S1E20 - 2LGBTQIA+ Pride Month 2025 - Grey Gardens (1975) (AI HOSTS!)

🎬 Marxists at the Movies – June Pride Month Premiere 🌈
This week, we're stepping into the ruins of glamour and class illusion with Grey Gardens. Host Edward Michael Francis (they/them) reads their featured article “House of Contradictions”, unpacking how this cult documentary reveals the tragic, theatrical collapse of bourgeois performance — and why it holds such a powerful place in queer canon.

We explore the Beales not as eccentrics, but as two women clawing their way out of a class cult, one delusion at a time. Come for the tattered flag dancing, stay for the collapse of ideology.
