Shot remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, this film consists of five monologues delivered by the cast into a camera. Playing characters ranging from a billionaireās daughter to a nurse treating patients suffering from the virus to an archetypal New Yorker, the actors make the words come alive. Each monologue (benefitting from Paul Rudnickās extensive theater background) is a humorous, bitter rebuttal to everything that Donald Trump stands for, even if there are no deeper insights here. Best part: Dan Levy as an actor pondering how and when to use his āgaynessā.
