Maria Bakalova will go down in history as the only actor to receive an Oscar nomination for playing a feral, monkey-eating Kazakh who discovers feminism via a rendezvous with Rudy Giuliani.

Kirtzman’s phrase knowingly anticipates…

The name of the film — being billed as part documentary and part musical — is actually Rudy! A Documusical, appropriately enough, according to Associated Press. The…
