/315/ Shallow & Wrongheaded Filmic Squabbles II ft. Maren Thom & Alex Dale
Added 2023-01-17 13:45:39 +0000 UTCOn cinema in 2023 and 'anti-capitalist' film & TV.
[Patreon Exclusive]
We continue our discussion with Maren Thom and Alex Dale from the Performance Anxiety podcast. We debate representation in film, and the backlash against wokeness as a form of anti-politics.
Also, looking forward to what cinema might hold in 2023 and what do works like White Lotus, The Menu, and Triangle of Sadness actually tell us about the elite they portray, or for that matter, anti-capitalism today?

I had to bail on this one because of the SPOILERZ warning towards the end, but it wasn’t any better than the free episode. I rather hoped a Bunga Film Club would have covered more broad trends or comparisons — to be topical for 2022, eg representations of Batman — rather than a top 2 or 3 for the year.
