It's the final episode of our series The Reds, White, and Blue, looking at films about the red scare and a fear of a communist menace. This time, Hal & Craig watched Armando Iannucci's (Veep, In the Loop) satire "The Death of Stalin". We discuss Stalinism, how it diverges from Leninism, and whether or not the film is an effective satire. Discussions also include:
- Some new movies we've been watching: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, The Last Stop in Yuma County, Monkey Man, and Unfrosted;
- The recent tornados that swept through the American southeast;
- A look at last year's anti-union legislation passed in Florida; and
- What makes effective satire?
