The lads talk about the 2017 black comedy, The Death of Stalin, directed by Armando Iannucci. Moscow, 1953. After being in power for nearly 30 years, Soviet dictator Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin fell ill and quickly died. Now the members of the Council of Ministers scramble for power. With arguably a perfect cast and a comical look at the turnaround of the Soviet leadership after Stalin's death. The Death of Stalin embodies the ridiculous and obscene; while also being one of the best comedies on this side of the decade.
