The short film "Modern Living and You!" satirizes "Red Scare" era instructional shorts, while the time period itself is up in the air and left ambiguous.

"River ice sets the scene for Judy Garland's international cri de coeur. It's hard to understate the amount of anxiety created by a Vice President who usurped authority for eight years to start wars and wreck the economy and then sidled off to Wyoming to be a retired 'hero of the right.'

Two political speech-writers struggle to spin the antics of an unlikely leader.
The FDP is gone - the financial crisis is still here. Fortress Europe is being built and the AFD would like to be in charge. The funded pension scheme is becoming a poverty trap for the average earner, so the only thing that helps is new enemy stereotypes to keep the democratically fooled at the bar where they are allowed to dance.

You look in vain for respect in Pispers' programs. Blunt, crass and direct, he oscillates between bitterly angry and charmingly witty when he thinks the absurdities of the world through to the end.
