In this episode, we take a lighthearted stroll through the charming, not-at-all-horrifying political farce that is The Death of Stalin (2017). We explore how the film hilariously—and totally hypothetically—shows the chaos, sycophancy, and moral collapse that can follow when absolute power meets absolute fear. Good thing nothing like that could ever happen in a modern democracy, right? Right.

No parallels to draw here, folks. Just a quaint historical romp through a time when government officials said one thing in public, another in private, and loyalty to the leader trumped reality. That’s definitely not familiar. Nope. Not even a little.
 

So tune in for laughs, gasps, and a subtle but totally unintentional look in the mirror. This is just history. Distant, irrelevant, and absolutely not a warning sign blinking in red neon.
