The valley girls have entered the apocalypse—and late-stage capitalism better watch its back. 🧟‍♀️🛍️

In this episode of Marxists at the Movies, we take a radioactive deep dive into 1984’s Night of the Comet, a cult classic where mall culture meets mass extinction. What happens when consumerism collapses and teenage girls inherit the Earth? We explore themes of feminine resilience, Cold War paranoia, government bio-violence, and the eerie freedom that emerges after societal implosion.

Also: should Reggie and Sam unionize?

For our final Pride Month 2025 installment, Marxists at the Movies heads to Buffalo—by way of Broadway—with a deep dive into Stepping Out (1991). Liza Minnelli leads a stacked cast of queer-coded legends in this criminally overlooked tap-dancing gem. From its quietly radical ensemble energy to its New Wave rejection of glamor in favor of community, this film isn’t just feel-good—it’s anti-capitalist at its core.

They were never supposed to be stars. But they showed up anyway.

S1E23 - 2LGBTQIA+ Pride Month - Priscilla Queen of the Desert vs. To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

✨ Want early access, bonus episodes, and behind-the-scenes chaos?Join us on Patreon: patreon.com/cinemarchmedia🌐 Visit our official website: cinemarchmedia.com🎤 We’re back — and this time, it’s live.

This Pride Month, we’re going full rhinestone revolution. In this episode, we put To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in conversation—two iconic '90s films that brought drag to the big screen, but did it in radically different ways. We unpack American sentimentality vs. Aussie surrealism, camp vs. critique, and the politics of queer visibility in a pre-RuPaul’s Drag Race world. What do these films still teach us? And what got lost in translation on the road from Priscilla’s desert to Wong Foo’s heartland?

S1E22 - 2LGBTQIA+ Pride Month BONUS: Marxists at the Music - Kat and the Hurricane - Got it Out (2024)

🎤✨ This month on Marxists at the Music, we’re tuning in to the storm. Kat and the Hurricane’s 2024 album Got It Out isn’t just a record — it’s a battle cry, a breakdown, and a breakthrough. Genre-fluid, emotionally exposed, and bursting with resistance, this album smashes through labels and dares you to feel everything.

We explore the record’s themes of survival, queer embodiment, burnout, trauma, capitalism, community, and that sacred act of getting it out before it eats you alive. From shimmering synths to guttural screams, from punk spirit to pop catharsis — this is music as rebellion.

💥 You don’t need a record deal to spark a revolution. You just need a voice, a beat, and a refusal to be quiet.

🩷🎶 Kat and the Hurricane made a healing machine disguised as an album — and we’re here to open it up, track by track.

S1E21 - 2LGBTQIA+ Pride Month 2025 - TV Spotlight - Ellen (1994-1998)

Season 1 · Episode 21

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 25:15

Visibility, Backlash, and the Cost of Being First
A Marxists at the Movies TV Spotlight SpecialSupport our work and get early access to full articles and audio at ⁠patreon.com/cinemarchmedia⁠.

In 1997, Ellen DeGeneres came out—and television would never be the same.

This special episode explores the sitcom Ellen as a cultural turning point. From its subversive structure to the historic “Puppy Episode,” we trace how the show challenged network norms, made queer identity visible, and paid the price for it. We’ll also examine the long shadow of backlash, Ellen’s rise and fall, and how capitalism devours authenticity—even as it pretends to celebrate it.

Spoiler warning: we’re going deep.
And yes, Myron is mentioned.

Follow us for more unintentional communist masterpieces, cultural deep-dives, and unapologetically leftist media critique. New episodes drop every Wednesday!

S1E20 - 2LGBTQIA+ Pride Month 2025 - Grey Gardens (1975) (AI HOSTS!)

Season 1 · Episode 20

Wednesday, June 4, 2025 • Duration 36:57

🎬 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.

S1E19 - Worker's Month 2025: The Bircage (1996) (AI HOSTS!)

Season 1 · Episode 19

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 52:28

🎭 The Birdcage (1996) | Marxists at the Movies

To close out International Workers' Month, we're going full feather boa with a Marxist lens on Mike Nichols' The Birdcage. What happens when queerness is sanitized for respectability? What does it mean when the working class in drag is asked to behave for the sake of the ruling class? And how does this compare to the original La Cage aux Folles, which was far more unapologetic in its mess and politics?

We’re talking performance, patriarchy, and pink-washed politics—because drag may be art, but it's also labor. Join us for a sharp, funny, and unflinching dive into the contradictions of gay visibility under capitalism.

S1E18 - Worker's Month 2025: Dolores Claiborne (1995) (AI HOSTS!)

Season 1 · Episode 18

Wednesday, May 21, 2025 • Duration 45:11

For International Workers Month, we travel to the rugged coast of Maine to uncover the revolutionary fury buried in Dolores Claiborne (1995). In this Marxist analysis of Taylor Hackford’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel, we examine class struggle, domestic labor, and generational trauma through the eyes of one of cinema’s most complex working-class heroines.

Kathy Bates gives a towering performance as Dolores—a housekeeper accused of murder, a mother with secrets, and a woman who has had enough. We explore the film’s blistering indictment of patriarchal violence, the invisible weight of unpaid labor, and how capitalism isolates and silences the women it depends on most.

This is not a horror story. It’s a labor story. And sometimes, being a “bitch on wheels” is the only way to survive.

New episodes of Marxists at the Movies drop every other Wednesday at 10 a.m. MST / 12 p.m. EST. Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your radical cinema.

S1E17 - Worker's Month 2025 : TLC - CrazySexyCool (1994) (AI HOSTS!)

Season 1 · Episode 17

Saturday, May 17, 2025 • Duration 35:25

In this bonus episode of Marxists at the Music, we dive deep into TLC’s groundbreaking album CrazySexyCool — not just the hits, but the history. We unpack the group’s fight for fair pay, their infamous bankruptcy filing, and how they challenged the exploitative machine of the 1990s music industry while selling millions. This isn't just a story about pop icons — it's a story about labor, image, and resistance.
