This Quietly Ruthless 4-Part Sitcom Left Every Other Political Satire in the Dust Armando Iannucci goes behind the scenes of Westminster in The Thick of It, the brutal satire with Peter Capaldi that influenced real British politics.

Movie TV Tech Geeks #TVFeatures #TheThickOfIt #Veep #ArmandoIannucci This Quietly Ruthless 4-Part Sitcom Left Every Other Political Satire in the Dust

Googled #ArmandoIannucci to find his #racist blackface attack on Chris Morris but it says no results. Mmmm. Couldn't possibly be a product of Zionist censorship, could it? Who owns google? And how come he still has a broadcasting career after that? Must be antisemitism! @aiannucci.bsky.social

🎬 Film Fridays!

My recommendation for this Friday is The Death of Stalin (2017).

Brutally funny and razor-sharp, The Death of Stalin turns political terror into biting satire with fearless performances and wicked timing.
