On Celebrity Speeches and Platforms of Passivity
Manage episode 311973205 series 3207604
Originally intended to be an episode on politics and media, your favorite hosts got derailed and decided to stick to one topic and expand upon it. This episode of postmodpod looks at cinema celebrities Bong Joon-ho, Joaquin Phoenix, and Marlon Brando, and what they did to politicize their platforms. Spoiler alert - not enough. Giving a speech isn't enough.
