Martin Scorsese's new Netflix documentary PRETEND IT'S A CITY (2021) is nothing more or less than a series of jokes and riffs by former writer and current professional curmudgeon Fran Lebowitz. We take a dive into this New York institution and discover what happens when a legendary wit is sorely lacking a worldview. PLUS: new lockdown restrictions, what happens to politics and the media post-Trump, and Marvel vs. 1950s America."Pretend It's an Insight" by Will Sloan: https://willsloanesq.wordpress.com/2021/01/10/pretend-its-an-insight/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
