Weve all been the most unpopular guy in the room.
Weve all been the person at the wedding that nobody wants to talk to…
This is a show for nerds, anddocumentary nerdsat that.
PennebakersThe War Roomfrom 1993, set around the Clinton presidential campaign.
Theytrulydont get enough credit for the chameleon job that theyre doing in every single entry.
This is the crux of this documentary.
Hes responsible for penning The Bunker along with some of the best scripts of the season.
Redbones and Panagoulious are indeed the focus of the documentary and both Hader and Armisen deliver grand performances.
Every line he says is a delight to hear.
Armisen on the other hand plays a squirmier, optimistic egoist as his foil.
Haders performance at the end of this one is particularly worth singling out.
Its just incredible acting all around and a reminder of how good these guys can be.
If you didnt know the constructs of this series, youd swear Haders tears were real.
It practically shrugs away this shooting like Redbones or Panagoulious were returning an undercooked meal at a bistro.
Then its back to non-business as usual for the doc.
and I can understand the temptation of doing an election episode this year.
Its good to have these real faux weirdoes back.
