The way Sasha uses Borat to show racism. (0 more)
Some jokes feel a but cheap. (0 more)
Pretty funny and disturbing
Sasha is amazingly talented and able to use Borats character first to make you laugh then feel a bit horrified as you are often laughing at racism that shouldn't even exist in 2020 nevermind in a free country. It is funny just a bit obvious in places but I'm willing to forgive it due to what is an important social commentary.

Absolutely incredible!
This sequel is highly underrated. If you loved Ender's Game then you'll love the next installment. Card wanted Speaker for the Dead to be his life's work and wrote Ender's Game almost as an after thought. There is so much character development and the social commentary is fascinating.

There are so many new characters to fall in love with and the same old genius Ender. The air of mystery is thrilling and makes this book nearly impossible to put down!

Great UK conscious artist
Akala is an incredible person. Writer, activist, genius and damn good rap artist. The Thieves Banquet continues Akala's vehicle of using the music to spread his valuable and important messages but only works if it sounds good and it does. It's not Akala's best work but it's still better than most of the other dirge out there. I'm reviewing this in 2019 and right now we need a new album to give the social commentary for today

Fantastic adaptation of a great book (2 more)
Increasing parallels to current socio-political powers in the western world
Doesn't lose itself or its quality in the adaptation
Buckle up
One of the most intense and emotional TV shows I have watched, we managed to split it across two days just to get to the end but I reccommend pacing yourself as the content can be very confronting(as it intends to be). Fantastic social commentary once again by Margaret Atwood- a literary legend across genres and entertainment mediums.

I’m chilled by the sensational dystopian sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer (2013), now streaming (finally) on Netflix UK
While it works well as a dystopian action thriller, it’s a much more complex and layered film than it may appear at first glance. There are moments of comedy (both light and pitch black), subversion, searing social commentary and shocking violence and although the film isn’t afraid to wear its bleak, nihilistic heart on its sleeve, it does so without alienating or disengaging the viewer....

"I have to say one of my good friends Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth. I think it’s an incredible movie. One of the things I love about Pan’s Labyrinth is that the film could never have been developed within the studio system. It’s one of the purest expressions of a very specific and unique vision. It’s a horror film, it’s a social commentary film, it’s a dark fairy tale, and when you know Guillermo, it’s a film that could only have spawned from his imagination."
