Elvis looks like he's training to become one of those strippers that dress like cops and come to people's houses for bachelorette parties

I support this.

I love it, 85% of the comments are about the "moustache", and not the movie itself. Which, when you actually stop and think about it, just further proves Elvis's theory that the film is nothing but a fever dream, that exists solely in his mind.
But if we're seeing it in the video as he's talking about it, does that mean we're just a part of his imagination?
What movie? This isn't a video about his moustache?
Movie?
Where am I?
What movie? This is a Moustache Review, my dude...
Bliss is like one of those movies that gets recapped by an Text-To-Speech voice on one of those TH-cam channels that recaps bad movies and makes them sound like good ideas
I like those channels
But from time to time they actually have some good movies that i never would have heard of wouldnt it be from that Channels 🤔😅
It's so funny to me how it's a major plot point that he "murdered" his boss by standing up so angrily he was somehow launched through the air, and then leaves him in a window
😅🤣right?
Duh it was the magic crystal strength aka winnebago blue stuff powers
That was hilarious, especially the WAY he stood up 😂😂😂
For real, if he was acting rationally he could have easily just been like “all I did was stand up and I guess he stumbled backwards and hit his head” and he probably wouldn’t have been charged with anything lol
@@BlazeMakesGames yeah.... they wouldn't believe him
This script sounds like they wrote it using the firepit method. You know, when one person starts telling a story and then passes it to the next person at the firepit and it goes around until the booze and smoke is gone...
Firepit stories actually make more sense than all of this, at least they are entertaining, and they also help with killing time with your friends instead of being bored and alone
Sounds interesting...
Someone should record those!
XD
@@plague_doctor0237 Excerpt from the last firepit story I participated in: " The blood rushing from his horrible chest wound to his boner saves him from exsanguination, buying him time to tend to his wound. "
@@Khornecussion Damn, this is cursed
That’s the best way to sum it up lmao
this sounds like it should have been named "The Methtricks"
Underrated comment!
Or The Mehtrix
Brilliant
Is meth really that strong?
@@dustinmaxwell259 You have to binge and stay up for several days. When the psychosis sets in you get pretty much this movie. Or so I’ve been told.
I interpreted it as him being on the verge of a breakdown before getting fired. Upon getting fired had a mental break. Turned to drugs to self medicate his metal illness. Then became homeless, and completely dependant on his illness and drug use. He then gradually began to see reality, because of the love for his daughter, causing him to seek help.
Or it's a movie about the power of belief and simulation theory
Basically the synopsis of the film. Absolutely nothing to do with a matrix imitation 🤦🏻♂️😂 these clickbait “film” channels are ripe
@@youngonestudio it’s subjective, so it’s kind of childish to act pretentious like it’s the only correct observation lol. Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one
@@litneyloxan will say the exact same thing about the entire video
@@youngonestudio no, your just trying to justify to be a pretentious pompous
How did he murder his boss, seriously? He just go up, the dude threw himself back and hit his head. The flow of air made by his standing up killed the guy? Not a murderer.
Airbender
He never killed his boss. He never dropped all those people at the skate rink. Isabel is not real. These were all his hallucinations him imagining doing those things.
Did you even watch the movie? His boss never died moron
Literally, all he had to do was call the cops and explain what happened. Forensics would be able to tell that he never touched the guy and it would be deemed third degree manslaughter at worst
@@jordanloux3883 Ahhh yes. Because the police are known for their objectivity. lol Good thinking.
Note to all: You don't have to assist the police with their investigation (in the US, anyway). You are always better to keep your mouth shut because, just as they tell you, they literally can and will use everything they can against you. The police are not your friends. Stay silent. Stay smart.

