Your favorite gang of militant movie lovers are back for an all-new season of hijinks and takeovers from their small town single screen cinema.The Reel Politik guerillas discuss how to be an effective revolutionary while fighting the all-consuming evils of corporate Hollywood. Meditate! Fight your inner urge to binge watch! Engage in a cinema fast to truly appreciate the oeuvre of an auteur! Realism is bourgeois!In an attempt to thwart a Hollywood studio from coopting the story of the Weather Underground, the gang then pursues its own cinematic celebration of their hero Bernardine Dohrn. There are no good or bad movies, only correct or false ones. Along the way the gang gets sidetracked to start the MLIB, the Marxist Leninist International Baseball league.With his trademark slapstick zingers, Gelgud lovingly skewers leftist radical politics while simultaneously illustrating how late stage capitalism has made ethical decision making fraught with compromise. At once a celebration of what makes Hollywood and independent local cinema great and a call to arms to protect it.
