Brother, I got through half of your video before looking at your view & sub count… I assumed you were at least 300k & 100k respectively… amazing video man, you deserve a massive following 💯🤘

He was always political but with finesse. When people criticize a movie for being too political they usually mean that it lacks finesse and balance. That is why people live South Park which is often very political. The problem is when there is a lack of self awareness.

Humour 😂

I hope you've watched Incendies by Denis Villeneuve. His last movie before going Hollywood. A incredible journey to solve a mystery with an insane gut punch of an ending!

Really great video, keep up the good work. As you stated, when analyzing McKay’s material going back to SNL, he’s always had an anti-establishment edge behind his work (which I think contributed to what I consider some of SNL’s better seasons). That being said, I think that has an expiration date when you’ve been a part of and contribute to the establishment for as long as he has. At some point, it goes from “kicking it to the man” to “kidding with the man.” As for Ferrell, it isn’t surprising that he cut off ties with McKay. He’s famously done that with others (Chris Kattan talked about how he severed ties with him in his memoir) and he’s definitely someone you don’t want to piss off in the slightest.

Can’t stay I agree, The Campaign was weak and Get Hard just sucked while on the other hand I enjoyed The Big Short and even thought Vice was decent.

Three sugestions!!!! SEAN BAKER, JACQUES AUDIARD and MIGUEL GOMES!!!!!

After seeing this video analysis in its entirety, i have but one thing to say... Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight Gonna grab some afternoon delight My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right' Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night? When everything's a little clearer in the light of day And we know the night is always gonna be there any way Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Started out this morning feeling so polite I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling A little afternoon delight Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite Looking forward to a little afternoon delight Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting Sky rockets in flight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight Afternoon delight!

I find it fascinating that Adam McKay has a trilogy of modern USA and people who seem to like Big Short and/or Vice really get irked by Don't Look Up. And it's kinda funny to me and hard to ignore that Big Short was aimed at Wall Street, Vice was aimed at the government and Don't Look Up is aimed at the people. So Big Short and Vice were fun and good, but as soon as you make fun of the people... all of a sudden it becomes preachy... Don't Look Up is a satire. It's not supposed to be funny, it's supposed to be creepy and scary in a goofy over-the-top way. Like Idiocracy or American Psycho or The Death of Stalin...

Sure he may have always had some political elements in it but it was a lot more subtle and less propagandize. Plus you don't change or enlighten people by preaching to them. You open their eyes through the use of good storytelling and inserting subtle ideas. Nobody likes being preached at

Yeah McKay has gone down a weird road. He did so many Great comedy movies together. Now he is off on this political satire thing, Big Short was great but that's about it.

The McKay politics have always been super obvious, and it blows my mind that people don't acknowledge it. He's always portrayed anything masculine and right wing as idiotic. The only reason it worked is because he had Ferrell in it, turning that commentary into something lovably unhinged. As long as it's funny, people tolerated it. Movies have always had this stuff going on. They are always political. It's why artists get into film, because they want to get a point of view out there. But they can't control how the material is watched, especially when people don't have the same worldview as the creator or don't trust them as authorities on their chosen topic. When it comes to the masculinity issues, guys in the 2000's just took all the negatives and turned them into celebrations, which McKay allowed through that tone. Happens all the time, and that's why the messaging became more explicit in the last ten years or so, and so much more annoying. The creators don't want to be ignored and just used for entertainment, so they don't leave any subjective space for it. McKay is a prime example of it. Dude takes himself too seriously, especially for a comic writer.

I don’t think Don’t Look Up was supposed to make you laugh, I think it was supposed you reflect on how fucked up things are

Timothee Chalamet is my very favourite Wonka of all time ❤❤❤❤❤

If the filming had happened a little earlier (pre-covid) I have no doubt that the movie would be a lot better.

When I watched DLU I decided to shut off the political part of my brain completely so I wouldn't get overcritical. I found it to be an excellent comedy thriller that kept it on the edge of my seat from the first to the last minute. Except for the very last scene reverting to plain comedy after a perfect dramatic conclusion - I'll admit that was a little jarring.

Weird to kick off the video making it sound like you were somehow unique for watching comedies, like yeah dude you were so different from other kids because you liked will ferrel movies lol am I even gonna finish the vid probably but God

I'm so glad you characterized "Don't Look Up" as a mess. I feel the exact same way. One of the film's critiques is how Americans are so obsessed with celebrities and celebrity gossip, yet ironically, most of the people who I know who like this movie compliment the all-star cast in it. That's just one of the problems I have with that movie.