I'll be honest, I don't think anyone's even heard or seen trailers of this film before watching this video
I bet you're jealous of Mr Aliens mustache
i watched it and was so confused and never figured out what was going on.
I have come to firmly believe you to be a necessary and omnipresent brute fact of the universe, something akin to a logical axiom. Your existence is everywhere and nowhere, to the borders of the infinities and beyond. Anyway, yeah, I see you a lot.
I watched it as soon as it was released. I'm a fan of Mike Cahill, not always for the final product, but for the creativity & uniqueness in his concepts. Unfortunately, this movie was bad. _Really_ bad. I just couldn't get passed the badly written script that has more holes than swiss cheese.
@@antolimakrov5925 oh fuck's sake, someone already did it
The plot sounds like it was written on crystals
🤣
Spiritual crystals 🔮 😉
The part where the MC starts injuring others without a care and slowly losing their morality because they know they're in a simulation and through the manipulation of another person could be a great movie premise. Like at first they could be reluctant but the other person convinces them that they're in simulation so they build up to worse and worse crimes all under the guise that "it's a simulation so it doesn't matter" but then there could be some twist where it really kills them irl or that they weren't in a simulation the whole time and that the person was just lying to them.
Kinda similar plot to a Rick and Morty episode
Kinda how Gwen Poole starts lol
That stupid conversation of "I want you to come" and "does she want me to come" with editting had me rolling for no good reason
I don't get it, it was so random x_x!
Honestly thought I was the only one
@@Yukinoomoni The editing is a reference to the cyberpunk 2077 memes that were coming out when the trailer was revealed.
@@Blank_Immortal Bless you
I thought it's like she's talking that she wants him to come, but there's another woman and he's asking about her. Like mom and daughter. You know, he's talking to the girl and ask about his wife, he currently have problematic relationship with (BTW never do this with non-adult kids, deal with parents problem yourself, among parents, children as couriers aren't necessary for that).

"Gets sexual"
One part of the movie that shows its a simulated world or just Greg's mind on drugs is the scene starting at 8:38. When they stop walking, Isabel turns around to tell Greg "Let the witnesses do the talking" as a fire truck passes by them. At that moment, the camera switches back and if you look between the characters, at the red wall across the street next to the car, you'll see a woman with a bag, white shirt, blue pants and blonde hair walking pass the car when, out of no where, 2-3 more copies of the same exact woman just literally spawn out of thin air and walk behind her. It could've been intentional or an editing mistake, but it definitely tripped me out.
I love how "future tech" is a C-PAP nose pillow.

This movie really had potential, it could’ve been matrix mixed with requiem for a dream. If it had a darker town and scarier when he realized he was just on drugs.
This movie was actually a pretty close representation of what my brother went through and is still going through. he believed in this other world so much but the other world had so many 'plot holes' but when ur high it doesnt matter. he lived in that world for years and in some ways hes still there. He also believed drugs allowed him to travel through 'portals'
Sounds like your brother doesn't have a drug problem but a schizophrenia problem.
You should try them some time. Better to like in a world where you can say you've lived than to live in a world filled with ignorance.

I know most people have talked about Elvis' new mustache, but all I can think of looking at it is that he looks like a younger, less depressed version of the cop dad from the Twilight movies.

This video has been out for two years, and finding it right now is the first I've heard of this movie. I have been subscribed to this channel for years, even. Somehow this movie's reviews are even slipping by.
Speaking as a person who has had first hand experience with drug addicts (my mother when I was a child, and my daughter who died of a drug overdose a few months ago), I can say that this movie is definitely about drug addiction. Addicts are often mentally ill, delusions and paranoia are common.
sorry for your daughter, I hope you feel better now
My spouse of 12 years passed from OD in February 😢, I can empathize.
I'm sorry for your loss.
As someone who is a drug I can confirm this movie is about getting addicted to me
The mustache represents how absolutely disgusting yet beautiful this channel is. Like a train wreck, you just cant stop looking at it.
I don’t see how this channel is absolutely disgusting, I only see it as beautiful

This film's plot is based off from The Imagicon by George Henry Smith.
Ever read Flowers for Algernon - then see the film based off from it called Charly? That's what this film appears to be.
My biggest disappointment in this movie was that they hinted that there could be recursive simulations going on, potentially with different people being "real" at different levels, but then went nowhere with it. To name a few of the red herrings, there was the "turtles all the way down" bit, Greg's daughter's lines in the "future" world that suggest some degree of awareness of the simulation, and Isabel's reference to issues "one level up" right before she shoots her colleague for crystals. If they'd played around with the recursive simulation concept a bit more, the movie might have actually made sense.
2:50 it's called the "Last Thursday" hypothesis; the proposition that existence came to be last Thursday and our memories of experiencing the past are just part of normal structure of our reality.
Like how in dreams things seem and feel totally normal and logical, and we can even recollect memories in the dream that feel real and part of the dream world.
Similarly, it has been argued that once we achieve technology that allows us to slip someone in a constructed reality (i. e. build their dream world) we actually would also have the capacity to generate memories in someone's mind.

