General General Discussion

not sure who has seen this

not a pay to watch
OK if its free to watch

kinda funny in a slapstick way of something that you have to wonder what it was really like to be there that night and has some truth to the satire movie
for sure would have been one of those watch this for film study films so might not be for everyone

Have it in the queue. Curious to see how Steve Buscemi does in this one. We just wrapped up Boardwalk Empire, a fantastic series. IMHO the best of any by far.

I imagine it won’t be coming to leftist Netflix.

Why wouldn’t it

Will definitely check this out.

Kind of a little drift, but does feature Stalin - for a good read about how Hitler escaped the bunker and was pursued by Stalin’s minions try The Berkut by Joseph Heywood.

Pffft. Everyone knows Hitler died in 1938.

Read the book years ago. Adolf got what was coming to him. In spades.

Yep. Heywood is one of my favorite fiction writers. I read Berkut recently, only because I had completed his Wood Cop series. Glad I did.

watched it on a plane. Was confused most of the time, serious or not? But got some laughs and felt I learned a bit of jaded history.

was intersting.
