The Death of Stalin (#16)

Mark and Cory talk about Armando Iannucci's 2017 black comedy The Death of Stalin. You can watch the film for its exploration of the nature of evil, think about whether the license that is taken with the truth is completely appropriate, or just wait for the amazing memes to appear on screen. 

The Guardian article on the film's accuracy which Cory mentions can be found here, whilst the academic critique that Mark was looking forward to reading so he could disagree with it can be found here.

After last week's emergency episode on The Absence of War, we're returning to fortnightly episodes. In two weeks' time we are talking about The West Wing episode "Let Bartlet Be Bartlet", which is the 19th episode of series one.

Cory’s email newsletter is Paperback Rioter and Mark has a family of email newsletters.
