Sacha Baron Cohen sequel outtakes, as well as a chance to catch up with Borat’s lockdown buddies and Hillary Clinton, seem completely superfluous in the Biden age

Giving toxic conspiracy theorists the oxygen of publicity is one thing. Giving us the carbon monoxide of their ironic micro-celebrity status is something else. And giving them equal time with
Hillary Clinton on camera – and giving them the last word – is less than reassuring.
This week Sacha Baron Cohen releases on
Amazon a three-part bonus content special, tied to his recent release Borat Subsequent Moviefilm – entitled Borat Supplemental Reportings Retrieved from Floor of Stable Containing Editing Machine. The first is a pretty ropey 24-minute selection of outtakes from the movie, culminating in an admittedly surreal cod-Disney nightmare-porn animation about Melania Trump’s fairytale encounter with her future husband. The second is Borat’s
American Lockdown, a 40-minute special expanding the scene in which Borat lives with two creepy conspiracy theorists called Jim and Jerry, who believe that Hillary Clinton drinks the blood of children.
