Working for a Living

In a world where movies rely on marketing more than ever to connect with audiences, one podcast aims to make sense of it all…

What’s in this episode?

In honor of Labor Day, we look at how movies show and sell us the agony and glory of work.

On today’s episode we’re talking about work. Why? Because:

  • Labor Day is coming! While it’s not exactly a thematic movie holiday like Christmas or Halloween, maybe it should be?
  • The average person spends a third of their life or 90,000 hours working — so work is a pretty universally relatable topic. But do the movies accurately reflect the role of work in our lives?

MARKETING CATEGORY – MOVIE POSTERS

Whether you’re talking about the traditionally printed posters that hang on the walls of your local movie theater, larger than life itself, or the digital form of the poster that people often see today on mobile devices when they’re looking for a movie to go see, there’s no denying that movie posters are a powerful force. When we discuss movies on MOMA, we’ll often have the accompanying posters as a visual reference.
