I just listened to an episode of "The Movies that Made Me" (I think with Paul Schrader?) where they contend that major studios don't care quite that much about the messaging in these films. I think selling a movie about labor unions would have been hard for the last forty years due to American culture's (increased antipathy?) towards unions in general. It feels like that sentiment is finally getting pushed back, and I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see more indies based on organizers like those in Buffalo. See Salt.
Crazy to see Abdul's career take off. Shortly before covid he was doing a small socialist movie podcast (like literally under 1000 listeners). Also, I'm 99% sure he's the anonymous romcom writer guest that was on citations needed, because he has some pretty distinctive mannerisms.
