The ReidOut (2020)
Fantastic show!
I always looked forward eagerly to AMJoy on Saturday/Sunday mornings. Now I get to watch Joy Ann Reid every night. Yes, she is a progressive voice (she is on MSNBC, after all) but appreciates nuanced views, and engages in open debate with those who can discuss topics in good faith. She doesn't suffer fools lightly, though.
Downsizing (2017)
Charming and thoughtful
Typical of Alexander Payne movies (Election, Sideways), there is always an underchieving male who only wants to help. Like Matthew Broderick leading tourists around the Natural History Museum, Matt Damon ends up house cleaning for the rich Euro-hipster living upstairs. Like Election, the subplots involve social commentary (climate change, the haves and the have nots, unrelenting pressure to have bigger and better homes, lives).
The multi-cultural twists, especially with Tran, the Vietnamese activist. The only cliche (although understandable) is the fact that mostly white, Norwegians will be saved by hiding in their vault for 8000 years. Hm....
