You may have suspected that this MAGA-tinged hagiography would be absolute trash, but it turns out you didn’t think low enough.

    They should do an anti documentary. Show Reagan as the blood hungry man that actively sought to gut government spending for mental health institutions, show him in backrooms smoking cigars to cut taxes, and talk to the CIA director to funnel crack in neighborhood.

    Bonus points for downplaying aids specifically to target the gay community.

      So… an actual documentary with facts instead of a conservative puff piece?

      And the war on drugs stuff, and the Iran-Contra stuff, the DoH grant rigging, Ill Wind, loans crisis, Wedtech scandal and so many more classics!

      After all, he’s number one in the hall of fame for convictions/indictions of Administration officials. A whooping 138 record, making him the Babe Ruth of corrupt US government leaders.

        Don’t forget the press secretary literally laughing as gay people die, until Reagan’s friend Rock Hudson got HIV.

        Yes, just like Trump and COVID, Reagan’s some policy on HIV was “do nothing and hope people don’t care”.

        the Iran-Contra stuff

        and throwing one of his underlings under the bus for it. He was a role model for Trump.

        Most Will Ferrell movies would have been much better without Will Ferrell.

      If you put it like that I would prefer production, casting and direction like Narcos (Mexico / Griselda etc). Sublime in picturing another era and pure nitty gritty of real life back then. Without fake glorification.

        I miss Terry Sweeny’s hilarious impression of Nancy Regan.
