"I’ll start with Dr. Strangelove. The best satirical movie ever made. Has some amazingly funny performances. When you see Peter Sellers at his best, that’s about as good as you can get, and it’s a brilliantly written, brilliantly directed dissection of the military industrial state."

"Renoir’s satirical masterpiece, controversial upon its release, was his third collaboration with Gabrielle Chanel after La Marseillaise and La Bête humaine. She designed all the female costumes, bringing her signature modernity to the evening gowns, nightwear and hunting outfits of the film’s sophisticated high society milieu."

I really enjoyed this podcast from the Onion. In this, we are listening to "OPR" which styled itself very much like something you would hear on NPR, complete with a fake pledge break about halfway through. I found it by mistake when I looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. I was glad I did. The satirical tones were pretty good, and while I generally believe you can't take satire too far, this did have some gags that were a bit much or seemed to drag on to me. Overall, it was well done and very much worth a listen!

Bale's performance is stand out as the yuppie with psychotic tendencies in this satirical look at 80's excess.
His character is quite absurd and downright crazy, but at times you find yourself laughing at how shallow he is, just make sure your business card is not better than his.
