The Crit Club is riding this wave of late stage capitalism right back to 1989 so we can learn how to better ourselves with the help of Bruce Robinson’s black comedy How to Get Ahead in Advertising. This satirical bit of consumer culture backlash examines the lengths to which the pressure of a pitch can get to one specific ad man, and we watch him unravel in a pretty unique way. But what did we think? You’ll have to listen to find out. 

We’re going to take a week off to celebrate Coire’s birthday (thanks for being born!), but after that, we’ll be back together for a Wizard Pick™ (cue ripping guitar riff). We’ll hang around in the UK’s 1980s and watch Ken Russell’s 1986 movie Gothic. Join us for that!

You can follow the whole of our podcast, aided by ⁠this helpful spreadsheet⁠ which documents all the scores we gave to the movies we have watched.
