Best known for creating The Thick of It and Veep, Iannucci fashions a semi-spin-off of the former in the Academy Award®-nominated In the Loop. A scathing satire of contemporary politics, and a perfect acting showcase for Capaldi—reviving his role as the brilliantly belligerent Malcolm Tucker.

Approaching Irish history through the lens of overblown tabloid fodder, Saipan dissects one of world football’s most infamous punch-ups. Comedy legend Steve Coogan deploys his prodigious powers of mimicry with droll aplomb, punctuating this farcical media satire with deft moments of pathos.
