About this episode

In this final episode of the Oak Cliff Film Festival series, Brandon Daley discusses his film $POSITIONS and explores themes of addiction and ethics in modern society.

Part 5, the final episode in the Oak Cliff Film Festival series wherein Luke Henshaw and Justin Pearson talk with Brandon Daley about the upcoming film, $POSITIONS, as well as Brandon's previous work. They discuss the off the wall dark comedy style of his films, and dive into topics related to $POSITIONS such as gambling addiction, and specifically with cryptocurrency. They also touch upon the massive topic of late stage capitalism and where any ethics may or may not exist, while trying to point out the parallels with addiction to religion, drugs, and the fact that online gambling is equivalent to the stock market that never closes. The conversation weaves in and out of many topics, some serious and some not so serious, since Brandon's work has characters that you want to loathe and at times, somehow love.