@@iwilldefeateveryone2940 why did you steal my comment out of my head before I even made it... 😔 Lol
The way the futuristic simulation equipment is just a nasal cpap mask lmao
How did Elvis miss the fact that she ACTUALLY said "Five Hundred Thousand K a year" I mean 500k a year is nothing to sneeze at but 500,000,000 is half a billion dollars a year, I mean even if everyone got 500k a year base that's going to cause an insane amount of inflation but 500 million dollars a year for everyone must mean that the dollar has pretty much no value.
yes and no. if everyone has that money and just every item is at a certain pricetag it just it what it is. it depends on how you consume you cant make more value if everythings produced automatically and you need to mine more asteroids to add value.
Elvis looks like Ron Swanson if he was portrayed in a low budget musical adaption of parks and rec

The boss who died literally had like 2HP lmao
"Doctor, did you examined that body we sent in the morning?"
"Yeah. Cause of death was gust of wind caused by somebody standing up fast like half meter from him collapsing him and causing him to hit table."
"Really? Other guy didn't try to help?"
"No chance, somehow this killed him instantly."
"Is it even possible?"
"From what I've learnt no, but from what I see yes."
Looks like a chestbump lol
Bro cost 2 elixir
The boss never died smh y’all dumb at
@@vincevvn okay, do you really think I care a year later, get a life son
This could've been explained by simply adding to the story that they are in testing phases and it "might" cause Memory loss inside the simulation (or a totally optional to live a diff life inside and will regain their Knowledge of the old world once you leave)
The appearance of Bill Nye alone makes this worth passing over.
Also, there was this one Black Mirror Episode, "San Junipero", with basically the exact same idea of being able to enter a simulation through a device and also leaving it again. But the episode was much better, for sure.
Better story, the main couple actually had chemistry, the characters had believable motivations for doing what they did, the simulation had a reasonable reason for existing and consistent rules, the future outside the simulation was futuristic without being pie-in-the-sky fantastical, it didn't weigh itself down in unnecessary details about how the simulation worked or came to be, et cetera...
There's a reason why "San Junipero" has the cult following that it does, independent of the larger following for Black Mirror. Considered on its own it's just a brilliant piece of filmmaking and science fiction storytelling. It debuted back in 2016 and people are still talking about it. Bliss debuted this year and nobody knows it exists.
Such a good episode omg
That is such a beautiful episode! For another take on simulations is Amazon Prime's newer comedy Upload. In it you can have yourself uploaded into a "heaven" that your relatives have to pay for (or if you were rich, you pre-f56sue6ussu477bought.) The richer you are, the better eternal life you'll have. You can even chat with friends & family in the real world. But it's not as great as it seems at first & lots of problems soon arise e.
It's a pretty good watch for a random Amazon pick.
I just can't get past how you knock somebody 6 feet backwards completely off of their feet and kill them from...standing up fast. It was like he got shot...with a cannon.

I'd love it if you did a video on The Signal (2014) It's a movie that I always want to be deeper than it is when I'm watching it.
I like the idea that Elvis just manifested a movie in his his mind and it became a real, crappy movie
I thought the reason why Greg kept listening to Isabel without question was because in the end they were going to reveal he was also a fake person under the influence of her "powers," but unfortunately the psychological thriller of someone coming to grips with the fact that their life is naught but code was below this movie, I guess.
Yea, Elvis gave some dumb points in his criticism. Asteroid mining is actually forecasted to be a trillion dollar industry and its a gateway for keeping earth as a pollution free sanctuary. Also, scientists love quirky acronyms, Very Large Telescope and WIMPs for example. This and other points he brought up were kind of unfair imo
@@saritha55 there's still a shitload of resources left to be mined on Earth, and we're not living in some utopia where everyone can just smoke weed all day. Why would asteroid mining change that?
@@Thematic2177 In the movie Earth looks like a holiday resort, mining produces pollution. Do you actually have an idea of the economic potential for asteroid mining? There's a single asteroid in the asteroid belt that could crash the platinum market immediately.

