Social Justice Warrior
Social Justice Warrior

Intro

  • A lively, candid discussion from the Wild Bunch crew about nostalgia, social sensitivity, and why many 1980s films endure despite claims of being offensive.
  • The speakers challenge the premise that past cinema must be judged solely by today’s standards, arguing that entertainment often reflects its era rather than endorsing harmful behavior.
  • The video critiques the modern habit of labeling films as “problematic” and labels this trend as overreaching, while acknowledging that some films do present outdated stereotypes.

Center

  • The hosts present a sprawling, 32-film catalog as a focal point for debate, noting two recurring patterns: the push to contextualize, and the impulse to condemn.
  • Key examples discussed include:
    • The Breakfast Club: viewed as a landmark, with discussions about Bender’s predatory moment and the film’s coming‑of‑age lessons.
    • 16 Candles: Long Duck Dong and Ted’s antics appear as flashpoints for stereotypes; the crew argues that humor often derives from human flaws rather than moralizing.
    • Revenge of the Nerds: criticized for sexual coercion and manipulation, yet defended for its satire of campus dynamics.
    • Porky’s: notorious shower and spying scenes; the group defends satire by arguing it exposes ridiculous behavior rather than endorsing it.
    • Rambo 3 and action-heavy entries: debates arise over geopolitics, wartime portrayal, and the bounds of offense in adventure cinema.
    • Driving Miss Daisy, Rain Man, and other prestige titles: tensions surface between perceived sensibilities and the films’ broader cultural impact.
  • The conversation frequently returns to:
    • The role of nostalgia in softening or amplifying discomfort.
    • The distinction between social‑justice messaging and storytelling, with viewpoints favoring entertainment-first narratives.
    • The danger of “professional offense” online culture, where individuals constantly seek to condemn rather than understand.
  • Several participants push back against blanket judgments, emphasizing that:
    • Humans make mistakes, and coming-of-age cinema often relies on imperfect characters to reflect growth.
    • Some films contributed to broader conversations about race, gender, and identity, even if they still contain problematic moments.
    • Market realities require studios to balance broad appeal with sensitivity, not to erase legacy cinema entirely.
  • The dialogue employs rapid-fire examples to illustrate that labeling a film as universally “problematic” can erase nuance:
    • The difference between acknowledging flaws and suppressing discussion.
    • The value of context: era, intention, and character development.
    • The notion that some works age awkwardly yet still offer meaningful art, satire, or cultural insight.

Outro

  • The crew concludes that cinema from the 80s remains culturally influential because it mirrors missteps and discoveries of youth.
  • They argue for viewing films with caveats rather than casting them aside, inviting discussion rather than censorship.
  • The takeaway: nostalgia can be provocative, but it also invites critical engagement, not total rejection.
  • Final call to subscribe and keep debates lively, as “problematic” labeling should never eclipse the pleasure of film history and discussion.

Notes

  • The discussion highlights a spectrum of opinions, from fierce defenses of classic humor to sharp critiques of harmful stereotypes.
  • The overarching message centers on embracing entertainment while recognizing and learning from its flaws, rather than surrendering to blanket condemnation.

Transcript

We all know that us guys here in the Wild Bunch are fans of runchy comedies, of 80s
movies. The more politically incorrect, the better they can get. It was these are movies
made back in a time when people didn't care about offending you. They just cared about
entertaining you. And nowadays it's maybe shifting starting to shift a little bit now but
nowadays particularly like the past 5 years 7 8 years or so we ran into this every movie
was looked through the p prism of today's sensibility. So everything got slapped with a label
of problematic and you can't watch that. And if you did watch it and you did enjoy it you had
to preface it with I know this movie is problematic. I know it's a product of its time. I know
this, I know that. I'm a good person, but I still like this movie. Well, we don't deal with that
kind of stuff. But there are articles that lay out all these movies that we love and tell you
everything that's wrong with them. That really isn't anything wrong with them. People are
just sensitive cryb babies. Now, fortunately, I think we're starting to move away from it >>
and we're getting less sensitive crybab or we're just starting to ignore the sensitive cryb
babies >> for the sheltered halfwits that they are >> and say, "Look, it's a movie. It's
entertainment. >> We don't care." But this list is going to point out to you 32 movies that
you should never ever like because they are problematic. And uh we're going to talk about
that right here because if if I'm going to be triggered, this list triggers me. How about that?
Um because this is absolutely crazy. >> So 32 movies >> very problematic movies from the
1980s. >> How is Breakfast Club I I don't even know if it's on the list or they're just using
this as a thumbnail, but how is Breakfast Club? I recently rewatched that film and I know
exactly what people online cuz I went and read about it after I rewatched it. I told you guys
about this before we started and I was like I was loving it. I was like dude I really I hadn't
seen it in a while and I really enjoyed it. So, I went and read about it and people were
saying that uh like the alley sheety makeover like she goes from being basically like herself
basically homeless bag lady looking like the fact that she allows them to like make her over
to make her more appealing to Emil Estz's character is like misogyny. They got to like
steamroll her style and turn her into like, you know, more um conventional feminine uh
attractiveness or whatever. And it's terrible what they do. It's misogyny. It's horrible. She
didn't want to look cute, guys. She wanted to have dandruff. >> So, here is here is the thing
cuz this the the sub headline is nostalgia doesn't always work out for the best. But now, I
want you to be fair. We're going to look the date is September of 2024. So, I think this
because of the way we're actually shifting back away from this now, this now feels dated.
This feels like a product of a time that's already going past. Like people talked about when
one battle after another or the bride uh movies like this that are very just hyper social
justice like one way or the other. These things already feel like they're a defrosted product
from like 2017. They already feel like dated. I feel like people are kind of tired of this and
this is already how fast this is becoming dated. Uh, nostalgia doesn't always work for the
best. I mean, >> here's two things that I noticed off the bat. Go up to the top. >> One, it's
written by a guy. >> Mike. Maybe he's a guy. I don't know. >> It's ma'am. >> You know, you
know, he could go by they them. You know, I may be offending him by saying his name is
Mike and calling him. >> But it says very problematic. It doesn't even say problematic.
