Hammer & Camera

Hammer & Camera's Taylor and Phil are your communist guides through the wild world of contemporary cinema. We look for the beautiful and powerful, but also the weird and contradictory, in movies released today.

Episode 68: Nobody Loves You and You Don't Deserve to Exist [with Brett Gregory and Jack Clarke]

In the sixty-eighth episode of the Hammer & Camera podcast, we have the privilege of discussing a truly unique film and interviewing its filmmakers. Nobody Loves You and You Don't Deserve to Exist is a work of socialist absurdism, a gonzo filmmaking production that attempts to reveal profound truths about human existence under late capitalism. We offer our review of the film and interview director Brett Gregory and producer Jack Clarke about their inspirations, the film's storied production, and how audiences have responded.
