I couldn’t get my beloved liberals to watch those DPRK films we posted about last week, but I’ll try with these.
On the subject, there was another movie about the case against roundup that came out recently. It’s a dramatic recreation, but well done IMO. If you’re interested i can look up the name.
I found it pretty hilarious the one about syrup. The fact that someone got their hands on $20,000,000 from stealing the stuff I put on my pancakes from a monopolistic corporation is weirdly funny.
I still have to watch this yet. I heard it was pretty good.