These are very problematic. >> Very problematic. >> Problematic. Not just like a little
dusting of problems. >> No. Like they're they're like watch your lock like your kids in the
basement when you watch these movies kind of a thing >> or don't let me come over and
find these on your shelf because this is so problematic. It indicates if you like the Breakfast
Club you're a piece of [ __ ] >> basically. Yeah. >> See that but that's the thing. But see
here this is exactly what we were talking about Jason. This it has you can still enjoy these
with the caveats in mind understanding they are problematic. He literally says it. Consider
the following films a rundown as a catalog of movies that could possibly still be enjoyed
with the following caveats in mind. So, you know, you could if you enjoy them, you have to
understand why you're wrong for enjoying them. >> You can a you can have meat on
Friday. You just got to go you got to go tell your priest about it. You got to go confess. >>
Yeah. Like, okay. If you enjoy the movie, you just have to say, "Well, if you remove all the
funny parts of 16 candles, if you take all the good stuff out of 16 candles, you can still enjoy
the movie. It would be acceptable." >> Yeah. Ju just just go say Five Hail Marys, Three Our
Fathers, and you're totally fine. >> Wipe your ass. >> Wipe your ass. >> Call it good. And
of course, the first whip boy is always revenge of the nerds, right? >> This This one's kind
of a easy It's just too easy of a target. Like it's it's a movie made for it's what is it is this a
toxic masculinity kind of a thing like >> so it says uh rooting for the underdog is easy even
in the case of revenge of the nurse which inappropriately depicts stereotypes of sexuality.
Even worse is the fact that the character of Betty Childs, Julia Montgomery, not only has
scandalous pictures distributed without consent, but she's also tricked into intimacy with
the lead hero Lewis, it's probably for the best that the 2007 remake was cancelled. >> And
as far as I remember, she ended up with him by the end of the movie anyway. >> Correct.
And I guess they had no problem with her and her girls uh being with the Alpha Betas
coming over and destroying those guys party, moot them, all that kind of stuff. Uh basically
tricking tricking those guys into having her boyfriends kidnap them, strip them naked,
basically tar and feather them. >> No problem there whatsoever. Right. But a panty raid is
out of the question. Like, you know, >> here's the thing. I don't even think she she could I
don't think she could get offended because she did. I don't know if I don't remember if she
saw the pictures. All the guys saw the pictures. Yeah, >> the boyfriend saw the pictures. >>
I don't know if I mean, obviously, she probably found out later on if this was a real >> life,
but I mean, >> can we can we be truthful for a minute? He's wearing a Darth Vader helmet.
She can't tell that that's not her big quarterback boyfriend. Number one. Number two, he's
going downtown on her. That means that mask must come off. >> It's got to come off. How
you going to do that with a fader mask on? >> Well, she's laying on her back looking at the
ceiling the whole time in that fun house. >> Like, are you not ever going to like never going
to cast an eye down? Like, you can't tell. Like, you can't tell. Well, first of all, they're like
miles apart, built different. like get out of town. >> And but but here's something they also
they they always point out the problematic >> going down on her to take his asthma inhaler
and then go back down. You know it's not your boyfriend, right? >> And here's the thing.
They always point out the problematic stuff, but they don't talk about the stuff that this
movie probably like progressed. Like look at the I forgot his name. The black gay dude who
had probably the one of the most influential musical scenes in the whole movie. Nobody
really talked about him being gay in the movie. That wasn't even a thing. Now it's like, "Oh,
this is my gay black best friend. You know, he's part of No, he was just part of the crew and
nobody said anything. It was natural, >> you know. >> Nobody made fun of him for being
racist." >> Yeah. >> So, you know, it it but they he points it out inappropriately depicting
stereotypes of sexuality. Um >> that can go both ways because it's like exactly like what
you said with the jock scene like >> Yeah. >> the exact same thing. >> Yeah. They listen
and as someone who was a jock myself, I'm like, you know, we don't all just go around like
doing that and picking on everybody. And >> yeah, that's only a movie thing. That's really
only a movie thing. That was to me when I grew up that was never a jock versus >> And
then the next one I was surprised on the list, Rambo 3. I'm like, what is what is happening?
And it says, uh, Rambo 388 was a different time in geopolitics, as anyone could see
through the presence of several action movies pairing heroes like John Rambo with
freedom fighters. While the viral post about Rambo 3 dedicating the film to their efforts isn't
real. The fact that this antis-siet occupation force eventually helped form the Taliban is >>
wow. You're talking like how far did he have to stretch to do this >> to come up with being
offended by this film? >> This guy just reached further than doulium. >> Yes, I don't. >>
You're talking about mental g I don't even want to give this one any discussion because I
that is >> I can't I I have nothing to say to that. It's like I >> you're you're looking >> there
are people who are professionally offended. >> Professionally offended and terminally
online. Terminally online is a big problem in our society. This is one of those people. He
saw something on a Reddit board somewhere and he's like, "Oh my god, that makes that
I'm so offended now by that movie." Uh just completely crazy. But here is the Breakfast
Club. Jason, you just watched it. The John Hughes comedy landmark almost didn't almost
didn't qualify for this list of problematic 80s favorites, but you know, it almost didn't qualify.
It didn't almost wasn't offensive enough, >> but it but when he took a closer look and
remembered that scene where Bender took advantage of a situation in which he could look
up Claire's skirt, there are still some beautiful life lessons in an absolute classic. But that
moment signified a pattern of behavior from the Breakfast Club's bad boy, which is
unacceptable. So, >> this is a good example of of the guy is not a good character. Like,
he's he's and that's at a point in the movie where he hadn't really kind of been redeemed.
Like, his character was very antagonistic at that point in the film. And that doesn't make the
movie bad. It's not like the movie is saying he looked at her vagina and that's good. We're
going to reward him for that. He's a good character and we should all emulate him. And this
movie is trying to tell you that looking at girls panties when you're underneath a table is like
a desirable thing. It's just something bad that a character does, which like characters do
bad [ __ ] all the time. Like Darth Vader nuked a planet. He like killed >> a billion people
with one button. Like character bad character antagonists are allowed to do antagonistic [
__ ] And that doesn't make the movie problematic. >> Correct. And let's let's be let's be
100% honest. He's already crawling on the floor and he looks, you know, he looks he's
already look He wasn't down there to look up her skirt. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> He just looks
over and he can look up her skirt. >> It's like you said, it wasn't intentionally like he was
trying to be a creep. Yeah. >> But can we just let's let's acknowledge one fact here.
