The Rudy Giuliani scene in the Borat sequel almost didn’t happen because Giuliani didn’t want to take a rapid coronavirus test before sitting down in a small, enclosed setting with Maria Bakalova and the film's crew

blerrrghghhbcgghhh Photo: Amazon Studios There are two centerpieces to Sacha Baron Cohen’s very timely 2020 satirical sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. There is the emotional centerpiece in Maria Bakalova’s performance as Borat’s daughter, Tutar, and there’s the high dramatic set piece of her perilous interview with Trump lackey Rudy Giuliani.

We can’t say that we’re surprised that Giuliani did a Giuliani, nor can we say that we’re surprised by the rest of Baron Cohen’s interview. Baron Cohen says that he was driven to make Borat Subsequent Moviefilm despite the challenges of filming during coronavirus because he “felt democracy was in peril,” and he aimed to release it when he did because “I don’t want to egotistically imply that people would watch ‘Borat’ and not vote for Trump, but that was the aim.” Sir.
