Ebba Wester and Macon Holt talk about movies (new and old) in a super nerdy, fun, critical theory-inflected and engaging way. Sometimes other people talk too.

Uninspire by the end of summer spook fests at the cinema, Ebba and Macon dived into the classics. This time they take a look back at the Academy Award-winning, insanely prescient and oddly pretentious, "Network" from 1976. It is the story of how a middle-aged news anchor's mental breakdown becomes a cash cow for his broadcaster as rants against the world as it is. And as bad as it might have seemed then it might be even worse today.
