We return to Netflix's political miniseries ZERO DAY to find out what happened to Robert De Niro's Biden-ish ex-president... and discover something startlingly close to a liberal QAnon. PLUS: Well it turns out the U.S./Canada trade war is on!

I wonder if that Netflix Tudum article is SEO optimization for the google ai generated questions section

Ricky Gervais was right on XFM when he described that Parker suicide poem as something "like a zany vicar would write from living in Frome"

Wait centrism is the problem and the solution? 🤯

I remember some mainstream critic at the time praising Adrian Brody's "antiwar" Oscars speech as a much better form of protest than Michael Moore's (same year!); as I recall, Brody just rambled about how "confusing" the times were. I thought he was doing his liberal best to sorta do the right thing (without offending anyone who mattered), but in retrospect I guess he was just literally confused because he's dumb lol.

As a hardened "Take Off" stan, I have to say I'm warming to the idea of "Canada In My Pocket" becoming the signifier of Canadian Content. Also, The Storm for Centrist Dads would have made an excellent episode title.

Finished watching Zero Day with the folks, they both loved it. Didn't miss much in the in-between episodes. Other than the Jessi plemons Hunter B surrogate being murdered for standing up to blackmail, and the CIA saving Deniro from Jan 6th

As far as the trade war goes, it seems a combination of Trump's obsession with fentanyl (which I guess lends some populist credence for his concern for part of his base?) and our supply-management in the dairy sector. Perhaps this is all prelude to the renegotiation of NAFTA 2.0/CUSMA.

so, The Left and The Right worked together to manufacture a catastrophe and kill thousands, and the solution is... The Left and The Right working together.

I must be lucky that I've been able to see 'NO OTHER LAND' before both you boys; especially considering, as far as I know, it has no U.S. distribution deal (then again, the same could be true in Canada); a local repertory cinema has been showing it, fortunately. I will say, for a slim 96 minutes, it was the best documentary I'd seen in the last years (though I really don't go out of my way to find them either), with Basel Adra and Yuval Abrahim having great interplay and camaraderie (and some genuinely funny banter, usually involving Yuval and the increasingly suffering residents of Masafer Yatta in the West Bank); it's by no means ultra-radical, but the ~4 years of phone and camcorder footage they have of the Israeli occupation troops (and increasingly, armed Israeli settlers) and the unpredictable outbreaks of violence is probably enough for a hard "NO" from most American distributors (or a ban in Germany, if that happens). Still, it was beautifully poignant at times in its melancholy. Looks like we're going to see another stay on the next phase of the US/Canadian trade war. Part of me still sees basically any such action as the Trump White House's "opening pitch" for more renegotiations about future NAFTA-style arrangements, and possible moving of certain industries back into the US....and if it happens to spin into a disastrous recession or what have you, well, that's a problem for tomorrow or the day after that.

Oddly, it has not been banned in Germany, and has been doing very good business in independent chains in Berlin and Munich. A vaguely encouraging sign. Very unfortunate that it has not seen any US distribution. Glad to see somebody else also observe that for a film about dehumanising local atrocities, it is surprisingly funny in parts.

(this comment was in reference to Zero Day, but I guess it applies just as much to centrist lib ideology IRL)

if ever there was a time for Adrien Brody to bring back Rastaman...

Sam Schick

Oh man, loved the episode. Hit me like a ton of bricks though.

Timothy O'Connor

Made by Robert De Niro, for Robert De Niro and starring Robert De Niro.

Chapo copying M&U! :)

so this show was liberal culture war PNAC

Nick Playfair

Wow Trump is going to crater the economy just to score some petty nationalism points by destroying an already very favourable free trade agreement. I'm glad I live in the UK and we don't have that kind of thing to worry about!

Goji

Haha I watched the whole thing and the whole time I was thinking you guys should watch it (this was before your first ep) My wife and I were in awe of how liberally kitschy it was. It was brutal.
