Frank Cappello, host of the new Lever podcast Movies vs. Capitalism, joins us to talk about the new podcast and how it’s ok to be critical of movies and also enjoy them. We make some Oscar predictions, discuss how Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked to make an address during the awards show (and was denied), war propaganda in films and we do a deep(ish) dive into one of the best picture nominees, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”You can find Movies vs. Capitalism on all podcast providers here: http://mvcpod.com/Our most recent premium episode with Ryan Broderick about the ethics of AI, Mr. Beast and more—which billions of listeners have said is the greatest Insurgents episode of all time—is available here:
