MUSIC!! "U Make Me Feel" by MK2
Lmao loved when Alice was calling for Greg and they tried to cover her mouth and she was like “you’re silencing me!”🤣
that was one of Rachel Senott's many ad libs throughout this movie 😭😩
Alice was definitely my favorite character in the film
23 here, and I feel like the movie was more so critical of privileged rich kids in a Gen Z setting, rather than targeting Gen Z as a whole. Felt similar to how Heathers did that for the 80s or Clueless in the 90s (albeit having much more likable characters)
22 and same. I feel like the rich aspect is what helps heighten it to a tasteful caricature.
AS a gen z the ALLY joke hit so well and the the 'silencing' and 'triggering' jokes were so spot on to my friends arguments
I totally agree! During one of my media classes a fellow student claimed that queerbaiting was equivalent to gaslighting. This movie is spot on.
Yesss
same with the body dysmorphia joke
@@haydenclaborn9584 isn’t it worse?
@@cinder7258 not to feed into the stereotype, but id say gaslighting is worse because it genuinely hurts the people its used on, making them question themselves and their sanity. queerbating is just a shitty ploy to garner attention from a demographic without actually giving them representation.
the body dysmorphia line has to be my favourite line in the movie
love your pfp, it just has that X factor
Another great part of Alice's character is her saying multiple times when they find people's bodies is her insistence not to move them, because it's evidence. (Because of COURSE she's into true crime.) As someone into true crime and has also had that reaction baked into my head, it's hilarious to see that part of me in Alice's character, and simultaneously realize how detached that response is in those moments.
Hi Dead Meat. Former Floridian of over 30 years. I just wanted to comment about the concept of hurricane parties. While i agree it's privileged to be financially well off to never worry about damage of hurricanes, it's a mixed bag of reasons as to why you would have a hurricane party.
A very common safety measure that you take during hurricane season is Safety in Numbers. Usually in advance, communities, neighbors, friends formulate a plan to meet at one place to ride out the storm. A common strategy is to pool resources such one family brings flashlights and batteries, another brings packs of water, maybe somone brings their generator etc etc.
When a hurricane makes landfall, it usually loses a lot of its strength. I was fortunate enough to live in Central Florida most of my life, so by the time the storm hit us it was usually just an extra windy storm with heavy rain. Work is usually cancelled for 1-3 days before and after the storm hits and power companies are usually pretty quick to restore power.
A lot of my experience with hurricanes usually boiled down to getting work cancelled, heading to a friend's or family's house after protecting our own home, playing video games and eating snacks until the power goes out, and then returning home after 2-3 days. The movie kind of makes light of what is usually people making the best of a potentially dangerous situation.
However, there's definitely a non-zero amount of people who actually make it a PARTY party which is absolutely privileged (and irresponsible).
Thanks to you and all the other comments about how common hurricane parties are - we have never lived in a hurricane area so we were wrong about our assumptions!
@@DeadMeat That's my husband's comment! Just wanna say you two are the best and we love y'all :)
"Maybe if you took your eyes off my cleavage you could of enjoyed the film"
Devastating. Iconic.
Where is that, I want to hear that 😂
@@tazdivil6527 It’s a screenshot shown in the video. Time stamp: 16:18
SO MANY films are condescending when it comes to Gen Z and “youth humor”, and I felt like this film was the only one that I’ve seen that felt semi-authentic and funny!
Yeah, it seems like it was written by actual Gen Z-ers, with a genuine empathy shown to these characters who are severely lacking in morals
Edit: I don’t know if it’s empathy but the movie looks at these characters as real people. While they are outlandish, it doesn’t feel like parody.
I know right
Absolutely. So many jokes about Gen Z are written by boomers with no actual grasp on how Gen Z realistically act. This felt so much more genuine and accurate
Indeed
@@bubble.mp4 I thought it was supposed to be parody, some gen z actually act like that in real life? That's worse tbh
Greg wearing the therapeutic light mask for Seasonal Depression as a reference to Silence of the Lambs is so fucking funny.
I think everyone moved on from this to Barbarian is just kind of due to the fact that we had, what, five or six major horror and thriller releases in less than the span of a month and a half. Great time to be a horror fan!
Exactly. This and Nope were like a week from each other, right? I know there were probably way more, but these 2 were the major ones I saw lots of ads for.
@@p0laris74yt8
Pretty much. There was this, Nope, Fall, Beast, Barbarian, The Invitation, AND we have Smile closing out the month! My poor wallet is going to hate me
Pearl comes out soon too
Barbarian is also one of those rare horror movies that comes along and seems to suck all the oxygen out of the conversation of other movies. And when you see it you completely understand why it was able to do that. Because H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T it's amazing. One of those movies where i'd call bullshit on anyone that claimed they knew where it was going. It's completely unpredictable.
And whoever cut the trailer needs to cut more horror trailers. Because it gives absolutely nothing away while still making the movie look very interesting.
2022 was such a Good year for horror
"Gen Z, super gay" is both an incredible and true statement I love it so much /gen
As a millennial watching this with my gen z cousin, we both cracked up when we heard this on the podcast.
Also she said if this movie is not referenced in the future as "capturing gen z'ers" the way Scream "captured the gen x'ers" for the 90's, then there is no justice in the world.
@@loki1456 honestly I would even mind sequels to this movie (maybe an anthology franchise) about gen z shenanigans that may or may not lead to murder (or more of what this movie did) cause I had a blast
The ending of this film can be described with one word..."Bruh..."
Yes. The whole movie is because Pete wanted to be a copycat 😂
In true Gen Z fashion and vernacular 🤣
Truly the bruh moment of all time
the way thats what my group exclaimed at the end lawl !
I’m watching this in class, Don’t have my headphones on me so I’m using subtitles. 💀 I love ‘ ten meat. ‘
Good ol ten meat, where would we be without them
Dude pay attention to class
Pay attention in class! The podcast will still be there when your done!
"Mom i have F-"
"How?"
"I was watching a dead meat podcast during class"
Pay attention in class
We were in the audience during opening weekend with a Q&A with the director and cast - apparently there was a scene with Lee Pace and Bee where they really get to know each other and bond over their mutual outsider-ness that was cut. That also makes the racquetball court scene even more sad.
Haven’t seen the movie yet and still really want to see that! That’s how well DeadMeat recaps movies
so that's why alice hated bee 😭
“He was chill and cool and now he’s dead” was also my feeling during the movie. Lee Pace has been iconic to me since Pushing Daisies
i went to a school with incredibly rich gen-z kids and it felt like i was watching the same exact people in this movie which was HELLA surreal to me and my boyfriend when we watched it. i didn’t find it offensive, it felt like a social commentary and it made a lot of sense. i think some of the “gen z” commentary in movies feels out of touch and unrealistic and this one felt authentic, maybe a little exaggerated but in a way that worked really well and kind of encapsulated everything. i have never laughed harder at a horror movie
I actually think Alice is the MOST toxic friend, she's the white woman you can never trust because she's always playing to whoever's side she thinks will cause the least resistance and make her look like the good guy, she's the complete opposite of an ally 🤣 LOVED this movie, love you Dead Meat Team!
Why does it matter that she's white? Lol yes it was stupid for her to even say "I'm an ally" because Sophie blaming her addiction on racism was bullshit to begin with. 😂
This is exactly what I thought. She’s the friend that just fuels both sides but thinks she’s supporting her friends. Love her 🫶
One joke in this movie that I feel like nobody has talked about but is so smart and funny is when everyone’s talking about how Emma always cries during bodies bodies bodies and Alice accuses her of something along the lines of “always being the first one to ugly cry”. Later on, when shit gets real, Alice is the first girl to openly ugly cry.
I'm Gen Z myself and I found the generational satire utterly hysterical and spot-on to how some people around my age and a bit younger interact online. The twist had me in stitches; I had several theories by then but none were as funny as the actual reveal.
As a Floridian, “Hurricane Party” has a vastly different connotation depending on who says it. Growing up we used it in more of ironic sense. To me preparing for hurricane parties means boarding up windows, buying water and batteries for when the water and power goes out, and staying with friends or family for safety. I’ve never thought of a hurricane party as a privilege thing until this movie.
its a shame you didnt get to see it with a full crowd. i got to see it at SXSW for the world premiere and the theater was completely full and having a blast. so much energy and the cast was so fun. the director said that it was partially inspired by scream
Aww I'm so jealous. Sounds like great fun!!
17:20 i’m actually laughing so loud at james’ reaction 💀💀
That should become the Dead Meat version of that white guy blinking gif. It was incredible.
