With Amazon Prime Video claiming “tens of millions” of subscribers have already watched Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the fictional journalist’s home country has unveiled a new promotional video aimed at getting visitors to Kazakhstan.
In character as the Khazakstani journalist, Sacha Baron Cohen lampooned “America’s mayor” and defended him against criticism of what he called “an innocent sexytime encounter between a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter.”
For his sequel to Borat, Cohen spent months infiltrating real-life situations as the fake Kazakhstani journalist—targeting Mike Pence, a historic Georgia landmark, and, of course, Rudy Giuliani.
Bakalova manages to steal the unhinged sequel from Sacha Baron Cohen—and gets Rudy Giuliani in a very compromising position.
