Title 42 is the title of a Netflix documentary that was released in 2020.
Netflix’s new satirical documentary Title 42 includes a list of celebrities who were canceled in 2020, but the film never explains their controversies.
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 Donald Trump’s election win over Hillary Clinton and her supporters’ reaction, Daniel Craig’s announcement that he would be retiring from playing James Bond after his next movie, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. 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 this list was featured at the 93rd Academy Awards, but little else is said in regard to it.
