I would've balanced it out when the girl walks in the the building in breakin' with: "this is how every white liberal progressive woman sees herself."
None if the comments when Josh wore his commie shirt, and the comments on the Prey movie are to go by. Boomer libs and T(umbler)-Span millennials/gen z are their primary audience.I wonder how many subscribers RLM will lose because of that Trump joke?
They obsess over it because for a giant period of time in Hollywood it was true.
Hollywood was just holding back the tide of Fujoshi fans for as long as possible. Unfortunately, anime and urban fantasy happened, so the yaoi menace will remain unstemmed until the apocalypse finally frees us all.
So are senseless pre-built plots (still are), that demand exact story beats. You know the phenomenon that lets them predict the story to the letter, even the exact jokes (which they did here).
Not even to get into politics, but I remember the same from being subject to religious made products back during the 7 minutes of my youth being built in a Catholic factory in Mexico.
I think they kind of touched on this in their Bruce Willis "Geaser Teaser" video. At one point they talk about Roger Corman and how he spent his limited money on special effects and getting up and coming talent to helm his movies vs. modern crap films that use cheap CGI, untalented directors hired because of nepotism, and wasting their money on stupid stuff like getting a faded action star to show up for two days of work. The former is a combination that might yield some entertainment for the audience even if it was shot on a shoestring budget vs. the latter which is just cheap pumped out crap meant to be sold to a streaming service and forgotten about.
Or all of the above in the case of Invasion USA.
What about the museum scene in John Wick 3 when they suddenly realize they're surrounded by weapons.
I wouldn't say Spielberg movies exactly. I'd say shitty 80s B movie VHS, which is much worse IMO. By B movie standards, VHS 80s B movies were always the trashiest of media, like Uve Boll-tier productions made to take advantage of tax loopholes rather than attempts to create a good movie based on limited budget. That's the reason why the Spaghetti Western is respected now despite its B movie lineage, it's why Film Noir has a dedicated niche audience, or even 50s sci-fi, they were attempts to tell a story no matter how bizarre or silly the premise actually was.
