Super Pumped: Delete Uber (2022)
Season 1, Episode 6
2/10
Koppleman Jumps The Shark
3 April 2022
Quentin Tarantino's over-the-top narration has become tedious.

Brian Koppleman, who has destroyed 'Billions' with his Liberal woke mindset and who lives in that LA-NY Liberal bubble wherein all his friends and associates are woke Liberals and Trump supporters are the stuff you scrape from your shoe, strikes again. He just had to drag Trump into the issue, as well as, portraying Obama's "Wingman" who was found in contempt of Congress and oversaw the US delivering guns to drug cartels, as an unassailable knight in shinning armor. Trump had absolutely nothing to do with Kalanick's calamitous fall. Including him is just a gratuitous, unwelcome, unnecessary Trump dump.

I have consistently rated this series as 8 stars until this episode when the wokester azzzholes threaten to overshadow the story with the incessant insertion of their political ideology, as they do with every series and movie they make. Hollywood is eating itself alive, but they can't see it from inside the bubble. This is the crowd that gave Will Smith a standing O, AFTER the slap.

Otherwise, this episode features the wheels coming off Uber and the shine coming off of Kalanick. Uma Thurman continues her dead-on lampoon of the vacuous Arianna Huffington. They should wrap the series up in next week's season finale and not try and stretch it into a Season 2.
