Netflix’s new satirical documentary Death to 2021 includes a list of celebrities canceled this year, but the film never explains their controversies.

Joe Rogan was included amidst a slew of celebrities labeled as having been canceled in the satirical Netflix documentary Death to 2021, but the movie fails to explain any of their alleged indiscretions. The film is a follow-up to last year’s Death to 2020, both of which set out to document the events of the year in a humorous light. Although both the Death to 2021 and Death to 2020 universes are rather detailed accounts of the year’s events, their intent is to entertain rather than to inform, meaning explanations are often scant to save room for jokes.

Death to 2021 contains many off-handed jabs at the last year, poking fun at everything from the end of Daniel Craig’s James Bond series to political corruption and vaccine hesitancy. One of the films’s more quickly glossed over bits was its “In Memoriam” stylized segment for all of the celebrities who have been canceled in 2021. The film jokes that the list was featured at the 93rd Academy Awards, but little else is said in regard to the bit.

There are nine names included on the list of canceled celebrities in Charlie Brooker’s Death to 2021, though not all of them belong to real people. Although many of the controversies mentioned were significant enough to be easily recalled, several of the names listed came as a surprise to viewers. With that in mind, here is a look at all of the names mentioned in Death to 2021 and the controversies that landed them on the list of canceled celebrities.
