Marxists at the Movies - Invidious

Marxists at the Movies

Leftist Nostalgia for the People!

This isn’t your film professor’s critique series — it’s a Marxist excavation of Hollywood’s prettiest lies.

Hosted (and co-hosted) by Edward Michael Francis — yes, both voices are me — Marxists at the Movies began as an AI-assisted experiment in dialogue and evolved into something stranger and truer: a one-person dialectic between the critic and the chaos. Every episode is a debate with myself — two versions of one mind dissecting the power, class, queerness, and labor hidden inside the frame.

Sometimes we argue. Sometimes we agree. Always, we dig deeper.

Myron the cat supervises production, offering editorial notes via tail flick.

🎬Marxists at the Movies - Every FOURTH Wednesday.
