Borat - Giuliani Fell Right Into That Trap!
from Remakes Reboots & Revivals · host Rolando Nieves & Nicole Pometti
2006. A simpler time when men everywhere did their version of a Borat impression. Do we thank Sacha Baron Cohen or curse his name? This week, Rolando and Nicole discuss "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." What made this film so funny to Americans in 2006? And what was the film trying to say? Is anti-Semitism funny if the creator of the content is Jewish? And then Nicole and Rolando critique "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" and it's heavier, political slant. Does content lose its edge when it takes a stance on an issue? How should we feel about a British person calling out Americans? And does this movie hit different after the 2020 election? And if you love the second-hand embarrassment of Borat's comedy, you'll love Rolando's Borat impression. Listen now.
