Netflix Pick of the Week: “Inequality for All”
In the midst of this year’s Oscar buzz, the New York Times described Leonardo DiCaprio’s roles in his recent films “The Great Gatsby” and, of course, “The Wolf of Wall Street” as “putting a face on the ambivalence that capitalism continues to inspire.” Collectively, Americans admire, envy and despise—all at once—what we now refer to as the 1%. The wealthy, it appears, are the beacon of hope to many Americans who see their success as the result of the American Dream. “Inequality for All,” a 2013 documentary narrated by former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, attempts to put these things into perspective by highlighting the growing problem of income inequality in the Unites States.

There are two reasons why I’m looking forward to March 31st: it’s my 21st birthday, and it’s the series premiere of CBS’s new sitcom, “Friends With Better Lives.” With “How I Met Your Mother” coming to a close and Pottruck’s limited supply of “Friends” episodes quickly diminishing, I need a new group of dysfunctional friends to be jealous of.
