Killing Them Softly (w/ Matt Strackbein)
Manage episode 448801248 series 3441224
Matt Strackbein (AKA The Letterhack) is back on MVC to talk about Andrew Dominik’s bleak 2012 crime drama Killing Them Softly. Rivka, Frank, and Matt discuss how the film, set during the 2008 financial crisis, serves as a subtextual critique of Obama’s first term, how the “criminal” economy drives the plot of the film, and how the film’s nihilism has become even more relatable today than when it was released.
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 1977 John Travolta smash hit Saturday Night Fever.
