If you’re a comedy geek: A Futile and Stupid Gesture
Trailer Link:

Cult comedy director David Wain restages the 1970s heyday of cult comedy magazine National Lampoon, which became the springboard for Animal House, Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, and pretty much every major comedy property of the next three decades. As you might expect, there was a lot of cocaine, casual misogyny, and Will Forte. Wait, no: Will Forte is only here to play Doug Kenney, the magazine’s first editor-in-chief, while Joel McHale appears as Chevy Chase and a lot of today’s other big-name comics portray big-name comics from the ’70s. Basically, if you don’t watch this movie, they’ll shoot the dog. Available January 26.

For an eye-opening look at the police: The Force

A searing account of the Oakland Police Department in 2014, just as Black Lives Matter was making headlines and the names of black victims of police violence were overflowing from news chyrons, Peter Nicks’s documentary catches its subjects at a moment of supreme reflection. Can they reform their department enough to earn back the trust of their deeply dissatisfied community? Is reform on such a grand scale even possible? The Force offers an invaluable perspective on the changing nature of law enforcement in America. Available January 29.
