Just watched a 2018 movie called Hot Air, starring Steve Coogan, Taylor Russell, Skylar Astin, Neve Campbell, and Judith Light, among others. Coogan is a right-wing radio talk show host feuding with his ex-partner, when his 16-year old niece comes to town to stay with him.
At times utterly predictable, at times not, and with a corny ending, but Coogan gives a rant that doesn't hit the same level as Jeff Daniels on the Newsroom but is still fun to watch.
Apparently down-rated by many right-wingers as they feel it is an attack on them, but I quite liked it, not least of which was some very good performances by Coogan and Russell. And the biggest idiot in the was the left-wing senator, who seemed an analogy for AOC anyway.
