The Big Chill: Neoliberal Parable

The Big Chill: Neoliberal Parable

This week on Cinema Studious we revisit The Big Chill and read it as a subtly prescient political satire, one that, along with Socko, poses the question, "Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every sociopolitical conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?"

A Time to Kill: The Background Talks Back

Interstellar: The Engi-nearsighted Spermatic Journey

This week Interstellar gets its groove back as we discuss its blatant coloniality and techno-optimism. Is this movie a bold reinvigoration of human ingenuity or one big colonial cumshot?

Reverse Rumspringa

Travel with us to the Amish paradise of Peter Weir's Witness, a subtly self-aware cultural kamikaze of a film that we dare to suggest is not very much like Austin Powers.