It's insane to think that in the 2000s we had Superbad (my personal favorite of this era), The Anchorman, Pick of Destiny, Talladega Nights, Scott Pilgrim, 40 year-old virgin, American wedding, Bruce Almighty, Pineapple Express, Easy A, 21 Jump Street (these two might be a little into 2010s, but still) and I could go on and on forever, whereas today everyone is preoccupied with either well established IPs or politics for the sane of politics. And what's even more insane is the level of creativity and/or absurdity of these movies, but somehow they all worked really well. I really like social commentary and satire, but come on man, Idiocracy did it in 2006 without being patronizing or trying to shoehorn everything in our throats. P.S. To be honest, I really liked The big short and I liked Don't look up.

I'll take the Big Short and Vice over literally any movie with Will Ferrrell in it

You are right i did miss the political messages the first time i saw them.

This video didn't need to exist.

My favorite Adam McKay and Will Ferrell movie probably is Step Brothers!! Absolutely fun and hilarious!

Nice video, dude! First time watching you. Subscribed now!

McKay has a solid flick or two that make you overestimate his career. Generally, his movies just aren't funny.

SNL. Highlights being the teleprompter down sketch seen early in this vid and one with Harvey Keitel as a door to door salesman who first turns down anything to drink only to change his mind and ask for a turkey sandwich and a Hi-C. My favorite part of his career might be how it seemed SNL had been re-crafted in style and structure and thereby rejuvenated. I'd swear the commercial break schedule was altered to allow for some of the transitions, but that could be my imagination.

Big Short is good but ever since he no good

Good breakdown. I think a McKay Farrell movie in 2024 would detract from their previous movies, like if they tried a new BTTF movie. Just be glad with the magic you had and leave it be.

A video about the 2000s comedy eras love of Bradley Cooper built his career would be cool. Also, you’ve only got a few months to make a video about how Todd Philips’ 2000s comedies inform the Joker. Get them views.

Keep going!!!! Subscribed

My favorite Adam McKay is definitely Step Brothers, but 2000s comedies are huge to me so idk if I can pick a fav of all time

Don’t look up and big short are both great. People just don’t like don’t look up because it reminds them too much of themselves.

BECAUSE THOSE MOVIES WERE FUN. THE NEW MOVIES ARE TOO PREACHY AND NOT SUBTLE AT ALL. NOBODY LIKES TO BE PREACHED TO. FEED THEM YOUR PROPAGANDA AND MESSAGE EASILY, DON'T FORCE IT.

Woah man your channel is gonna fly soon don't worry this is a great video

Just found u & was shocked how few subs u have ! U must be new ? Great channel , u are gonna be huge ! Great topic , presentation , audio ….. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 And Just the right amount of F~bombs !

Gotta put Wedding Crashers up there too. Great video JGIV

I miss 2000s comedies a ton, but maybe its fine that they died off. What was everyone's favorite 2000s comedy? Mine is probably Step Brothers, but Superbad is definitely up there as well.

Greta Gerwing? For real?

Great list! Rather amusingly, my three favourite directors are James Cameron, John Carpenter and Sam Raimi, and none of them made the list! If you do a second part, definitely include those three! 😊

Excuse me, where are the Coens and PTA?! The next Dicaprio film is probably a PTA one.

Animation is not a GENRE, its a medium.

IT IS EASY to keep up with movies. Don't wach or look too ANYTHING made after 2010 and very Little made after 2002. You want to make a Good movie look to the 1900's Cause they had the best movies FILMS and Cinema. The CRAP made these days isn't fit to be scraped off a dead man's shoe before he crosses the river.

No Kubrick, no Hitchcock, no Ford, no Capra, no Murnau 😞 But I guess they're all dead.

I just watch Asian films to be guaranteed to be impressed

What is the song you play when introducing Sofia Coppola?

Great video man, was kinda shocked when I seen you don’t even have a 100 subscribers! Good things are coming with this quality of content. I’m not really at all a beginner to film, but was just curious on what you had to say haha

Where’s the love for all the old school directors? Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Chaplin, Sidney Lumet, Billy Wilder. Those are some of the directors people should be watching if they’re serious on getting into great movies, man.

I would love to see a sequel to the video.

Great list! If there would have been an action section or smth David Leitch should be there. Have you checked out Paolo Sorrentino? U might like his movies.

that was an amazing video you should do a part 2 tbh
