Variety review

It is a Romanian production from the 80s. It is a propaganda tool but well done. The opening line states, “you don’t become a good communist by going to meetings or reading a manifesto, you do it on the streets with your fists.” Dubbed in English it makes for some hilariously awkward dialogue.

I have to concur. I died when they were figuring out Monopoly. All the anti-american stereotypes are hilarious.

I really liked it as well. I'm glad they didn't use actual propaganda and instead just shot their own show. I have to imagine the jokes would've worn thin eventually.

I loved season 1. They did a great job recreating what I think an 80's communist TV show would be like. They did a great job with it...

Citizen X

Entire movie is available on Youtube - link.

HBO Film of Andrea Chikatilo, the Rostov Ripper.
Claimed over 50 victims, mostly under the age of 17. In what was then a Communist state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and those in power.

I just started watching last week and I'm hooked will finish by the weekend.

When Channing Tatum starts calling Joseph Gordon Levitt's character a goatfricker I lost it.
