Welcome to Marxists at the Movies!
This is where every MATM episode lives — film deep dives, TV Spotlights, Marxists at the Music, bonus features, and the occasional cinematic meltdown. We break down movies the way they actually function in the world: as political documents, emotional battlegrounds, and little capitalist propaganda machines wearing pretty costumes.
Every episode asks the same question:
What’s hiding under the plot that the script doesn’t want you to notice?
Scroll down to explore the full catalog. Watch what you want, in whatever order you want — we’re not your studio executive.
And yes, Myron supervises all uploads.

About Marxists at the Movies
"We're the critics this cinema needs!"
"What the script doesn’t tell you"
Marxists at the Movies is CineMarch's media analysis show for anyone who loves not only cinema, but also music and television (and even the occasional book and video game!) For those of us who refuse to ignore the machinery behind the screen and speaker. We sift through stories the way an editor sifts through raw footage — looking for meaning, contradictions, and the little ideological jump cuts the audience isn’t supposed to catch.
We talk about class, power, culture, representation, and the politics embedded in every frame.
We reject traditional spoiler warnings because the idea of a “spoiler” is manufactured scarcity. Studios frame plot information as a commodity meant to protect profit, not art. That mindset trains audiences to treat stories like fragile products instead of cultural texts built for analysis and critique.
Meaning doesn’t disappear when you know the ending. In fact, it often becomes easier to examine structure, ideology, and intent. So while we offer courtesy notices when needed, we don’t treat plot details as something that must be guarded. Art survives scrutiny; profit depends on secrecy.
But we also keep it fun: sharp humor, queer sensibility, autistic clarity, emotional honesty, and a cat who thinks they’re the real producer.
If you’ve ever watched a movie and thought, “Okay, but what’s really going on here?” — welcome home, Comrade!
HOSTS
Meet the Hosts(AKA: the world’s least synchronized twoish-person team + one cat.)
Edward 1 — The Analyst
Calm voice. NPR energy. Academic knife skills.
Edward 1 handles structure, theory, symbolism, and the part of the show that sounds like someone who has definitely read a book on purpose. He is the grounding force — thoughtful, meticulous, and occasionally overwhelmed by the chaos next to him.
“Let’s return to the text, because the text is always where the truth begins.”
Myron — Special Guest Host & Feline Cultural Critic
The silent star of CineMarch Media.
Myron Rosander Francis attends every writing session, supervises every episode from their cat bed, and contributes essential commentary through tail movements, slow blinks, and dramatic flops. Their official title is Treats and Pets Procurement, and frankly, they do the best work here.

“I would’ve cut Act Two, but nobody asked the cat.”
"Projecting rebellion onto the silver screen's scenes..."
Edward 2 — The Gay Id
No impulse control. Eternal chaos muppet.
Edward 2 brings the emotions, the jokes, the tangents, the flamboyant analysis, and the parts of the show that feel like someone bolted a drag queen onto a political science lecture. He says what everyone else is thinking but also the things nobody was thinking until suddenly they were.

The Theme Song
“Marxists at the Movies” — Country Rock Reclaimed
When we set out to make a theme song, we had two realities:
-
We wanted a sound that slapped, and
-
We had exactly zero dollars for studio musicians.
So we turned to Suno — an AI music tool that let us build something bold, catchy, and unmistakably us in minutes.
And we chose country rock on purpose.
Country music is one of the most heavily appropriated art forms in the United States — shaped by Black, working-class, immigrant, and Indigenous traditions, then sanitized and corporatized by capital. So we’re reclaiming it.
The result?
A cinematic, boots-stomping, proletarian anthem that hits like a steel-toed critique wrapped in a hook you’ll be humming all week.
Below are the full lyrics.
And if you want to hear the whole track, just click the button and let the rebellion play.
Lyrics - "Marxists at the Movies"
Verse 1
Scene opens wide, lights dim down low.
The cinema whispers where truths can grow.
From shadows deep and screens ignite,
The proletariat comes alive tonight… tonight!
Chorus
Marxists at the Movies, bright and raw.
Breaking through the reels to rewrite the law.
Workers of the world in every frame,
Changing the credits, rewriting the name.
Verse 2
Popcorn power and a working-class dream.
Each flickers with a revolutionary beam.
The heroes rise from the factory floor,
Challenging the scripts and demanding more.
Bridge
Behind the velvet curtain lies the fight,
Directors of destiny taking the light.
The dialogue chimes with justice in stride,
The proletariat walks where stars collide… collide!
Chorus
Marxists at the Movies, bright and raw.
Breaking through the reels to rewrite the law.
Workers of the world in every frame,
Changing the credits, rewriting the name.
Verse 3
Blockbusters topple in an epic embrace.
Let the ruling class vanish without a trace!
We’re the heroes this cinema needs,
Projecting rebellion onto the silver screen’s scenes.