So the last two movies I watched have been “X“ and “bodies bodies bodies” and the juxtaposition between the character types is insane with this film they’re insufferable but in X they’re so wholesome and genuine. I say this here bc y’all pointed it out for me
Bodies is the first movie that I was able to predict the twist!!! Half way through I was like “wait a minute, what if THIS is what happened,” and then it was revealed that it was what happened. I was quite proud of myself.
Best feeling!!
I was expecting for Jordan to like randomly pull out the gun and shoot and kill one of them after she was revealed to be the killer in the game🤣
@@viwoski7454 Seriously, she was so suspicious the ENTIRE time.
@@viwoski7454 i was so sure that it was her the whole time PFFT
Props I can usually always guess the twist but this one caught me completely by surprise
As younger gen-z horror lover I ADORED this movie. I felt it was such a fun take on the (mostly true) stereotypes pushed onto kids my age. With every character I could just think, “Wow, i know someone exactly like that” or even “That’s so how I would react in this situation”. Amazing movie, definitely see myself coming back to this some time when I’m older and just cracking up.
One thing I noticed in this movie is all of the wealthy characters have iPhones and Bee has and Android phone. I just loved that little bit since having an iPhone is seen as a symbol of wealth.
As a zoomer, i really love how this film payed attention to our hang ups with communication and our collective narcissistic tendencies. Like, yeah, sometimes we really do be so focused on "the now" that we forget the best thing to do in situations like these is to step back and chill, like Greg!
I remember that day on twitter Chelsea is talking about. That writer was definitely the main character, which is something you usually never want to be.
A drinking game where you take a drink every time Chelsea and James say Lee Pace 😂
Just popping in with a little info. Hurricane Parties are not a rich people thing. I live in FL and my family is NOT rich. When I was younger, families would have hurricane parties in the most secure house on the block/in the area so all the kids and stuff would be safe together
The ending is ( for me) what made this movie work. If they didn't land the ending the movie wouldn't be grate. Same with Ready or Not the ending is so much fun. Also Bodies Bodies Bodies is like the episode of Twilight Zone The Monsters Are Do On Manie Street. Everyone is accusing everyone of being the killer. Loved this movie.
Exactly, I don't think I would've loved the movie a lot more than I did if the movie ended with it all being a prank or it was all a bad drug trip or something
Wasn't there also actual aliens in that episode?
@tjinman7037 Yes, but I was talking about the accusing of the episode, not the aliens
Bodies bodies bodies is pretty much the only movie I’ve ever seen depict gen z effectively
As a ‘94 millennial that saw Scream in theaters as a two year old, Scream really is so cozy to me. I can totally see this movie being Gen Z’s cozy horror movie like Scream was for us. I loved this movie, just got done watching it and finally came back to listen to your commentary!
A24 is knocking it out of the park this year!
And Pearl is coming out this weekend too.
Can't wait!😃
Good point about needing to know it’s comedic in nature! I took my friend to see Scream, and he thought it was supposed to be a played-straight slasher so he didn’t like it as much. He warmed to it after I explained it to him
Just like Skeet Ulrich!
I’m a U of M student right now (in flint) and I LOVE when you guys tell us who graduated from there. I get so excited like yeah! That’s my school! Go Blue!
Go Blue!
I have a feeling that Chelsea is here for all the mess and I love it 😩😅
I loved how the movies twist was that Keith David was a ghost all along!!
Love y’all and your podcast!
is this about the movie or a sixth sense reference?
It's always Keith David 😂😂
@@gabrielesimone1372 it’s an insane joke from the depths of my insane brain
Its actually a sequel to nope carrying on from Keith David's death in that movie.
@@venomase5572 that would be cool
This was the first piece of media that I've seen actually satirize Gen Z in a way that actually understands the actual problems among the youth.
I am more Greg's age. I have never disliked a group of people so much and thoroughly loved this movie. I work in an industry staffed by the younger generation and I saw many of my coworkers mannerisms portrayed on screen. To me it seemed to capture them perfectly without hating them.
So happy this came out during my 1 hour of screen time that my wife's boyfriend gives me! We love you James & Chelsea!
😂😂😂
Lucky, my wife's boyfried only gives me thirty minutes. I'll have to finish the rest tomorrow.
@@jakeburnette9943 its a podcast, listen on spotify
This movie was so enjoyable to me. I'm similar age to the girls, and I felt like the writing was self aware in a very funny and specific way- they knew the audience and demographic. In a biting and critical (deserved) way of seeing Gen Z...in a way I hope the upcoming Scream films aren't afraid to do.
the look James gives to the camera about 17 minutes in is gold 🤣
17:48
As a 25 year old that gets placed in both the millennial or gen z category depending on who you’re asking, I’d say the generational stuff was pretty solid! Over the top a bit at points, but of course it’s going to be exaggerated.
I definitely felt like the characters were realistic enough despite that, I absolutely partied with each of these characters at one point or another in college
Great catch with the “draw the X”. It wouldn’t even have occurred to me that it could have been misinterpreted!
My friend and I were the only ones in the theatre so we were able to laugh at the climatic argument at full volume. We walked out and said something to the effect of “I have been nearly everyone in that conversation at least once.” So yeah, we thought it captured the zeitgeist pretty well.
While I’m super down for another round of Survivor, I wanted to mention another idea. I believe there is an AI generated website for a Hunger Games style thing where you can add characters in pairs and watch who kills who and who does what, and I firmly believe you two would make it super fun!
There's also an updated version that takes a bit more effort to set up, but has a lot of cool changes
@@naplockblubba5369 what's it called?
@@M50A1 Just "Hunger Games Simulator: Updated" I think. It's on the same site, but I'm not entirely sure if it's on the homepage yet
Omg I’ve actually done that exact thing before! With the horror characters and everything! It’s great!
That would be awesome
I'm glad you brought up Lena Wilson, lmao, she got tore UP on TikTok for that bull crap! 😂
Ooh, people bringing their young kids to inappropriate entertainment drives me insane. I work at a haunted house, and you would not believe how many small kids we get. Then their parents flip out when the kids get too scared to continue. Ugh.
I worked in a movie theater from 2006-2010 and you would not believe how many people would come in and bring their young children. Not tweets, but actual children. We had a woman try to bring her four kids to Hostel. The youngest was probably about 2. I watched my coworker go get our manager and watched him try to explain why she couldn't bring them in. She finally said she'd just go to another theater. I honestly hope the other theater refused her too. I remember being so angry. Like how dumb can you be? Are you actually trying to scar your children? Like my mother took me to see Jurassic Park when I was super little and even that messed me up for a few years.
another comment but as someone who grew up during the really intense 2004/2005 hurricane seasons in florida I love the addition of glow sticks. they were a sort of way for parents to comfort their kids during the storm with the pretty glowsticks and i hold a lot of nostalgia for them.
My friend and I got the whole theatre to ourselves so we got to react as loud as wanted to the movie's laughs and scares, making the experience 100 times better.
Thank you for teaching me my new favorite word - Pugnacious lol adding it to my vocabulary
Damn I’m so lucky I’m missing work rn and am able to watch this from a hospital bed 😭 (I swear that isn’t entirely sarcastic, and I’m okay I promise) ily guys! Been a dead meat fan since 2018 and been a horror fan since I was around 6 yrs old (I’m 22 now) 💕😭
Still, feel better bro!
as a writer, the best advice i've gotten about the "write what you know" thing is, if you're going to include specific details about your personal life, always make sure you're the only one taking the L. if you're relaying a story about how you shat your pants on a bus in the middle of milwaukee that's one thing, but if you were sitting next to that person, maybe have it be that someone threw up on a ferry ride on their way to long island. what matters is the emotional impact of the event and what you as a writer can uniquely say about it, not the embarrassment of some poor person whose permission you didn't ask for, and whose story it isn't yours to tell.
One thing I don't see being brought up in a lot of discussion about this movie is that this is a primarily female cast and by default, the complex relationships of them being female is never really looked at. I think this movie sort of acts as an antithesis to The Descent, which proudly wore the badge of, "this is a movie about female relationships."
But it commentates on fake friendships.🤷♂️
ABSOLUTELY THIS I was having some serious flashbacks to middle- and high-school friend fights during this movie
The Descent was such a wild ride!
This movie exceeded my expctations, like you said the dialogue is hilarious and the characters are so fun, especially Alice!
Alice really got on my nerves. She is so hypocritical and constantly contradicting herself. Like whenever someone is accused of being the murderer, Alice would immediately agree with the killer and say something like, “That’s true. She has a point”. Like Jesus woman, make up your mind on who’s side you’re on.
This movie is hilarious, but I appreciate that it isn't afraid to do some fucked up stuff. Horror movies are built on fucked up ideas and finding out that they all just killed each other for no reason is such a perfect mix of fucked up and hilarious
AMOGUS the movie
That’s what I thought too! Also love your channel!
1M subs and 1 reply
Nah 💀
Man I wish the film would’ve used the Drowning Pool song 😔
Oh man, I just pictured that being used for the trailer. That could have been to cool!
Been waiting on this one! Best way to start my morning 🙌
you guys are the only podcast i listen to
Oh I loved this movie as part of Gen Z it’s awesome, the depiction is on point by the way people talk, act, and essentially put on a show. It took the best and funny parts plus horror into a movie and it’s perfect. Also love you guys so much
I was waiting for Lee Pace to be like Stephen Lang In Don’t Breathe or Dan Stevens in the guest and the reveal that he was just a veterinarian’s assistant who had adequately prepared for a hurricane made me laugh so hard
Disasterpiece did the score as well!! He’s the one who did the score for ‘It Follows’!
James mentions this at 12:08
I'm gen Z, and I was laughing the whole time during this movie. It is definitely accurate to how people my age speak and act, which added to this movie's brilliance. And, I must say, I watch a lot of horror and have gotten good at predicting endings, but this ending was phenomonal. No other ending would have compared, honestly.
I will say in regards to a “hurricane party”; it’s not about wealth or privilege. Most times when there is a hurricane party it’s because a hurricane is set to hit but is low grade enough to have businesses close but not dangerous enough that you need to evacuate. A CAT 2 hurricane isn’t going to level a town but it’s not safe to be driving around. Therefore, you’re guaranteed a day off of work and responsibilities and you go over to that persons house a few hours before the storm and enjoy the day. Lived in Florida for 12 years and it’s a common occurrence for every walk of life
The ability to say that it's not about privilege is, gasp, a privilege. People that live in low income housing will likely still experience water damage and power outages. Homeless people will still be at risk of dying and/or being displaced and losing their things. I live in gulf coast Texas so I understand what you're talking about, but "hurricane parties" are definitely a privilege.
i don't know, I'd say even bad thunderstorms are a problem for poor people and definitely not a time to party. I mean you're dealing with leaking roofs, trees falling over, flooding....it reminds me of the scene in Parasite where the rich family is ready to throw a party the morning after a storm while the poor family are sleeping in a shelter.
I hate starting a podcast and see how much you guys liked the movie your reviewing cuz now im only 2 minutes in and can’t finish until I watch this movie 😂
Worth it!
My theater was a crowd of just me and one middle aged guy in the front. I can't remember exactly when, but I heard him unrecline his chair, get up and walk out. I think it was during the gun scene. But he never came back and that was the funniest thing to me
The reveal of who dunnit made me laugh so damn hard.
As someone who is part of Late Millennial/Gen Z generation it was a pretty accurate satire of how arguments are drummed up online on a regular basis.
I really love it that Amandla Stenberg is genuine queer woman playing gay character
Listen I’ve been waiting for y’all to review Bodies Bodies Bodies!! Barbarian can wait!! 😂 I literally said “Yay” out loud when this video popped up on my feed lol thanks for all the hard work you all do! ♥️
Hurricane parties were the norm for me growing up in Louisiana, but our not well off version of it was always the adults buying alcohol in bulk and smoking outside until the rain got too bad then finally coming inside to drink while the kids were eating the leftovers and anything that would melt and watching TV before the power went out.
I ADORE this movie. As “gen z”
I can’t name a more accurate depiction of identity politics and slang
bodies bodies bodies is just a longer name for among us
As a Gen Z, I can confirm that this is a 1000% an accurate representation of us
i second that
I Third that
Man I’m never this early. These podcast make my overnights shift soooo much better!
Gen Z here and its soooo funny. Identified a lot with them especially Alice and Jordan.
as someone in gen z I really enjoyed this movie it captured this generation perfectly its gonna be so fun to look back on in 10+ years
Im a gen z viewer and this is one of my favorite horror comedies! This was so hilarious i busted out laughing in the theater and i felt it was spot on accurate!
I found this film to be super fascinating, I saw it as a commentary on the reliance of technology and social media. Which explains why the characters struggle to communicate with each other in person and rely on a group text. It's a very fascinating film to dissect.
