Fantastic anti-capitalist content as always from The Lever

Mugly Wumple
 Feb 7, 2023
First episode was great, reflecting the political and economic zeitgeist of the Reagan era from an anticapitalist perspective; a rarely heard viewpoint.

Description

MOVIES VS. CAPITALISM explores the politics of your favorite films through an anti-capitalist lens and the crucial intersection between pop culture and politics. Each episode, hosts Rivka and Frank are joined by a guest for a critical discussion about a movie and the ideological messages baked into it.