Number one, people are human. Number two, 18 or 17 year old boys with raging
hormones, if they see something, they're going to look. And it's human nature. >> It doesn't
necessarily mean he's an evil person, though. In this movie, he is kind of an antagonist to
start with. It doesn't mean he is evil. You're ignoring the fact that he changes a little bit
through conversations and connections with this girl and others. You're ignoring all of that
and you're just like, "Oh my god, he looked up her skirt. This is evil. This movie's he's
problematic. It show the the the leap too to say it shows a pattern of his behavior." >>
Yeah, I know, right? >> Like, how do you know that? How do you know what he just looked
over in a in a second and saw her skirt? That shows a pattern of his behavior. Like, I But
hey, it almost didn't make the list, you guys. >> It almost didn't. But one of the the
antagonistic character looked at a panty. >> There's my boy Long Duck Dong. That's my
right there. So, 16 Candles and Hey Jason, look, you can take your pick over what piece of
16 candles classic comedy shenanigans is the most problematic as two glaring options
have persistently been discussed in modern times with either the harmful stereotypes
embodied by the entire character of Long Duck Dong or Ted's various escapades trying to
convince his friends he's hooked up with a girl. You could probably start an argument by
just mentioning this movie's name in passing. >> This guy is so triggered that he thinks if
you this movie is so bad and problematic if you just mention it. Yeah. >> It will start an
argument. If if I started if I was amongst a group of people and I mentioned in passing 16
candles the film just in passing I just say yeah the like just like the movie 16 candles and
then I keep going and everybody in that group of people starts arguing about 16 candles I
am removing all of them. I'm deleting all their numbers. I'm blocking all of them. I'm never
talking to any of those wet lesbian fart people ever again because that's what they is. that it
is. So, okay. Has the guy ever been to high school? He He can't He finds it problematic that
a nerd would try to convince his friends he's hooked up with a hot girl. >> Yeah. And he
traies, right? Doesn't he get her panties? He like uh >> Yeah. >> He gets her She feels bad
for him. She gives him her panties and then he uses that as proof. >> But it's like, okay,
whatever. >> Like, have you been to high school? Have you not been around 16 or year
old boys that are like what human nature is a thing is a thing and people being together and
trying to pretend it isn't or calling it problematic is not going to change it because you can't
dehardwire biology that way and you can't do it and you can't single out a decade being like
oh this was from a different era this is from 200 10. Have y'all ever seen the movie Easy A?
Where the whole movie is about her making up that she had sex with so many dudes just
to I guess be popular and to do all this stuff. Like that's the whole premise of the movie with
Emma Stone. That's from like 2010. >> Like and like this isn't an error thing like oh it was
so much worse back then. I'm like >> I think the reason >> see I would push I would push
back on this. I think it's okay to acknowledge a movie has problematic subject matter.
Problematic to who and why. Yeah. >> Acknowledging that you might have a problem with
it is a you >> problem. >> Like it's not necessarily a problem, but it's a you issue. >> Well,
it's a subjective valuation, right? >> Right. It's subjective evaluation because you can't say
what is offensive or problematic to people. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I think Doug Dong had a
career because of this movie. >> Daddy Watanabi. Yeah, man. I mean, shoot, at least he's
really Asian. I mean, you could complain about Mickey Rooney doing the cheesy like
Breakfast at Tiffany's cuz he's doing the Buck Teeth and he's not even Asian, but like if
you've got an Asian dude doing a thick Asian accent, like he's allowed like Biggie Smalls is
allowed to say the N word. Tupac is allowed to say the N word. Why isn't Getty Watabi
allowed to do a thick Asian accent in a movie? >> Okay, so >> because he was born in
California, >> correct? Views Parallax says, "Yeah, but you obviously have a problem with
social justice movies. That's fine, too. You're conflating things. You know what the
difference is? Social justice movies put the message above the story. It's not part of the
story. They put it above the story and they preach to you about it. This is just things that
happen in the context of the movie of people naturally being who they are. It's not saying
it's not saying what uh what looking up the girl skirt. not saying that is good or bad and that
you should do it or you shouldn't do it in and trying to preach to you one way or the other.
It's just this is what this guy did in the moment. >> Yeah. >> It's not taking something and
making it a whole fantasy about rubbing out one side of the political aisle or the other and
making that into a fever dream. It's not taking the bride and making a whole movie telling
men how awful they are. These are two separate things. very very separate things. And if
you go to see a movie like that, then that's fine. This these movies put entertainment first
>> and they left it out there for you to judge how you felt about if if there's something you
didn't like about it or whatever, it's fine. They didn't tell you how to feel about it. That's a
very different thing. >> I think people also got to realize that if you don't like the movie,
don't watch the movie. >> Yeah. >> It's like not everything is made for everybody. And if it
was, it would be extremely boring. That that that that's why we're in the issue we're in today
with Hollywood trying to recover from their whole messageheavy error that they just went
through and are still trying to get out. There is a reason why Hollywood was booming at an
era with movies like this and it's a reason there's a reason Hollywood is failing with the
other movies that you just mentioned like those >> and they're the reason all these movies
are still on multiple people's top one you know these movies have outlasted you know
multiple generations of social differences in and everything. >> Yeah. And they'll still last in
50 years. We'll still be talking about this. You know what? And that proves the movie was
better than >> you know anybody. >> That is that this is right on right here. We have to And
Hollywood is slowly figuring this out, right? And they've been hit with three right hooks one
right after the other. Project Hail Mary, Super Mario, and now the Michael movie. They that
have none of this stuff in it, right? They've been hit with three wakeup calls in a row. You
have to stop thinking that 1% of of the population or even 10% of the population being
offended means you should change anything because if you cater to a very small
population, you're you're not going to survive as a business. You can't do that. >> You
certainly can't make a $500 million movie that way. >> No, you can make you can make a
million dollar artouse film that way. >> Exactly. Exactly. You can make a $50,000 movie,
$100,000 movie. it's an artthouse film or it's even like just limited distribution, >> fine. Yeah.
You don't need to recoup $1.5 billion dollar. But if you're making movies where in order to
break even, you got to make a billion dollars. Like you you need to make sure that like 80%
of the people like the movie. And it's just my whole point about 16 Candles. I can't
remember if I said this before we went live or or during the live, but like if you took out all
the like all of the parts that are like problematic, you don't even really have a funny movie
anymore. It's like all about the expectation of you've got this foreign exchange student. He
happens to be Asian. I think they say he's from China or whatever. But the idea is like the
foreign exchange student. You got and you've got two 80s movies that do this. I think Big
Trouble in the Little China came out right around the same time like the next year as 16
candles. But it's like you have either like this subversion of expectation. You expect this like
Chinese foreign exchange student who's going to be super like nerdy, button down
everything, but then he just throws down and parties. That's the funny part of the character.