I honestly think a simulation movie like this based on drug addiction could be a really interesting and meaningful story. I really hope this premise is picked up again by a better filmmaker.
Only if they understand the nuance of drug addiction habits being the bad part. I've met a ton of people who use and know they are not physically healthy because of it. I also know that those same people understand the habits of addiction are what people dislike and get disgusted by. For example say you are addicted to heroin and you work a high paying job that lets you afford as much as you want so you never resort to stealing or mugging. No one would know or care. However let's say you are addicted to shaking hands and it's so bad that you literally insist on shaking hands with people when it makes no sense and makes them incredibly uncomfortable. You even accost some people to shake their hands. People will notice this and think accordingly.
I’m currently in active addiction, I am addicted to heroin (and opiates in general), benzos like Xanax and cocaine and speaking as an addict, I would love love a simulation film that deals with addiction but it really would have to be done well and have input from people who have experienced addiction because it is such a personally impacting experience that I needs to be done right. But I really think it could be a cool and unique way to touch on those themes, when done right, simulation films are some of my favorite sci-fi stories. But yea this particular movie was really not it 😂😂.
"A Scanner Darkly" starring Keanu Reeves is a little like that
Funny you say that! I've been slowly writing a story/ building a cinematic universe since I was like 15 and this movie is if someone took my idea and totally butchered it in ever way...
My idea is waaayyy deeper and the addiction of the simulation is more based on a video game addiction. and being sucked into other worlds. but there is also background lessons about drugs and addiction of all kinds, but its really about a super hero more then its about this kind of stuff and ya, and its a HUGE story I'm not gonna get into right here... but just know... its a thing that will exist. lol.
I might even just animate it all myself! Totally possible cause technology is nuts, it will just take forever! cause also its a 5 part mini series not a movie so...
He actually is really good. I haven't seen this so I'll take Elvis' word for it that it's a stinker. 2-1 isn't a bad start. He was an indy guy and this was likely his first bigger budget film with well known actors. My guess would be he had a lot of good ideas but that bigger budget doesn't go as far as people think. Perhaps it was purchased and edited all to hell. I don't know. I would highly recommend his other two films though.
They should have just gone with the Jacob's Ladder ending and had him dying from a drug overdose and the two realities are just a symptom of the drugs and his brain shutting down.
Like the ending of Waking Life
Is that what happened in Jacob's ladder? Damn son
Thats pretty lame. Nothing meant anything
She actually says 500,00K$, which is half a billion
Actually, people using a "bad time simulator" so that they appreciate their utopian present is, at the very least, an idea with a lot of potential
To be fair, if Salma Hayek offered me drugs and told me to go home with her I don’t think I’d ask questions either

Absolutely. I don't think he knows who she is though. Also I don't think Elvis knows how a tab works.

That whole "appreciate the good because of the bad" sentiment was used in the Matrix, too. So this movie basically stole everything. It's mentioned briefly in the first movie, when Neo asks Smith why the robots were so cruel that they created such an imperfect simulation, where people suffer and feel pain and cry. Smith responded by saying the robots actually developed several simulations where every single human was pampered and treated like a god; the perfect life, but the majority of humanity rejected the program because they couldn't mentally fathom such a paradise and felt like something was off.
Loved that commentary on humanity reflected in Smith's answer
And you Trust what Smith said?
@@yakiralovesall
I do think it's easier for humans to imagine a dystopia than a utopia.
What always bugs me about that explanation is that, yeah, the first humans would know something was off, but each generation born after would surely adjust and think it's normal! I mean we have super entitled spoiled people, who are not happy all the time, but still do very good. And we have people who suffer horrible abuse from childhood, and who see it as normal, because they have to cope to survive.
So, why not just have that first batch of humans be weirded out, but make eveyone else think that 'The time I couldn't find the perfect tablecloth for dinner was the worst day of my life!'?
Instead of having thousands on the other hand going...
*trigger warning*
'That time daddy went straight to bed with mommy instead of with me was a great day.' ? You can't bullshit me into saying 'we as a species need that to function!'
Really? This movie stole basic philosophy concepts from the matrix? Read a fucking book
The way you noticed and repeatedly reference the fact that Owen Wilson says WOW was so funny!
I remember watching this because I done a binge of Salma Hayek movies. It’s like a film about that Rick and Morty simulation inside of a simulation skit
That mustache is absolutely glorious, and anyone who tells you otherwise is objectively wrong.

