We talk the 2020 awards-sweeping movie 'Nomadland' with special guest (and former Amazon employee!) Aaron Carlson. We discuss the beauty of the movie and Chloe Zhao's direction coupled with its treatment of its source material, its relationship to behemoths like Amazon, and what labor and the 2008 recession means to us. 
 
This time around we encourage you to learn more about and support the fight for Amazon workers' rights. Though the election in Alabama has been counted, it is unclear how much of a hand Amazon had in influencing the results. What is clear is that the fight is not over.

Somebody Once Told Us that 'Shrek' is Gonna Roll Us

If you’re a film lover of any creed, you’re probably familiar with “the canon.” These movies are considered to be the greats for one reason or another. We started asking: Why do these movies get praised? Whether a financial or critical success, cult favorite, or film with some legacy, we’re going to talk about two things:
1. Why we think this movie got praised? 
2. Is it actually any good?

If you’ve ever loved a movie despite feeling like it wasn’t made for you or hated a movie that you were told is made for everyone, this is the podcast for you.
