Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers a variety of themes, including Indigenous representation in cinema, systemic violence and its reflections in films like Menace II Society, feminist family dynamics as portrayed in Boys on the Side, and the critique of neoliberal narratives surrounding the AIDS crisis in Dallas Buyers Club. Each episode delves into the socio-political contexts surrounding these films, offering fresh interpretations and sparking conversation on significant social issues.
The Marching Revolution is where the past and future of the marching arts collide.
We tell the stories others won’t — the struggles, the resilience, and the people fighting to keep the spirit of drum corps and marching band alive.
Boots on the ground. Hearts in sync. Purpose complete.
Marching forward where no chains can hold. Hands in the dirt, we carve out gold.
🎺 Deep dives, all-age spotlights, and radical dreams for a new era.
March with us. Shape the future.
🎬 Marxists at the Movies – June Pride Month Premiere 🌈
This week, we're stepping into the ruins of glamour and class illusion with Grey Gardens. Host Edward Michael Francis (they/them) reads their featured article “House of Contradictions”, unpacking how this cult documentary reveals the tragic, theatrical collapse of bourgeois performance — and why it holds such a powerful place in queer canon.
We explore the Beales not as eccentrics, but as two women clawing their way out of a class cult, one delusion at a time. Come for the tattered flag dancing, stay for the collapse of ideology.