16 candles. It's not like the thick Asian accent. It's like you have to present that at first so
that as the audience, we think this guy's going to be like the nerd of all nerds. And then
he's throwing down more than any other character in the movie. He's getting wild. He's
partying. He's like got the new style American girlfriend and all that stuff. But then you also
have Big Trouble Little China when the guy's like Jack Burton's like, "Hey, do any of these
guys savvy English?" And the Asian characters just like, "Yeah, what is he talking about?"
Like he's got a perfect American accent because he's probably born in America. He's been
speaking English his whole life. So, it's like sort of you have to work with these you have
these stereotypes in order to like subvert the expectation and create something that's
actually kind of funny and gets a laugh. And it's like, >> well, that's that's the thing. Part of
the reason that they're funny and that they're not problematic is we are laughing at human
nature >> at at them. Yeah. >> At at human at what we're doing. Like this. We're laughing
at the like our baser instincts. like that's not saying it's okay. >> It's like when they when in
Porky's, which I'm sure is probably on this list, when they're spying on the girls, first of all,
they get their comeuppins for doing that, right? They always get their comeuppins. Um, >>
but you're laughing because you're like, >> these boys are are pathetic and ridiculous. And
then the girls are going to make fun of them and they're going to get their comeuppins. And
it's not just chalking it up to boys will be boys. We're laughing at the baser human nature of
boys. It's not saying it's not condoning it. You're laughing. It's like almost satire in a way.
You're laughing at the baser human nature. >> I think I think something else to consider too
that we've forgotten about. It's one of my favorite genres which I feel like people just don't
do anymore. These are coming of age movies. Yes. >> Coming of age is discovery. You got
to discover yourself like like he's like like long long Doug Dong is discovering himself you
know >> in in in this character like so many like Breakfast Club they're teenagers they are
discovering themselves. It's a coming of age like >> you're not supposed to have it all
figured out. You're not supposed to know everything that you should be and shouldn't be
doing. >> You have next up you have police academy. And we won't talk I promise y'all we
won't talk about all these this long. We'll never get through them all. Police Academy. Uh,
>> police academy is just Yeah, >> it's just it's a farce. It's a farce. And of course, they're
they're trying to say that there was like a trope of of gay panic or something like that
because there's a running gag of the blue oyster cult or the blue oyster bar. Um, and it's
like again, you're Did you even see cruising? Do you have the same complaints about
cruising? Uh, you know, so I I'm just going to I'm just going to leave that one because
again, you're just looking to be offended by something. And then here's one that comes up
again again. So Sman and is the only one on here that I can say, okay, maybe I mean it's
it's a joke, but at the same time, >> but if you look, >> James Earl Jones defended the hell
out of this movie because he pointed out what it showed about the a about the
African-American experience, about being a black man, and like these different things. It
pointed out the stuff that was happening or had happened before traditionally and all those
things. And it's one of those things where sometimes um people don't want to get through
the the less the through the steps of the lesson to get the final correct answer. It's like
they're so offended by how we got there. They missed the point >> of it. And the point was
to outline this discrepancy that had taken place in the past and was still taking place at the
time. I will go so far as to say that I think Soulman is a film that was decades ahead of its
time as like a satire or comedy like making fun of a certain thing >> where it's like you know
you go from this you know this period of time in the past where it was like you know we had
tons of racism back then we had tons of racism in the past which must mean we have le
less racism now like you know looking at this list we got all these problematic '8s movies I
can think of 32 of them by this Mike fella or they themma. And and it's like it must mean
that today's movies are so much better. We've we've learned. We're enlightened. Like 40
years from now, no one's going to look at movies of 2025 and think, "Oh man, these things
were so problematic." Like Mike's grandkid is going to make a list in 40 years about how
the movies that are coming out this year were so problematic by 2060 standards or
whatever. And it's um I think Soulman is well ahead of its time for the fact that at some
point you're going to have people like trying to fraud and game a system that exists. >>
Well, see, I could I could point out here if you want to be offended, I could say I'm offended
as a white person, as a white man, because why does he have to do this? Because he
doesn't have the money to pay to go to school himself. And there is a scholarship that
exists for other races, for African-Americans that is not available because he is white. So
he he doesn't have the money either. And he's trying to get the money, right, to go to go to
school and it's not available to him because he's white. So you could flip that on your head
on on the other way and say, "Well, this side, what about him? He's he's trying to take
these drastic measures cuz he can't pay to go to school either. And he doesn't have this
accessible to him because of his skin color. So if you want to play that game, you could go
both sides of it there. And and you know, but like I said, James Earl Jones defended that
movie. I'm not real sure what the problem with Better Off Dead is. >> Oh, because it's got
the Asian guys, right, that he races against. >> I guess >> stupid. That's not even that
offensive. It's Asian guys speaking in an accent. Who cares? Oh, they're they're
complaining because the that the the act the actual upset comes from the fact that uh
Akumoto revealed that he was dubbed over in the role by an impressionist. >> He dubbed
a lot though. >> I want to know what the Rainman thing is. >> All right, let's >> What's
problematic with with Rayman? Because he wasn't really artistic >> Rainman was a huge
hit as well as becoming the best picture winner. However, from a current lens, >> current
lens, >> a more current lens, Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of a neurode divergent math whiz
doesn't exactly pass muster. >> Oh, so he's the expert on uh on neur neurode divergence
now, huh? And it and it says that the it doesn't help that the movie's title has also found
itself now used as derogatory SLANG FOR OH MY GOD. You're you're retroactively
applying like people you Oh my god. Like >> cuz you call him Rainman. Cuz it's not nice to
call him the Rword anymore. I get yelled at for saying that sometimes. Oh, it So, wait now.
If in 40 years the the term pop culture is like offensive somehow, all of my stuff is now
offensive because they've changed the meaning of the word. >> Yeah. >> Culture mean
Yeah. Yeah. Culture. You can't talk about the culture of anything. >> Can't talk about culture
anymore. Like what? >> Here here's the thing. I've never heard anybody call somebody
with any disabilities Rainman. I've ne I mean >> I've done it before. I've I've totally done it
before company where I'm gonna get in trouble for using the R word. >> I'll call that person
Rainman if I think they're I'll be like they'll like they're like Rainman or something like when
they're a soant. You know what I mean? But yeah, you don't just call him that when they're
drooling. You call them that when they're like, "Oh, this guy is a moron." Until you like in in
one thing he's like amazing, right? Okay. He's Rainman cuz he's got this one skill that he's
like he's like Albert Einstein in this one narrow field but then everything else he's like
pissing his pants and stuff. >> I just like you're you're taking a shot at this movie because
40 years later people have decided to use because there is a neurode divergent person in
that movie. You think some people have started to call other neurode divergent people
Rainman because it was the title of that movie. So now the title of that movie is a problem.
