About this episode

The episode discusses the decline of media literacy in film and critiques the Right's approach to movie watching.

Hi. On today's episode: Movies! We talk about movies. Specifically, the changes in Hollywood now that "Obsession" and "Backrooms" were big hits while the new Star Wars flopped, why media literacy when it comes to movies has gone down the drain, and why the Right is so bad at just watching movies normally. Note: this episode contains spoilers for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," "Obsession," and "The Odyssey.” PATREON: https://patreon.com/somemorenews MERCH: https://shop.somemorenews.com YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvlj0IzjSnNoduQF0l3VGng/join Hosted by Cody Johnston Executive Producer - Katy Stoll Directed by Will Gordh Written by David Christopher Bell Produced by Jonathan Harris Edited by Gregg Meller Post-Production Supervisor / Motion Graphics & VFX - John Conway Researcher - Marco Siler-Gonzales Graphics by Clint DeNisco Head Writer - David Christopher Bell #SpiderMan #Obsession #MattWalsh Subscribe today to get a 1-month supply of AG Omega-3 with your first AG1 order!
