Opening Friday, July 28: An
Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to
Power is, of course, the sequel to
An Inconvenient Truth, the 2006
documentary directed by Davis
Guggenheim (He Named Me Malala)
that won the Oscar for best docu-
mentary. The sequel follows former
Vice President Al Gore (the “star” of
the original) as he continues his fight
to rouse the world to take action on
climate change. There are a lot of
behind-the-scenes moments, some
funny and others poignant. The film
follows Gore as he reaches the apex,
to date, of his efforts: the signing of
the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016.
The film was re-edited just before
release to address President Trump’s
recent decision to take America out of
the Paris Agreement.
The co-directors are Bonni Cohen,
52, and Jon Shenk, 48. Cohen’s other
credits include producing The Rape of
Europa, a 2006 documentary about the
Nazi looting of European art treasures,
including those owned by Jews. Shenk
was the cinematographer on a PBS
film that Cohen produced: American
Jerusalem: Jews and the Making of
San Francisco (2014).

On Tuesday, July 25, Netflix began
streaming Joe Mande’s Award-Winning
Comedy Special. It stars, naturally,
comedian Joe Mande, 34. You might
not have heard of him, but many have
— his Twitter account has a million
followers, whom he keeps entertained
with an endless stream of jokes. The
special begins cheeky, with a (joke)
credit that says it was “directed by
Roman Polanski.” It mostly consists
of Mande delivering political and pop-
culture observations that tend to be
oriented toward people his age, or a
bit younger (like the shows on MTV)
— he has an engaging hipster quality.
You may remember him from playing
Morris Lerpiss in seven episodes of
Parks and Recreation.

WALK ON THE
WEIRD(LY FUNNY) SIDE

For every quality TV show today, there
are at least 10 bad shows on cable
stations. The really bad ones I think
of as “bottom feeders.” E! TV has a
weird show called Botched. It fol-
lows Hollywood plastic surgeon Terry
Dubrow, 58, as he repairs patients’
bad prior plastic surgery. In a recent
episode, Dubrow really was bottom

Dubrow

feeding as he removed bad buttock
implants from a pro domininatrix’s
tush. He then sculpted a new, nice
backside.
I recently caught up, via YouTube,
with an appearance of Jay Leno on
The Tonight Show on April 7. It was
just after Don Rickles died. Leno
noted that so many greats of Rickles’
generation had already passed away,
including Rodney Dangerfield. Leno
added that he was close to Rodney
and wanted to share a great story. Jay
said when Rodney was dying in 2004
he visited him in the hospital. Rodney
was semi-conscious. Rodney’s wife
told Jay to put his finger in Rodney’s
hand and told Rodney that if he had
heard what she had said, he should
squeeze Jay’s finger. Rodney squeezed
the finger. Jay said, “Rodney that’s
not my finger.” Rodney let out a small
chuckle and Jay said how happy it
made him to make the comedian
laugh on his deathbed. •
