Ep:20 The Dystopian Present of Cinema, Part 1

The Thriving Crew welcomes the multi-talented and T.i.D. junkie Dave Harris to the show to discuss the state of cinema in the pandemic.  They start with developing DH’s 5-colliding-crises framework (not to be mixed up with Kill Bill’s 5-finger-exploding-heart technique): public health, economic, racial justice, climate, and mental health.  They then discuss great movies that fit in to each of these categories.  This week delves into the public health and economic crises.
