They should do an anti documentary. Show Reagan as the blood hungry man that actively sought to gut government spending for mental health institutions, show him in backrooms smoking cigars to cut taxes, and talk to the CIA director to funnel crack in neighborhood.
Bonus points for downplaying aids specifically to target the gay community.
And the war on drugs stuff, and the Iran-Contra stuff, the DoH grant rigging, Ill Wind, loans crisis, Wedtech scandal and so many more classics!
After all, he’s number one in the hall of fame for convictions/indictions of Administration officials. A whooping 138 record, making him the Babe Ruth of corrupt US government leaders.
Adam McKay was in the early steps of doing a Will Farrell comedy about Reagan’s time with Alzheimer’s dementia, the concept being he was too far gone so his advisers told him he was playing the President as a role… the outrage machine got summoned and it got binned, but CANCEL CULTURE only applies to other things I guess.

Most Will Ferrell movies would have been much better without Will Ferrell.
One of histories greatest monsters. He ratted out fellow actors during the red scare. Real POS.
This is comically hyperbolic. Ronald Reagan isn’t even the greatest monster in the history of US presidents. Frankly I’m not even sure he was the greatest monster to serve as president in the second half of the twentieth century.
Jeez, have you never been on internet forums where people say things they don’t mean in the most literal sense possible?
Cow pies. There was nothing in your original comment indicating you are being facetious or intentionally hyperbolic.
fawning celebration of its subject
That’s all I needed to hear to know that it’s bad.
That’s saying something since Borderlands was also dropped this year.
Apparently,The Crow has stolen Bordelands’ crown as biggest flop. That’s impressive.
In my opinion they made a huge mistake in trying to refresh The Crow with a modern Gen Z lens. I think a lot of modern retakes have been done well, but this character is so deeply rooted in that 90s grungy alt rock metal culture that trying to remove him from it just makes him a really bland emo antihero. I personally think they should have leaned hard into the nostalgia factor and cranked the crunchy guitar up to 11 with just a bit of modern freshness. I don’t know what musicians would have been appropriate to tackle that in the 2020s.
At least borderlands isn’t about a person who’s helped lead the world to ruin
I haven’t seen the movie or read anything about it.
But the writer also wrote a sequel to God’s Not Dead, if that gives any indication of where this sits on the reality/lunatic spectrum of right wing shithousery.
