Capitalist satires are impossible to escape right now - The Menu, Parasite, Sorry to Bother You, and Ready or Not are only a few of many. In this episode, Thea and Asina weigh in on why these anti-capitalist-y movies are all the rage - and how they might perpetuate the same issues they claim to dissect.

Mild to intense spoilers for The Menu, Parasite, Sorry to Bother You, and Ready or Not are present.
