Ivory Tower (2014)
Was expecting more
I know a lot about this subject because I've written a few papers on the issue of student loan debt... this movie taught me absolutely nothing I didn't already know, and like others have stated, offers no solutions for solving this problem (which are pretty clear-cut, by the way). This documentary had very little direction, wasn't particularly engaging, and didn't really serve much of a purpose. And it also made no mention of the model other countries use to fund higher education, which was pretty surprising. My advice: skip the documentary and do your own research. You'll learn a lot more that way, and probably in less than 90 minutes.
China, IL (2008)
I love this show!!!
If you like dark and witty humor that's littered with sexual innuendos, this show is a great pick! There are tons of recurring jokes and themes in each episode (I've watched them all several times and I always pick up on another joke or reference that I missed before) and the writing is great! I love the way the show pokes fun at the bureaucratic structure of academic institutions and the narcissistic nature of people in general (like when everyone started having sex with the robot clones of themselves). China, IL can be a bit violent and grotesque at times, but it sort of just adds to the uniqueness of the show. Steve is definitely my favorite character -- he has all the best lines!
