We did see what could have been. We got the Obama presidency, and it was lame & fixed practically nothing.

Idk you could do a leftist reading of Parks & Rec even if that wasn't their intention. The whole show is set in a suburban nightmare where substantial politics are all dominated by a greedy candy company, and the best the liberal bureaucracy can do is beautify some public spaces without actually improving the lives of its isolated, borderline schizophrenic residents.

Mayor Dave posted:the first 3 seasons had the white house gang reacting to actual clinton scandals in the way that aaron sorkin thought they should have been addressed, like bartlet was literally given the line "the era of big government is over" for his state of the union and the episode is sorkin smugly dunking on the dingus who put that line into clinton's speech Pretty savage own against Clinton.

A baby ate my dingo posted:The best part about re-watching The West Wing is how there's episode plots involving universal healthcare, minimum wage, college fees and various other things that are still problems nearly 20 years later. 20 years later the Democrats are going to argue that all of those things are never ever gonna happen, and that's why we have to nominate Hillary Clinton.

Helsing posted:Veep is a great sitcom but you can tell that Iannucci keeps developing more and more outlandish political situations to try and contort the Presidency / Vice Presidency into resembling the British system. The plot arc of season 5 in particular would make perfect sense in a parliamentary system but is completely implausible as a plot line for the American executive branch. The first thing he said after Trump was elected is that he has to go back to writing, so the new season will be a Trump's America zone.

Helsing posted:Apparently his next project is going to be a comedy film about the death of Stalin, which sounds C-SPAM as gently caress. Stalin trained his guards not to enter his apartment even if they thought something was wrong, and he would troll them to figure out which ones would defy the order. So when he had a stroke nobody went in and he died, so that's pretty goddamn funny off the bat.

Right now the highest profile black filmmakers (in the US) are Key & Peele. And to get there they had to be stand-ups, work on MadTV in the early 2000s, do some more standup, showrun one of the most popular sketch comedy shows on Comedy Central, and then they got to do big budget Hollywood movies. Meanwhile Max Landis gets to write several major motion pictures because he's John Landis's son.