I loved this movie when I saw it in the theater! We were the only ones laughing in the theater too! Once the movie ended we left and i realized it was just another older couple in the theaters with us. I heard one of them say to the other that it wasn't not the film they expected haha
Saw this in the poll and was very excited, and I havent even seen the movie. Started to watch it but couldn’t find it in high quality. So ultimately stopped, im excited to hear about all of it.
what a fantastic episode, glad you both loved this movie as much as i did
Great podcast episode🫰 TY FOR ALL YOUR HARDWORK CHELSEA and you guys mentioned this in a previous episode but just so you know I love the movie reviews!! I love the games and cool research episodes but just so you both know I don’t think I could ever get tired of watching you guys review movies and I’m always eager to hear the different viewpoints you guys contribute to horror movie discussions
I honestly blame so much of Greg’s death on Jordan. He successfully de-escalated the situation, getting everyone to put their weapons down, and from there, it would have been fine, they would have been able to talk it out. But she decided to JUMP ON THIS GUYS BACK as if that would even do anything?? And then immediately after getting her off and checking if she’s okay, to make things worse, Emma decides to put him in a chokehold. That one makes a little more sense because I could see how she could view Greg getting her off of him as “attacking” her, but still, SHE ATTACKED HIM, and he ASKED IF SHE WAS OKAY. One of the more infuriating parts of the movie for me, especially because I liked Greg so much, but this movie is amazing
Hurricane parties are not typically a sign of wealth whatsoever. Typically people throw those when the hurricane is a lower category/you live more inland.
most everyone does it but with how extravagant it is its the sign of wealth. most people's hurricane parties are a bunch of chips + donuts
@@Polygonyall well yeah ofc they were wealthy in the movie, just the way she explained it made it seem like everyone who had a hurricane party in real life is typically wealthy.
when i watch television shows or even the movies that james and chelsea are talking about, i need to be on my phone or doing something else or i can't focus on the movie. But when I watch this, which is just a conversation between two people, I am completely enraptured. I forget what time it is when I watch them talk. They are the perfect people for this, both very pleasant to look at, they have amazing chemistry and you can tell they love each other even when they talk about horror, and they have soothing voices. Not to even mention the amazing set I could look at all day. Just. A massive thanks to you both for killing my ADHD every time you post.
Yes! This movie exceededdddd !! 🔥🔥 do I smell a list coming…oh that’s just me 😭😂
i’m so excited for this omg, sacrificing my sleep rn
As a gen z, I really loved Bodies Bodies Bodies and viewed it as a good spirited critique on terminally online young people and the vapidness of influencer culture and nepo babies. Also as someone who sometimes gets a little too engrossed in my phone and what’s happening online, I could definitely pick out bits that applied to me and laugh at myself. As I said, the movie feels good spirited and not like some boomer shaking their cane at the neighborhood kids, which makes the criticism go down easier.
I just watched Bodies last night! So glad to see Dead Meat loves this movie as much as I did!
It’s incredibly dumb, but that’s some of the brilliance of it! I love the twist at the end, and I was laughing so hard when I started thinking about everything that happened because of that twist.
As someone who is more the audience for this movie, I was really disappointed to see a lot of people 30 and older bash on this movie and not understand it. I'm so glad to see James and Chelsea take bbb for what it is and enjoy the nuance of it
Im so psyched that James and Chelsea liked this movie because it is currently my favorite thing ever and tbh I thought they wouldnt like it.
scream, cabin in the woods and bodies bodies bodies, ready or not fit in a genre i love
My friends and I (in college) watched this and found it hysterical and authentic
The song Charli Xcx made for this movie (Hot Girl) may be the best song I’ve ever HEARD
So James I see your critique about why Bee killed Lee Pace’s character (and to another extent Jordan). Well how I see it is that she’s so loyal to Sophie, that whenever Sophie is in danger, she protects her and kills the people that were about to attack her. Going to show how loyal Bee is as a person. That’s how I interpreted it
I'm one of those three people Chelsea 🤣 it's also pretty ironic considering O'Malley's Vine history of screaming at privileged rich people.
That critic drama was hilarious because not only did she try to call another lesbian homophobic for calling her out but the review is just honestly poorly written and it’s not like this doesn’t happen a lot in film criticism but you realize in real time that they fundamentally don’t understand the film their criticizing. It’s fun to watch a mediocre nepo baby finally get some honest feedback.
