If Margaret and David wrote their own script, they are excellent comedy writers. OTOH, if someone else wrote it, Margaret and David are excellent actors, and the writers captured their styles perfectly.
Aw man, I don't think there's been an instance of one of them giving 5 stars and the other 0 since Dancer in the Dark. Which I actually thought was an amazing, great film, as well as being the bleakest, most depressing thing I'd ever seen... until 2020.
I've missed these two! I often found them pompous, elitist, snobby... but also capable of great surprise, insight, honesty, emotional vulnerability and even conflict! They are great reviewers and I'm stoked they had the self-awareness and willingness to indulge in some satire - satire is one of the finest forms of artistic expression a human can engage in, in my opinion and especially so when speaking directly to power seems futile.
What I miss is all the smaller films they reviewed - indies, local films, and all those foreign ones, not just the Hollywood blockbusters. There's so many fewer films whose existence I become aware of these syas, and it's mostly because Margaret and David aren't on the TV.
Only one off note. Cardinal Pell. As an athiest i have no skin in the game but his treatment by the Vixtorian government, police and judicial system had me roaring with laughter.
It is wrong and defamatory to refer to him obliquely as a criminal when he has been acquitted unanimously by the full bench of the High Court of Australia.

I could watch these two forever. Miss them.
Miss these guys dearly. A different era and one that lives in my heart.

It says above that the sketch was written by James Schloeffel.
@@lesleywilliams1210 Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.
I’m giving this review 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I miss these two. Just love them. This was absolutely vintage them. Champagne comedy.
The Best!!! Spot on!! We miss you David and Margaret!!
2020 was just a new format for Black Mirror.
"...Nickelback's first album in more than a decade..."
And that's where I lost it, Your Honour.
To quote Marlon Brando "the horror!, the horror!"
Better move the doomsday clock forward a stroke...
@@jamierosewell3461 Joseph Conrad I think
@@gordonhill2180 yes 'Apocalypse Now' stole it from 'Heart of Darkness'
Absolute Gold. Thanks Margaret and David, ingenious right to the last second... wow...... Gold !!!
Completely in character, too. Love it.
Come back David and Margaret
Agree, but don't miss David's reviews on Cinema Nova's channels!
This is much needed humour. Destined to be a classic.
so good, so funny, thank you! please come back Margaret and David and review every week or month - be fabulous!
I'm giving this 5 hearts
Amazing. Bring back the At The Movies archives ABC iview!
So... 2020 was a Lars Von Trier film. No wonder it was so grim!
I get that reference!
And I think the stars of 2020 actually suffered as much as Bjork did...
This year has been awful.
But I'm glad we got this.
omg i love them both. they are national treasures and deserve it
Sorry Margaret, I'm with David on this one. But well played to both of you ;-)
As always, they are entertaining, humorously querulous and informative. Love Margaret and David.
Brilliant. God I miss David & Margaret
Can't wait for the plot twist
Just when Australia thought it was going to have Christmas - the Northern Beaches had a cluster which sent all the states into a tail spin.
The Nickleback bit gave me nightmares.
Good job guys, miss you on television, God bless you both.
Brilliant as always. Miss you loads.
Best ever!!! You two are fabulous!!
love this, thanks David and Margaret
Oh how I miss you both!!!
Luv you both Margaret and David.
David and Margaret- True Icons!
Beautifully done!
.....ohhhh, just wait until the sequel in 2 weeks time!

Wonderful! 👏👏👏
AH-MAY-ZING and spot on. David and Margaret forever!!!!
:) Love these guys ... all that was missing was Margaret say "Ohhhhhhhh David. zero start".
🤣🤣🤣 Makes me miss them both so much! Sorry Margaret, but I have to side with David on this one. 😜
This was fantastic!
Oh this is what 2020 needed!
I have watched this four times!! It’s perfect!! Who wrote it???
Great stuff Margaret and David.
I think 2020 was directed by Ingmar Bergman
He is David's favourite film maker.

Margaret goes for it 5 stars. And that's saying something. David for saying that 5 stars.
I love this so much
So good!
Brilliant. And Carla Bley is looking fabulous!
Love this so much
That was brilliant
Brilliant. Love it love it. Love it.

@@JermirCaesar i 100% agree. He is hated in Victoria because of his stance on abortion. His trial was a witch hunt and abomination.
@@JermirCaesar It was 5-2 I think, not unanimous.
😭😭🥵😂😂well done! The best show ,keep going please 🤗🤗🤗there is only one M&D
LMAO I missed these two
Here after watching The Drum
Made my year LOL
R these guys back together?
Gold!

I must agree with David! It is a zero for me!
lol "when royals retire"... what does that even mean XD
Wait, Nickelback put out a new album?
Gold
So. Fucking. True. 🤣
Ah, what about the Aliens?
Did you miss the scene where NASA admitted there were aliens?
When was that?
@@stu9000 They didn't but someone said they knew aliens existed.

Classic
Absolutely brilliant - though I thought Margaret's acting could do with a little polish!
we live in the Matrix - we dont live in a movie

very true LOL
Hilarious :D
People actually disliked this video...can't imagine their 2020!
ha ha ha ha Woo Hoo
Just wait ‘til you’ve had a couple of years of Joe.
Very good! But I wish he'd get his teeth fixed!
OMG why doesn't he get his teeth fixed!
Because he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to
He's like 100 years old and probably doesn't care what you think.
@@TheTazzietiger The same reason I pronounce 'quinoa' as 'kwin-noah' rather than 'kwin-nwar' . . .
Dude, fix your teeth.
Classic
