My overall impression
Toddler Bangs America is a sharp, incisive satire of our every-day complicity in the rise of corporate oligopoly and the logical extrapolation of the consequences of Citizens United. Ed Goodman is Toddler Bangs; the charming, slick, fast-talking boyfriend you just can’t manage to break up with even though you know you should. The rest of the cast, including MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE, are our surrogates; the victims/abettors/beneficiaries of Bangs’ corporate juggernaut. CJ Merriman is hysterical as Bangs’ on-again-off-again girlfriend. Robbie Winston plays a well-meaning but over-matched environmentalist and the three form the legs of a tortured love triangle. If you like to see women writhing on the ground eating cheeseburgers then this is the show for you!
