Rat Race (w/ Thalia Sablon)

102 min • 19 juni 2024

Rivka and Frank are joined by playwright Thalia Sablon for a conversation about the wild 2001 screwball comedy Rat Race. They discuss how the film's celebrity-packed cast represents a dying culture, the shockingly anti-capitalist character arcs, and how the movie may have been an inspiration for Squid Game.

Thalia Sablon - Website

For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 2009 documentary Capitalism: A Love Story.
