Death to 2021 and Yearly Departed 2021

We watched these silly sequels to last years editions on New Year's Day. Funny and cringy.

Death to 2021 is 60 minutes long and is on Netflix, mixing archival and scripted chapters. The scripted parts, though satirical, are so horribly close to possibility that we groaned as much as we laughed. With an all-star cast including Stockard Channing, Laurence Fishburne, Hugh Grant, Christin Milioti, and Tracey Ullman.

Yearly Departed is more flat-out funny and I recommend watching it second if you make it a double feature with Death to 2021 as we did. It's 41 minutes on Amazon Prime. hosted by Yvonne Orji with Jane Fonda, Chelsea Peretti, DulcĂ© Sloan, and more––all women.