>> Yeah. >> That the mental gymnastics that takes deserves you to be slapped. >> And
the message of the movie doesn't even matter. The message. >> No, the whole message
of the movie doesn't matter. >> Yeah. Tom Cruz learning to you know live and you know
discovering he had a brother and the heart imp like it won best picture for a reason and it's
one of these movies that still like it tears you up. Like it's so emotional and it's so good. But
nope, but because like here's the thing. If if being called Chase, you know, in 20 years is a
bad thing. Like, oh, you're you're a Chase. Like, imagine all the Karens right now. >>
Correct. >> You know, like, oh, you oh, you can't name your kid Karen anymore. >> And
here it is. Here is Porky's >> Pork. >> There's definitely hilarious consequences when it
comes to the main act of peeping tom foolery. >> So, you like the movie. So I'm getting
from this movie is you like the movie you you laughed at this >> that makes Porky's mach
that that makes Porky's machia centerpiece but out of context out of context um and
perhaps even in context perhaps even in context even if it's funny and we understand why
it's funny. A group of boys exposing themselves through a hole in the girl shower doesn't
play with modern audiences. Not even if it gives us the infamously funny wanted poster
scene. >> One boy. One boy did that. >> One boy. Yeah. One boy did that. And guess what
happened to him? >> He got his [ __ ] pulled. >> Yes. >> By somebody he didn't want. And
which gave us the most funny scene in the movie? The tallyhwhacker scene. >> Yes. the
and oh my god I just can't like they get us too >> like >> the girl the woman's name is
literally ball breaker. >> Yes. >> Ball breaker. He doesn't talk at all about the lassie scene.
>> No. No. He doesn't talk about I'm surprised he doesn't. I'm surprised he doesn't. Um >>
he goes straight to the shower scene which I can think of a hundred more problematic
there's way more problematic scenes in there. the big black man in the in the when when
when they go to the the hookers >> the I mean the lassie scene she's getting turned on for
being around the boy smells and the locker room shoving a sock in her mouth again but it's
farce it's so over the top of human nature and and the whole it takes the boy the teenage
boys and girls wanting to get laid and and and boys being boys and girls being girls stuff
cranks it up to 11 for you to laugh at >> teen boys going to a strip club. >> I get in shocked.
>> Yeah. It's like you your your your problem with um Breakfast Club is that oh he
accidentally saw up this girl's skirt but in Porky's it's absolutely hilarious and I see
something wrong. But them trying to go to a strip club and get and spend the whole time
trying to get laid. Like there's a cut judging contest in the beginning of the movie. Well, the
in this the aftermath in the the scene in the principal's office, you have a female authority
figure wanting to blindfold these guys, put bags over their head so she can look at all of
their junk and identify it. >> Yep. >> No problem there though, right? >> Because I see the
next one is big. Um >> Oh god. >> Because he's basically a boy in >> in an adult's body
and she has sex with him. Um, so >> but but she doesn't but but she doesn't know this. >>
She doesn't know that. >> She has no idea she's taking advantage. Yeah. >> Yeah. She
doesn't. >> And it is pretty clear by the end he has the the adult visage of him has started
to take over more because he stops playing with his friend right so much. He's he's actually
working like an adult. He starts to change as it goes. adult consequence and the adult, >>
you know, like everything started, it starts to strangle the child part of him and he realized
that's why he chooses to like he wants to be big so he can have all the privileges, but then
and and sex is part of that, right? Like >> you become an adult and and like theoretically
you have I don't know about the kids these days, but you know, you grow up and you have
sex because that's part of being an adult, you know? It's like obviously the whole movie is
about this balance between like this desire to be an adult but still not quite being there yet
and and choosing eventually to go back to childhood instead of like trading it away to be
big. >> It's like he missed the whole point of that movie. >> He missed the whole point.
Missed the whole point. And I can only imagine I'm guessing the problem with Indiana
Jones and Temple of Doom is again uh the portrayal of Short Round. >> Oh, for sure. says
there's always that one entry that can be called out. >> No, he's talking about the monkey
brain scene. He's talking about >> the racist undercurrents throughout the humor and
action of the pre prequel to Raiders of the Lost Arc is a huge step backwards. It's also not
very funny unless you consider fueling inaccurate stereotypes involving the consumption of
chilled monkey brains is hilarious. >> I think the monkey brain scene is pretty cool though
cuz she's barfing in his hat and stuff. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I don't I I don't see why
that's problematic. Like that's why they also have this group of dudes that are like they
have child sla like Okay, the monkey brains is a problem. The whole child slavery thing
though. >> No problem at all. Right. >> That like no because see they're all the same. >>
Child slaves eating monkey brains tracks. >> Oh, but Jason, those guys who are enslaving
those kids, those kids and those guys are all of the same ethn ethnic racial background. So
>> So it's okay. No problem. whatsoever there. >> So if the height dudes, that would be a
problem then. >> He we mentioned the child slavery. >> He didn't go with the Indiana
Jones being a white savior. He went straight to the monkey brains. >> Yep. >> Yep. He
went straight to the monkey brains. And now we got All Dogs Go. Oh gosh. >> The
controversy around All Dogs Go to Heaven is one that's leveled against pretty much every
animated film Don Bluth ever created. That's right, folks. The animated movie has been
deemed too dark for kids. And if that wasn't bad enough, >> the character of King Gator
has been singled out as potentially insensitive as well. So, he can't even say he is. He's
saying he's maybe he's potentially insensitive. So, I'm offended. >> It's like insensitive, too.
