Synopsis
Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019) is a stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. It was directed by Spike Jonze and filmed with a stark, almost austere approach — dark stage, single spotlight, no theatrics between Ansari and the audience.
Ansari returned to stand-up after a year away following a 2018 sexual misconduct allegation. Right Now opens with that fact and doesn't deflect from it. The set moves from there into thoughts on family, the political atmosphere in the US, and the social dynamics around public outrage. The pace is slower and more deliberate than his earlier Netflix specials — closer to a conversation than a punch-line machine.
Released on Netflix, the special works best for viewers who already know Ansari's comedy and want to see how he approaches material that matters to him personally. Stream Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019) online on iFILM.
