A mockumentary that chronicles the prevalence of doping in the world of professional cycling.
This "movie" (only like 39 minutes long) is notable for three things:
1. Wonderful casting, especially the "then and now" casting for the characters, and some nice cameos
2. Period-appropriate cinematography, to get that 1982 feel
3. DICKS DICKS DI-well, only just the two, I guess

I had extremely low expectations for this (even though I like most of the people in it) but it actually made me laugh a lot so I'm grateful for that.

John Cena is a treasure.

I thought the payoff line for the "trifecta" thing itself was only sort-of funny, but Goldblum's reading of it made me laugh out loud.
Freddie Highmore aging into Julia Ormond is spot-on casting.

I really wanted to like this more, so yeah. Maybe I'll laugh a few days after the fact?

This just came on hbo and I didn't notice the part with the Finnish commercial for the concept of a credit card but wow.. points were made. A credit card: you have to go out and buy more but now you get punished for it. Everyone talking about how weird and bizarre it is are so missing the point. Another very good thing is Will Forte's perfect French. The performances in this are way better than they need to be. It reminds me of a Mel Brooks movie.
