A French Marxist Take on the Big Lebowski with John Hagemann
Update: 2021-05-10
Description
You may be a Big Lebowski fan, but have you considered the role of late stage capitalism in the film? What about the twists it takes every time one character's name is used? John Hagemann has not just noticed these things, but writing extensively about them. He spent a semester in grad school analyzing the film through a dozen different lenses, and in this episode he takes us on a looping trip through the movie and back again. We talk about why the Big Lebowski isn't so big after all. We talk about the power of Maude, and the meaning of the fantastic dream sequences. Take an hour to think about one of America's great flicks in some new ways.
