1991 classic Hook . Beloved by many, this live-action Peter Pan story starring Robin Williams doubles as a critique of capitalism's impact on family structure, reminding us of the importance of reconnecting with our inner child and radical imagination. The group also delves into the colonial nature of Neverland and its gender politics.
