In support of Microbudget Filmmaking, Rob and Kay have started a new series where they both spotlight a film & the filmmakers in order to glean all the golden goodness for those of us in the trenches trying to make Marvels out of A24's. This week, Kay was MIA (again!) so Rob sat down with Adam Mervis (writer/director) and Mark Stolaroff (producer), of the film, The Last Days of Capitalism. We also -- like we do -- got into the various Twitter dust ups -- WE SEE FTW(!) -- and got into tea over everyone's favorite corporate overlord villain, WBDiscovery, and their diversity program shenanigans. Our Weekly Resource: The Last Days of Capitalism. Available for free on Amazon Prime and Tubi, you too can check out this little miracle of a film and form your own opinion of what the title means to you.
