Death of Stalin
Episode 8
Friday, 4 September, 2026

This week on FridayFlix, we’re heading to the Soviet Union for one of the darkest and funniest political comedies ever made: The Death of Stalin (2017).We discuss what makes The Death of Stalin work as a comedy despite its incredibly dark subject matter, the film’s brilliant ensemble cast, and the performances of Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jason Isaacs. We also talk about the movie’s use of modern accents, its mix of historical events and absurd humor, and whether making these terrifying political figures ridiculous makes the history more—or less—effective.Plus, we dive into the real history behind the movie, the biggest differences between the film and reality, our favorite scenes, and the big question: How do you make a movie about Stalin’s death this funny without making light of the people who suffered under his regime?Email us your thoughts at jkentertainment247@gmail.com.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @fridayflixpodcast.And don’t forget to follow us on Letterboxd at Cinemack89 and KMcanthony.
