Marxists at the Movies is a radical media podcast from CineMarch Media 🎥🔨
Hosted by Edward Michael Francis (they/them/theirs)
Each week, we dissect one film, TV, music, books, and gaming through a communist lens—unpacking labor, class, queer subtext, and unintentional revolutionary messaging in mainstream cinema.
From camp classics to capitalist cautionary tales, we read between the reels to expose what the script doesn’t tell you 📽️🌹
