The 2010s (2023)

A one sided retelling of history
25 March 2024
When I first started watching this series, I was hoping to get a more accurate and unbiased summarization of years past. This was not in the cards in the slightest. CNN claims they are not biased. They go so far as to say they are not even left leaning. They say they cover the news accurately, and only speak the truth. This documentary could not even begin to describe how blatantly obvious that claim is untrue. Every chance to make republicans and conservatives the villains is taken without hesitation. I do not watch documentaries to hear political buzzwords or to watch attacks on a single party. This is the problem we see in political landscapes. For the next decade CNN produces, perhaps they should try only covering the relevant facts, and stop inviting left wing political pundits to explain how things "went down". I've watched about 5 episodes so far. Every episode so far has been nothing but liberal rhetoric. Do not go into watching this with hopes of accuracy or unbiased views. You will be disappointed.

A cult within a cult
21 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly, I really wonder how people can see that they're in a cult, but cannot as easily realize that they're simultaneously in a second cult.

This documentary wraps up with half of the members identifying as trans. They withdraw from a cult that exploits their lack of sense of reality. It promises them that if they just keep doing all the things they're told to do, they can somehow reach their true status and be happy. They're not being authentic enough, or they're not believing hard enough, to truly be happy.

Well, that's exactly what transitioning promises. But it, too, does not deliver on its promises. Both of these ideologies claim to bring ultimate happiness by truth bending, or just blatantly lying. They also both profit incredibly by raking in astronomical fees that seem to never end.

I give this 2 stars because it's somewhat interesting (at least in the beginning) but it ultimately fell flat because it became nothing more than trans advocacy gospel. Trading one delusion for another is not progress.

Don't Look Up (2021)

I wanted this to be funny...

It's supposed to be a comedy, but falls incredibly short. The satire is dry, and the acting is terrible. This is more or less a platform for Leo to scream about climate change once again.