Seriously, the moustache is not that offensive
The way this movie depicted addiction (to drugs and people) really messed up with me when I watched it. Loosing grip on reality and having your mind tampered with by a person feeding and intensifying your addiction, who also make you feel like you owe them and cannot do anything without them, is a horrible experience. I genuinely don’t think this movie is for anyone, but it really did it for me.
I love the way the movie begins making parallels with the things in the beginning as his mind breaks further because it has become so isolated in the illusion that the last few outside stimuli are constructing the hallucinations. If you see the movie through the addiction perspective it’s so heartbreaking. It’s not hard to imagine a mind highly influenced by media now could hallucinate technology like this when their minds are under the effects of something.
I don’t think the movie ever tried to hide the truth of what’s happening, it’s the story of an addict from scene 1. He won’t go when called because he needs to call and get the pills but can’t refill them anymore. He had only 5 refills which means it’s a highly addictive drug which explains how he was easily introduced to the crystals. He doesn’t take the pill, he inhales it as we get a close up to a window where we see a rehab clinic as foreshadowing. The wallet glitches on his desk as he leaves because his mind is beginning to slip after the drug took effect, for the same reason he imagined he killed his boss after being fired but probably didn’t. After that he quickly looses himself fueled by the drugs and the insistent influence of Isabelle. I don’t think this movie is meant to be more coherent, or more nuanced on what’s happening or which is the real world. To me, they were showing a creative take on a mind breaking due to drug use within a world where sci-fi plays such a big part of many peoples lives. I think the problem is that it’s too true but it might take having gone through stuff like that to truly feel the despair of what really is happening to him and he won’t even see. I saw myself in Greg, and it was terrifying and painful and sad because it reminded me of some stuff.

I actually dont think this is a flaw of the movie, My ex-parent fell into drugs horribly and whenever i talked to him when he was on them, he would talk to me like im an stranger and look and feel very dissociated
Once they are off the drug is when they realize what they did, the movie kinda got this Dissociated feeling right
Bliss: The future is a perfect utopia
Also Bliss: Main female lead is a murderous sociopath, who gets joy from hurting old people and built a box of brains stitched together.

