THE DEATH OF STALIN (2017) (Steve Buscemi / Jeffrey Tambor - Dir Armando Iannucci)

This week we discuss the hilarious historical black comedy The Death Of Stalin (2017) from writer director Armando Iannucci and starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Paul Whitehouse, Jason Isaacs, Jeffrey Tambor and Simon Russell Beale (among others). After evil dictator Joseph Stalin  (Adrain McLoughlin) dies, he leaves behind a power vacuum  that his closest allies are quick to fill. This absolute comedy gem highlights the race to the top between the vile sadist Beriya (Beale) and the seemingly hapless Khrushchev (Buscemi) with the skulduggery and backstabbing that only the creator of the Thick of It can do justice!
