Marxists at the Movies

My cat Myron has officially taken over my birthday.

In true 1950s advertising fashion, they’ve appointed themselves the “discerning customer” of CineMarch Media — and yes, they even wore the ridiculous birthday hat… under protest, of course.

Featuring mid-century charm, sparkling confetti, and one unimpressed feline spokesperson, this poster celebrates another year of life, art, revolution, and a whole lot of Myron energy.

If you love what we do here at CineMarch Media —

— stick around. There’s so much more coming.

Happy Birthday to me. Myron approves. (Barely.)

Marxists at the Movies

Our next Marxists at the Movies episode drops November 5th — Ordinary People (1980): Portrait of a Family Drowning.

This is our 50th Patreon early-access release in just seven months and it’s already live for our supporters right now!

This one hits close to home — it’s not just our favorite drama, it’s one of our most personal stories. Ordinary People is about grief, control, and the quiet rebellions that happen behind perfect doors. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the performance of “normal,” this one’s for you.

Myron, our revolutionary feline mascot, supervised the final mix (by sleeping on my keyboard), and they give it four purrs and a tail flick of approval. 🐾

Marxists at the Music – The Innovators (1993): Capitalism’s Accidentally Intentional Soundtrack

🎧 This episode drops publicly on Wednesday, October 29 — but you can listen RIGHT NOW on Patreon!

What if the smoothest pop of the early ’90s wasn’t just background noise — but capitalism’s favorite soundtrack?

In this episode of Marxists at the Music, Edward breaks down how The Innovators (1993) accidentally — or maybe not so accidentally — scored the neoliberal dream. From glossy synths to smiling optimism, this “feel-good” music became the sound of a system selling you comfort while gutting your future.

Expect sharp analysis, dark humor, and a few surprise purrs from Executive Producer Myron the Cat, who believes the true innovation was figuring out how to nap through late-stage capitalism.

Marxists at the Movies

🎶 New episode drops September 10th!

This month’s Marxists at the Music dives into Shakespeare’s Sister’s 1992 gothic-pop masterpiece Hormonally Yours. From the haunting melodrama of “Stay” to the album’s unapologetic mix of camp and catastrophe, we’ll unpack how it carved space for a femininity that was both nurturing and dangerous — and why its echoes still run through music today.

Stay tuned for the full release on September 10th.

Marxists at the Movies

🚨 New Episode — Early Release for Patrons Aug 16, 2025 🚨
🎧 Public Release: Aug 20, 2025

Spring break, 1960 — sun, surf, and a surprisingly sharp critique of gender roles. Where the Boys Are looks like a frothy beach comedy, but underneath the bikinis and bossa nova beats is a story about sexual double standards, postwar consumerism, and the push-pull between liberation and respectability.

In this episode of Marxists at the Movies, we dig into how this beachside classic reflects the anxieties of its era, from the rise of mass youth culture to the traps laid for women seeking autonomy. Plus, we honor Connie Francis — the film’s musical heart — whose song “Pretty Little Baby” went viral on TikTok shortly before her passing, giving her one last moment of well-deserved recognition.

🎙 Listen Aug 20, 2025 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and at www.cinemarchmedia.com

Wide release on Wednesday, August 13 everywhere else

Lady Gaga was a fame avatar.

With The Fame, she didn’t just chase stardom—she became the product. In this episode of Marxists at the Music, we dig into how Gaga blurred the line between identity and commodity, wrapped it in synthpop, and sold it back to us as performance art.

Marxists at the Movies

✨ New episode drops TODAY July 23 at 4AM! ✨

Get your coffee ready—because we’re heading to Stars Hollow and peeling back the wallpaper on one of TV’s most beloved (and bougie) fairy tales.

This week on Marxists at the Movies:
"Bougie! Bougie! Bougie: Gilmore Girls (2000–2007) and the False, Cozy Promise of Liberal Feminism."

We’re talking mother-daughter exceptionalism, class erasure, neoliberal comfort, and why Paris Geller might be the only one who knows what show she’s actually in.

☕ It’s fast-talking.
💸 It’s legacy-coded.
📺 And it’s way more capitalist than you remember.
