Succession: Season 3 (2021) ***

Michael Che: Shame The Devil (2021) ***

Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material (2021) ***

This Netflix stand-up comedy show by Jimmy Carr includes probably the most infamous joke of all times. Carr himself has referred to this joke as a "career-ender" and it has been cited by the British government as an example of speech that should be forbidden by law. But while this joke might seem racist and insensitive at a first glance, what it really does is to condemn the hypocrisy and the double standards of people who denounce some genocides but deny others.

Dickinson: Season 2 (2021) ***


The Beatles: Get Back (2021) ****

Reeducated: Inside Xinjiang's Secret Detention Camps (2021) ***

The film is available here.

Heaven's Gate (2021) *****

Arguably, the greatest VR film of all times, directed by Marco Brambilla ("Demolition Man").

Mistress Maitland 2 (2021) ***


Marco Polo Go Round (2021) ***

Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021) ***

Less funny than Chapelle's previous stand-up comedy shows, but a watershed moment in culture wars and an intersectional dumpster fire.
