A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote 2020
Very nice and very sweet. Although once again they completely ignore that the Hartfield’s Landing episode makes no sense canonically.
Ah well. I love this show and these people. And I believe that we will win.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan 2006
This film says a lot about our society.
SBC doesn’t get enough credit as an artist. This is just so funny and revealing of the cultural rot we have to deal with.

Superman: Red Son 2020
Lmaooooo. Comrade. Failures of capitalism. Stalin getting laser-eyed to death. “America First!” This was ridiculous.

I really really really need a similar documentary about the making of Songs of Innocence.

An infuriating, calculated and all too real look at what power can buy you
in this country.On the eve of the possible imprisonment of it’s kinda-sorta subject, The Assistant gives us an up-close look at how a predator operates and the fear he uses to keep others in line.
Kitty Green is great. Julia Garner is great. This movie is just really great.
