The Apprentice
As the world looks on in disbelief at a system that has seemingly shifted towards the far right and the election of a convicted felon, we thought it was about time to have a look at what may be a really interesting and intelligent movie about a really awful person. Or two, in fact: Donald Trump as played by Sebastian Stan and Roy Cohn as portrayed by Jeremy Strong. The title The Apprentice is interesting as it encompasses a reference to Trump’s later TV show, but also his role in learning at the foot of Roy Cohn, as an apprentice to his particular brand of deal making. Or as others have called it; Vileness.
The whole crew is in for this one though many of us wish we weren’t.
The second half of the show we cover topics like:
Look Back (anime):
Godzilla’s 70th birthday:
Queen of Tears
Lin Manuel Miranda’s new concept album of “The Warriors”
Please note this episode was recorded before the election and as such still features elements of hope and humour