That's another one like problematic. It's like insensitive. Like, I can't really call it racist. It's
just not sensitive. It's like not everything has to be sensitive, right? Why does everything
have to be perfectly sensitive and like perfectly polite and [ __ ] like that? It's like >> and
Don Blof, it's just too dark. It's too again for the parents to decide for their kids, not for you
to to decide. And that goes back to movies today. You don't get to decide for me what's
right or wrong and preach it to me. You can present it. You can present what they did in
Porky's looking through there and you can say, "Well, they shouldn't be doing that and
they're getting punished for it." Or you can think, "I just think that's funny as hell." You don't
get to decide for me one way or the other. That's the problem. That's the kids >> and he he
he can't even go into detail of what they did in this movie. It's just like it's, you know, >> I've
never even seen Short Circuit 2. >> Short Circuit 2. >> Yeah. You got a white guy playing
an Indian dude. >> Yes. you get. Yeah, that's that's what his problem. >> He more e he
should have been cast with a more ethnically appropriate lead. I'm not even giving that the
time of day. >> No, not >> with all the race swapping that's going on with key characters.
Can we I mean, >> what you just did, you just changed the whole connotation of the whole
Harry Potter series by changing that one race. >> That's going to cause so many problems
with that story. >> I'll give him short circuit too if if he gives me white chicks. Yeah. >> If
you're allowed to do white chicks, then I'm okay. Everything's f like you do white chicks. Do
white chicks, too. I'm totally fine with it. What's his name? Nick Cannon used to dress like a
white guy in his show. I don't give a [ __ ] As a white dude, I saw that and thought if it's
funny, it's funny. Like, if I laugh, I'm not getting buttth hurt over it. >> The problem is you
can't call this clickbait because I can Google you 8,000 articles that are just like this. like
thousands of this man this man definitely went and he put in I'm I'm assuming maybe Mike
is not even really his name like it could be >> now we have karate kid karate kid is
problematic you can't like >> the magical Asian trope what >> the magical Asian trope like
is there when is that when was that a trope >> basically he just said he just took the
magical negro trope and turned it into like place the >> I've never heard of a magical Asian
trope And >> because he he does the the Miyagi thing like >> I do that to my kids, man. My
kid falls and hits her knee and I'm like this and then I put it on there. I'm like, "How's that
feel? Better now? I know a secret technique." And she gets up and it's better cuz it, you
know, >> be in 10 seconds anyway, right? Like it's a little psychology trick. >> We're not
trying to give this you see us. We're not talking. We're not giving this crit. This is >> he is
representative again. this. You can go to Rotten Tomatoes. He pulls some of this from
there. So like this isn't just this one guy. This one guy just has >> more of them in one spot.
Yeah. He's pulling this from everywhere. >> Karate Kid, get out of here. And he thinks
Cobra Kai has improved the legacy because he finds it more woke, which news flash, it's
not really. Um, but >> Driving Miss Davy driving this movie. Did he even watch this movie
or did he just see a like a description of the movie? >> I Let's see. So, in another year, in
any other year, Driving Miss Daisy would have merely been seen as problematic for the
fact that it's decidedly softer tale about overcoming racism. But as Morgan Freeman
Jessica Tandyled film was crowned for best picture, best picture against uh Do the Right
Thing, the criticisms only grew louder and more enduring. >> Driving this Daisy is racist
because it beat Spike Lee. That's it. >> That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. And see,
here's the thing, and this makes >> I would argue I would argue do the right thing is a little
bit more racist than is a lot more racist than driving with Daisy. >> And here here is the
same problem with um the argument against like a song of the south where or song of the
south. >> You're saying it is problematic for a softer tale of overcoming racism. Do you
know it? This is a big wide world and not everybody experienced the same levels of
anything. Not everybody experienced this racism the same. People had different
educations, different jobs, different backgrounds. Not everybody Not everybody's
experience was the same. And if you're a white man trying to pretend it was, I call you
racist and problematic for that. Like, >> and isn't this a period piece? >> Yes, it's period
piece. >> Yes. >> Yeah. This is not Morgan Freeman in the 80s driving around an old white
woman in the 80s. Like this is like in the 50s or something or the 40s. >> Yeah, I think it's
the 40s. Yeah. >> Yeah. The principal. >> And then uh next, the principal. Are you kidding
me? Because um it is. Who would have thought that a flick where a school's head
disciplinary beats a student handtohand combat would have aged so poorly? It's because
he a white man dare dares to clean up a district uh that is violent and full of intimidation.
Like what? >> It's classic white colonialism. It's terrible. >> Yeah. >> I'm selling my my copy
of The Principal tomorrow. >> Oh my god. I ain't giving it Beetlejuice. What? >> Yeah. >>
Can you love Beetleju? >> Will. >> Can you love Beetlejuice warts and all? Because Tim
Burton's legendary horror comedy is a fun ride. However, we all seem to be on the we all
seem to be on the same page just about how problematic the 88 original story is. >> Do we
do we are we all on the same page because he was trying to marry the obvious underage
uh Lydia. Uh and somehow these two became the best of friends for four seasons of an
animated series. Wait, so what are you com what does the animated series have to do with
you finding the movie problematic? Also, dude, he's dead. He's a ghost. Come back. Oh
my god. The wizard. Uh, the titular character in The Wizard isn't outright diagnosed with
autism spectrum. The wider reading of uh the wider reading of this 1989 adventure sees
young Jimmy coded as such a character. Apparently caused by a death in the family uh
that later ended his parents' marriage. Jimmy seemed to have two choices. Run away or
be sent to an institution. Sorry to say, but this is an 80s childhood classic that sucked. >>
You know, he just didn't like the movie. >> Uh well, because it never says he's a autistic,
but he's coded as it. I wasn't aware you can you develop autism because you witnessed a
tragedy. >> I don't know. >> I don't know about that, but that's what he's insinuating. Um,
>> I developed autism because I ate too much GMO food in my 30s. [ __ ] >> Taco Bell
game. >> Yeah, I ate too much genetically modified Taco Bell >> hormones in the beef. >>
The whole coded it's coded. Is this you're you're taking a 1989 you're taking a 35 year old
movie and looking at it through your prism of 35 years later and trying to put things on it. >>
Ridiculous. And then Howard the Duck I'm going to say is probably unexpected duck nudity
and the intimacy between Howard and uh Beverly. I >> How old is Howard the Duck in this
>> duck? is how >> the duck is grown. They're both grown. >> So like I mean it seems it
seems creepy, but that's up like that doesn't mean the movie is problematic. It's like whoa
wait it like where this is going and everything else. It's like because he's a duck and she's a
human. But she also laughs it off and it never goes that far. And they actually call out that
it's unnatural in the movie. They're like what is happening here? >> I don't think you
actually watched any of these. >> I I don't think so. uh Superman: The Quest for Peace. >>
Uh if there's anything that fans and even John Crier sharing negative Superman 4 feelings,
it's the fact that the classic installment was handled by canon films in a way that showed
they had no idea how to make this film because they tried to suggest that Christopher
Reeves, that Superman could solve the nuclear arms race. >> He's I mean, he's
Superman. >> Wait, how is that problem? How do we go? Was that problematic? >> How
did we go from like the beginning of this article where, you know, he he kind of had putting
it didn't make sense, but he had arguments to just being like Superman shouldn't be able to
stop this war. That's probably >> You think we're the first people to read this far in the
article? >> Probably. >> Maybe he's like, I'm just slide a few. >> Hey, so many of you in the
comments wanted Iron Eagle on a on physical media 4K. >> It's problem. It's too
problematic to put on 4K. is problematic >> because of Iron Eagle's attitudes towards
international relations. >> Oh god. >> Oh my god. Do you think by the time he got in this
guy got an assignment and goes, I need you to make a list of this many and it has to be
this many. So he's just >> And trust us that the that uh trust us the sequels that follow
aren't anymore enlightened. Jesus. >> Enlightened by Whose standards? >> Look Who's
Talking? Oh, >> Talking. What's wrong with this one? >> Uh, everybody seems to
remember Look Who's Talking as an adorable movie where Mikey talks up a storm while
his mother Molly and her future husband fall in love. But what everyone seems to forget is
Mikey's biological father was a married man who totally abandoned his mother and him in
the process. Why does that make the movie problematic? >> It's just the conflict of the film.
