Ep. 117 - Could These Get Made Today? (Citizen Ruth / Tropic Thunder)

For Part 2 of our 3-part series, our producer Tony picks two movies that have us wondering: could these get made today? First we shine the harsh light of 2026 on Alexander Payne's 1996 satire CITIZEN RUTH, a comedy that dares to make a farce out of both sides of the abortion debate. Then it's on to the enlightened era of 2008, where Ben Stiller's TROPIC THUNDER earned an Oscar nomination for a performance in black face—does it still get away with it, and is that even the most offensive part?
