Watching "Molli and Max in the Future" which is a 2023 sci-fi comedy. Very low budget, but is entertaining with a bit of topical political parody.

(It's on #Kanopy)

#MolliandMaxintheFuture

You may have heard the new sci-fi-rom com Molli and Max in the Future, starring Zosia Mamet and Aristotle Athari is basically a Millennial/Gen Z take on When Harry met Sally.

It is! But it's also loaded with hilarious/uncomfortable satire of our current cultural moment.

For instance, the ruler of the galaxy is determined by game show. The candidates are a very normal human lady and a literal demon named Turboschmuck.

Viewer: He doesn't mean those things he says.
Turboschmuck: I want you to know I mean everything I am saying.
viewer: But he's kidding.
Turboschmuck: I am not kidding.
Viewer: I mean, he's not really going to hurt people.
Turboschmuck: I intend to start killing as many people as I can, right away.

There's also a plague and a pending civilization-destroying natural calamity caused by human malfeasance that everyone knows about AND knows how to fix, but nobody really wants to do it.

#MolliAndMaxInTheFuture #film

Recently, I finished some TV series I think are worth checking out, on Netflix: #SchoolSpirits, #TheMagicians, and #LockwoodAndCo.

On Prime, I really enjoyed #MolliAndMaxInTheFuture. Fun stuff. I never saw When Harry Met Sally, but something tells me this is way more my speed. 😉 Very creative.

Currently re-watching: #Veep on Max.