like he's just having a problem with the storyline. >> Yeah. It's like isn't it isn't this movie It's
been a long time since I've seen this movie and I always get them confused because it's
the look who's talking to with the dogs and all that. >> But I mean, isn't she just trying to
find love again? >> Yeah. >> Like cuz she's a single mom. >> She's a single mom. Like >>
she's just a single mom trying to find love again. Oh no, you were divorced. You you're like
it's problemat. Like I don't get this one. Like there's no argument here. But th the you don't
get it. And this is part of the point. This is why I wanted to do this because people who
defend the idea of these other movies being labeled as problematic or insensitive through
today's prism. This is where you divorce yourself of 90% of the country that is common
sense. >> Yeah. >> Because you start to remove rational discourse and common sense.
and you start when you start to get offended and you squeeze everything. There's a
famous line in Star Wars that's always fitting. The tighter you squeeze your grip, the more
star systems will slip through your fingers. And that's what exactly what has happened. The
more you've tried to squeeze and push an agenda and and and label and destroy things
people like, the more people you lost on your side, >> the more people got tired of hearing
it. You know, if you're if you're openand about it, you can hold more. But the more you
squeeze those people and drill and take away from them, the more you're like, you know
what? This [ __ ] is old. I'm tired of this. This is getting ridiculous at this point. And I mean,
when you start saying, oh, because she got she got pregnant from a man who was married
and that's not right. That's not You're missing the whole point of the movie. That doesn't
make it problematic. What she did wasn't right, but that doesn't make the movie
problematic. She's obviously having to live with the consequences of that. >> This guy
obviously doesn't live in real life because it's like >> I would like to say >> adultery. Adultery
is a very real thing in this world. Divorce rates, nobody's staying married. >> It's part of
what makes the bad guy like the the deadbeat dad or whatever. It's part of what makes him
an antagonistic character then. >> Yeah. >> It's another one of those things where it's like
you're not supposed to that's a character that you're not supposed to like. So, the fact that
he does bad things like he knocks up this woman while married and then ditches her with
his kid, that's not it's it's part of what makes him a bad character. You know, nobody
watches. Look who's talking and thinks, "Yeah, that's a guy I identify with. That character
right there, the scumbag guy. That's going to be me when I grow up." But see, Brian, you
hit on. You said, "This guy doesn't live in reality." And there's tons of people in the chat
saying, "Oh my god, this guy is ridiculous." But the problem is you guys, it's not just this
guy. There are thousands, tens of thousands of articles like this. Hundreds of thousands,
millions of Reddit posts agree and label these movies. This this guy is representative. He's
not isolated. He's >> representative talking [ __ ] about 16. >> It's not con It's not this one
guy. He's just a representation of the whole. So this is their reality and this is where you get
so many people over here being like this this is this is not this is you're you're so far out we
can't do this anymore. Tootsie I'm guessing because he's crossdressing. It's misogyny and
transmission phobia uh >> are the particular lenses that criticizes Sydney Pox's picture. Uh
there's no lessons learned. I'm I'm not even Well, Sleepaway Camp again, we're gonna
have um >> we Yeah, >> the landmark twist blah blah blah. Not the main problem though.
>> Sexual relationship. >> Yeah. Snapped and witness like you know it's a horror movie
and and like the people are killers and twist. This isn't representative of real life, right? I
think that's a lot of the problem that people miss now is everything isn't reality television.
It's not supposed to be representative of a real slice of life. >> Yeah. >> It's a story. It's a
story. It's make believe. It's entertainment. You're supposed to separate those two things.
>> I want I I want to see the list from the 80s because this is specifically 80s. What movies
from the 80s survived this guy's scrutiny? I can't think of any movie from the 80s. >> Well,
or just scrutiny because like I said, this guy is just representative. We're all on it because
you're gonna see Crocodile Dundee in a minute and you know what they did to it. Try it
before they ever put it out. So, it's not just him >> cocktail, you know, like again, he finds
the movie problematic just because he doesn't like what happens to one of the characters
that the character decides to selfdelete. >> Yeah, >> that doesn't make the movie
problematic. the character was troubled and he had like that's part of what makes Tom
Cruz's character learn that he doesn't want to be that way and and learns a lesson. So, like
I can't uh Paul Hogan, we know now if if you guys collect physical media, there you go. You
want to get the old Blu-ray because the new 4K again, this guy is just representative of a
whole. He's not in isolation >> because this is this is the exact guy the reason we got the
encore cut and why nobody's buying it, >> right? This is the reason why nobody's buying
the altered cut with so much content cut out of Crocodile Dundee because uh when it
comes to a lot of content presented in the film, uh it says it Crocodile Dundee has a lot to
answer for. It has a lot to answer for with the content presented in the film. But if you had to
just choose one example of how horrendous this movie is uh that hasn't aged well, then it's
when Mick Dundee outs a transmission woman to the amusement of a bar packed with
patrons. That just might be the most compelling proof. We can't say that, you know, it's
transmission. Um, >> here's what he also missed. Like it it's okay for him to just see and
get a and get mad, but the woman in this scenario was s, you know, going after him and
was going to take him back and not tell him. >> Yeah. No problem with that whatsoever.
