| Topic | Just watched Late Night, a movie with Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson |
| Noumas 12/07/22 11:52:06 PM #1: | Its pretty funny sometimes, movie is about a late night talk show struggling with the ratings, with an old female host and a room of all male white writers. Mindy comes in and shakes things up with a fresh perspective and some comedic wit that helps with the ratings slowly but surely. Mindy is pretty funny in it, she's great. Jon Lithgow is in it and he's a gem. I dont know if it's making fun of the "awoke pc" people crowd or playing it straight. The end of the movie has the show being successful and when you cut to the writer's room its like a united colors of benetton ad with people of all shapes and colors, as if indicating that the show's success is due to diversity. And the old female icy host who didn't even know her writers' names has now warmed to them and is all friendly. It definitely makes fun of the "old rich out of touch white people" trope as well as douchey fratbros which is always good for a laugh ... Copied to Clipboard! |