"Every single person here gets a base of $500,000k a year."
So everyone gets five hundred million dollars a year? Okay then.
The movie is about addiction and mental health.
Me: mom can we buy the matrix
Mom: We have the matrix at home
Me and my boyfriend were so confused after this movie, I honestly have no idea what they were going for lmaoo. What pissed me off the most is that he didn't instantly recognize her as the woman he's been drawing, Selma Hayek has a very distinct face he would've realized he had been drawing this crazy woman.
Exactly. She's as manifestation when he got super high the first time around (before we join him in the movie) , so when he starts to get high again.. his addiction (her) starts manifesting more and more.
That's why at the beginning they didn't recognize each other, because it didn't spiral all that hard yet.
@Bobby Gaffin I've been high on a lot of things & you don't forget things that happened to your sober self or other times you've gotten high. That's not how drugs work.
@@__-fk4jz why are you inserting your own experience as a baseline? You forget to include that the character has a mental breakdown at the start of the movie as well as not believing his daughter's existence.
The director Is literally laying the bread crumbs for the viewer to understand what's going on.. the guy made up killing his boss, build a shelter, created a being out of his own addition..
Even more distinctive OTHER bits...
@@__-fk4jz so you have taken every single drug ever? How would you know that? You wouldn’t know if you have already forgotten
"sell his Phone, lost his wallet and took drugs from a complete stranger 10 minutes ago" that sounds familiar
Lol sounds like Tuesday
Haha I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's been there. 😅😂
"I can do this all day."
@Toby Peterkin Ugh, been there. I do not miss those days.
Oh yeah...
I remember this movie. It was on some streaming service but I forgot about it until you started talking about it.
"When I saw a trailer for Bliss" that's the mistake you made before watching.
It's not a bad premise. A false reality told to us through an unreliable narrator. Especially how we are fully invested until the shot of a distraught protagonist in a run-down neighborhood, seemingly indifferent to his daughter. It's just horribly executed.
Birdman is a good movie for that, it's also got the best cinematography of any movie. Check it out if you haven't
If you enjoy anime, try Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (or "When they cry" in English). I have not yet seen the remake, but the 2006 one is wild.
If you are looking for just a movie length experience I recommend "Perfect Blue". It allegedly was the inspiration behind Black Swan and is one of my favorite animated movies.
oh almost forgot: Madoka Magica Rebellion might be one of the best "fake reality" plots I know, but its hard recommending it in this context, as one would have to watch an entire show before (which is excellent so go for it)
Shutter Island goes a very similar way, watched it for a school task though, so I can't exactly say it was great. But it was pretty well done, and it's got some real good actors, plus great cinematography. It's about a mental institution, can't say more without spoiling it
Definitely.
As mentioned in this thread, Satoshi Kon is a fantastic director who made Paprika and Perfect Blue, two insanely well written and executed films
"This guy gave everyone $500k a year"
"Well that would explain why the can of Coke I just bought cost $20"
It would have made more sense if the writers just said that asteroid mining had brought about a post-scarcity society and that there no longer was a form of currency, that whatever one wanted within reason they just got, a la Star Trek.
@@RobertMorgan i this is what they tried to do but they just suck at it
@@RobertMorgan luxury gay space communism
@@the_chosen_one5642 It's most probably because any attempt to realistically depict a post-scarcity society would've appeared just as ridiculous. And that's exactly what they did.
No no. It’s 500 000k😂 god even the scripting accuracy was bad
"Free guy" is easily better than any similar simulation movie, where an NPC realizes, that he exists in a GTA-like game, to fix the game in favor of his developer.
So, from the beginning, you’re missing a big part of the point.
…people on drugs that are “functional” with their addiction are still floating between escaping reality and living in reality. This is the beginning stage before an addiction consumes how you frame reality.
Him getting fired was very real. The pictures he’s drawing at work is a metaphor for where his mind is at, which is chasing this alternate world he can live in while “using”. He’s dreaming of his high.
That situation is metaphor to how addiction begins to become apparent in your productivity at work and thereby reducing your usefulness to society.
His family is the real world, and the rest of the movie is mostly spent trying to chase highs to avoid his responsibilities. And during that time, addicts do go deep enough into their addiction to live and thing delusionally until their fake work becomes just as terrifying to them as the real world. This is drug induced psychosis… the “real world” is his most grand delusion from the highest of highs. And of course his behavior makes zero sense because his anxiety while sober is taking the wheel. The brain is only focused on its next fix.. all other reasoning is secondary yo that. The woman represents him defending his addiction and finding a community in it so he can avoid feeling shame. Addicts want to feel their addiction is okay because it offers them a blanket to be cloaked in. All the delusions of powers are possible references to schizophrenia.
I’m sharing this because if you’ve seen the addiction cycle,the metaphor is much easier to recognize.
It took me 5 minutes to realise that I had actually watched this movie when it came out. It had left no impression on me. I wouldn't be surprised if I forget all about again as soon as I'm finished watching this review.
Perhaps the amnesia is due to you being in a brain machine reality.
ok it's been a year since your comment. do you remember this movie now?
Literally watched this 6 months ago and i am seeing the review today. It took me 5 mins to realize it was a movie i had seen lmao.
"When you order the matrix from wish" killed me
This reminds me of a bargain bin version of the San Junipero episode of Black Mirror
Less than 2 mins in I’m laughing hard. You got yourself a new sub
I just thought of something, when Isabelle met Greg she mentioned her boyfriend was real, but then said in the real world that Greg is her husband? He said nothing about that XD Haha
Lol 😂
@@tygerinthenight3255 🤣🤣
Tru
The real world is Greg being high. And Isabel is a manifestation of his addiction...

No shit Sherlock!
Pretty sure Bill Nye was one of the TV reporters announcing the boss's death at the beginning
Well they paid for 2 scenes. Couldn’t afford a third.
It was another channel, some kind of protest against pollution
The movie 'I,Origins' has always stuck with me. It's deeply sad and has such a good ending. 😢
The mustache is a metaphor for the choices made during production of the movie.
Thank you for pointing out that everyone getting $500K wouldn't make everyone rich, but would instead just massively devalue the dollar to the point where $500K is equal to $0, thus demonstrating a basic high school level understanding of economics. It's something sadly uncommon these days.
It's the same as when people think "erasing the world's debt" is a good idea. It sounds good in concept to people who don't understand how money works, but an actual hellscape to anyone who has gone down the rabbit hole.

Oh. I didn't watch the whole thing. Lol
This is awesome. Thanks for replying.
Apparently Slavoj Zizek is also in it...
Haha I was wondering why?
Your impression around 1:15 was actually great