Right. Catfished. >> Yeah. Getting catfished. She didn't say, "Oh, by the way, I'm this." She
was playing like, "No, don't don't. >> That's non-consensual." >> Yeah. That's
non-consensual. And all he did was check. >> Yeah. You can't pull out a ding-dong without
my consent. I'm not down for that. >> And it's a whole fish. It's like what we were talking
about earlier. People forget coming of age is about coming of age. This is a fish out of
water story. He is from a whole different world. Even by Australia standards, he's from a
whole different world. He's from the outback. You're supposed to be laughing at the fact
he's so disconnected from modern society. He doesn't know any >> Yeah. >> He doesn't
know any better. He's terrified to go down an escalator. >> Yeah. >> He doesn't know how
to use a toilet. You know, it's like >> the the leay scene or whatever, you know. It's like >>
And then of course, I knew this one was going to be on here. Just one of the guys. >> Um
>> she's got fantastic boobies, by the way. >> Just one of the guys is more concerning you
guys. It's more concerning. >> Oh god. >> The fact that Terry had to flash bare chest to
prove she was actually female or that the whole movie is gender swapping version of She's
All That. Um, you do know this predated She's All That by >> 15 20 years or something. >>
He has the whole list is about the 80s. Oh. >> Uh, while this movie does get points with
modern audiences for handling its story about sexism with sensitivity, the seemingly
exploitive moment sets the message back a bit. Why? They did this exact scene in She's
the Man, which came out in 2006 when they were on the football field and prove it. Okay.
They didn't show it, but it was still there of her doing the same thing. >> Correct. So, it's like
how like he doesn't she's done such a good job proving she's a guy he doesn't believe her.
>> She chooses to show him in that moment >> and she shows >> her choice. >> She
shows her breasts. Correct. >> Correct. >> I was in bodybuilding long enough to know
many people with gynecomastia. That don't prove nothing. Just because she got boobs
does not prove nothing about your biology. You know what I'm saying? >> Say she need to
drop drawers. I see. Yeah. I need to see the hardware beneath the waist in order to see
what you working with. Because if you're just showing me the top, that's just hood
ornaments. You know what I'm saying? Like you just got a wrap on your vehicle. I need to
look under the hood. >> Now that's >> What is the problem with Teen Wolf? >> Who
knows? >> The the garagebased scene between Teen Wolf Scotty and his best friend Style
certainly proves the point that the 80s were a different time. using a home explorer. >> Did
he use the f- word? >> Yeah, probably. >> Yes, >> he used it in Weird Science. Anthony
Michael Hall said it in Weird Science. I was watching that last night and I was like, "Oo, he
dropped the uh fbomb, but not the >> other Fbomb. The other F-bomb. >> You're going to
go back. You're gonna go back 40 years later and apply your current sensibilities to
something said 40 years ago." >> Yeah. If if the f word like that is a problem, uh then you
probably just erased way more movies than Teen Wolf. >> If you go back 50, no, probably
more, 70 years, the word gay meant something completely. >> You have a gay old time,
man. Every time I watch Flintstones, I have a >> Don, we now are gay apparel. >> Yeah,
gay just meant happy. Now it seems gay means anything but happy because they ain't
have, you know, ain't nobody happy with nothing. But um it words take different meanings
in different errors. You know, >> we know in today's age, we don't say the f- word, but 40
years ago, nobody >> you're again, you're going to a very different time. A very different
time. >> Trading Places, we know the obvious one, and that it's the roster scene, right? >>
And this is the this was number one on the list. Dirty Dancing was number two on the list
because of the >> Trading Places is number one. >> Trading Places is number one. Uh, the
trading places seem to get right. Uh, for as much as it seemed to get right in its satire of
wealth and inequality in racial politics, the implied violation of one of the film's villains by a
gorilla >> and the blackfaced act of Dan Akroyd use uses in the final act are quite
problematic. >> Also, the controversy >> getting it from the gorillas that bad though. He
kind of asked for it. He was a pretty bad dude. I think he was gonna Wasn't he going to
murder them? Like he was gonna literally kill them. >> Yes, he was going to kill them >>
and instead he gets forcibly loved by a gorilla. Honestly, if I've got to get killed, I I honestly
think that's kind of fair treatment for a murderer. Like, I'm just saying like, you know, well,
here is the thing. Uh, >> and and he's basing it was inappropriate for them to hire John
because of that. >> It makes the movie problematic because they hired John Landis
because of the stuff that happened over the Twilight Zone movie. >> I like that. So, it's like
this filmmaker, this movie is problematic because the filmmaker made another movie that
was problematic. So, it's just problematic by association. So, Trading Places is problematic
because it's an Eddie Murphy movie where a white guy does blackface, but Coming to
America, Eddie Murphy does how many different racial >> does a lot of white characters?
>> Yeah, he does a lot of white characters. He does a Jew an old Jewish character, but
that's not problematic. People in the comments and as we were going through here,
people, you want to chalk this up to this guy, >> but unfortunately, Google it. Google
problematic movies of the 80s. It's not this guy. >> You'll find Google you like >> like that.
That's what happens to me. Like I was watching the the Brat Pack movies like I was telling
you guys before this >> and I was just googling the movies just to like read about them and
you know I was finding all sort of conversations where people would just I wasn't even
looking for people to call them problematic. People were coming out and saying you know
if you like 16 candles you're a piece of [ __ ] and stuff like that. And I was like I disagree. I
like I like Long Duck Dong. >> Yeah. It's not You do. >> I do. >> It's not It's not contained to
this guy in isolation. He is representative of the whole. And therein lies the problem. You
just can't go back in time and retroactively put today's standards or your own personal
standards. He made up a lot of assumptions in here. He said, "All of us agree on this." All
of who? Because no, the people in your echo chamber, your circle might agree with it, but
the larger part of the population, these movies are beloved. >> So you are inaccurate. But
that is part of the problem. That's part of the reason a lot of more modern movies fail.
People think that their echo chamber, this small representative portion that might be 10%
or less, represents the whole. And then when you put $500 million behind a movie that you
think represents the whole and it represents five or 10% of the population, your movies
keep failing and you become out of touch with the people with the bigger group of people.
