"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Maybe the fact that this sequel to the 1984 comedy spends an enormous chunk of its hour-and-24-minute runtime on cameos by Paul McCartney and Elton John is in itself a meta-commentary on the inherent narcissism of self-produced documentary portraits of musicians? Or is this merely a delusion created to stomach the fact that a film concocted by a returning Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer who together essentially birthed the mockumentary genre could be so startlingly unfunny?"
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while investigating finances such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that profile American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, sending reporters to both sides, and remaining accessible without paywalls by relying on donations. The review questions the effectiveness of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, noting lengthy celebrity cameos and suggesting those choices may reflect meandering self-indulgence or attempted meta-commentary. The sequel is contrasted with the original film's sharp industry insight and satire.
