Writer-director Tim Robbins goes all out to recreate a politically potent chapter of Broadway legend, the true story of the rebel Wpa production The Cradle Will Rock — with a dynamic sidebar about Diego Rivera’s provocative mural for the Rockefeller Center. An enormous cast works up the excitement of Depression-era revolutionary theater.

A rising stand-up comic is at his microphone, making repeated references to old American sitcoms. While the audience laughs, a lone spectator rises to bellow a sarcastic cackle, a melee in his one-man war against pop culture. The man is Simon Geist in writer-director Dan Zukovic’s 1996 film “The Last Big Thing,” a sardonic portrayal of the independent art scene and modern pop culture in the mid-1990s that has yet to lose its relevance.
Zukovic stars as Simon, a self-proclaimed counter-cultural guru out to expose the superficiality of mainstream entertainment and the hypocrisy of up-and-coming stars. Simon creates a fake magazine, “The Next Big Thing,” as an excuse to confront young artists and criticize their talent and delusions of fame.
