A little reminder of LCA, a really great climate / film discussion pod - the only reason I struggle to keep up is bc I can't find time to watch the actual films before listening lol

Great stuff
A new film ft. Daisy Ridley dropped last week, combining the action-packed adventure of Die Hard with a climate activist plot to reveal the oil industry’s secrets with a window cleaner ready to save the day 🛢️🎬

ICYMI: Our latest episode is about Flow - an animation following the story of an adorable black cat 🐈‍⬛ surviving a devastating flood. 🏆 It's an Oscar winner for a reason, but is it really a climate film? 🎧: shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

Here are some of our fave @letterboxd.social reviews ⭐️

🙅‍♀️ We’re never watching this film again, and you’re going to have to listen to Episode 9 of Lights, Climate, Action to find out why! In this week's episode, we’re watching The End We Start From - a disaster survival story set in the UK, directed by Mahalia Belo 🌊 shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

⏮️ It’s Soylent Green day! In our new episode, we’re looking at the 1973 police detective film, Soylent Green, which depicts an overpopulated, heavily polluted vision of 2022. We hope you enjoy learning more about this film as much as we enjoyed watching it: shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

🌪️ Would you want to watch a climate disaster unfold in 4DX? That’s a question we asked in our latest episode of Lights, Climate, Action. In our episode all about Twisters, we discuss what it means for a modern-day disaster movie to *not* mention climate change.

This might be our most controversial episode yet. Our NEW episode is all about The Wild Robot, which seems to have built quite the reputation for its climate messaging, but does it really live up to the hype? Available now: shows.acast.com/lights-clima... 🫣🤖

After watching The End and the portrayal of a former oil exec living in an apocalypse bunker, we thought we'd have a go at packing the bags of current fossil fuel CEOs 🫠 Want to know what we're talking about? 🎧 Listen to our podcast all about it: shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

NEW EPISODE! The title of this movie might raise some suspicions when you enter it into Google but could it be worth it? 👀 We're taking a look at How to Blow Up A Pipeline, adapted from Andreas Malm’s @versobooks.bsky.social book. 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: shows.acast.com/lights-clima...

💰 A surprising discovery in our latest episode - the oil industry really didn’t like its portrayal in Landman. So much so that the API spent 7 figures on an ad campaign to run alongside it 👇

🚨📺 NEW EPISODE just dropped! We’re heading to Texas with Taylor Sheridan’s Landman to see whether we can still enjoy a show about oil despite its anti-renewable propaganda and bizarre storylines. 👀 This is a wild one.

🤔 Why are we starting a podcast about films and climate change? Well, we think now more than ever, we need the media we consume to show us the way - whether that’s helping us to imagine a better future or helping us to wake up and take action. 🧵
