Intro 00:11
2.
Superman is a false idol An opium for the masses A white guy with an eighth Navajo blood Lawful good But abandons his culture for a new fad This symbol means hope Go fuck yourself Save someone Anyone Flood your neighbour's kitchen Why do I support the iconoclastic cunt Lex Luthor, who knows more about Krypton than you Why does Batman have a gun Go fuck yourself Go fuck yourself Zack Snyder has never written a good film without concrete source material Go fuck yourself Go fuck yourslef There's a city in the centre of London ruled by an oligarchy that controls the financial district Go fuck yourself Go fuck yourslef Wonder Woman was cool
3.
Holy shit they learned how to make a film Hey DC, conflict makes sense when you build it up over numerous films And everyone's here Iron Man And Ant Man And Cap Man And Purple Man And Bird Man And Spider Man And Other Bird Man And Cat Man And War Man ­ Woman Where my girls at? There’s redhead, brunette and blonde But what about Pepperman Portman Sifman Norah Dormer Coleman Betty HIMYM Gamora (Fuck) Nebula? Peggy! But she’s dead Fuck Marvel
4.
If you want V for Vendetta Read the graphic novel If you want Wachowski siblings Watch the fucking Matrix If you want to buy a Guy Fawkes mask licensed by Warner Brothers and pretend you're against consumerism Congratulations you're very smart And if you like Roger Allam I mean that makes sense
5.
It's a cynical shot-for-shot remake of A New Hope, but it turns out I don't care.

The christian propaganda In God's Not Dead Converted me To satanism
7.
Watch The Wizard of Oz Through nostalgia tinted glasses Pay no attention to the black coffee and eighty cigarettes in the daily diet of sixteen year old Judy Garland Pay no attention to the aluminium dust in the Tin Man's make up hospitalising Buddy Ebsen Pay no attention to the asbestos in the fake snow Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain Keep consuming The greatest family film of all time Remember the golden age of cinema Those were the days
8.
As the fog rolls over The dramatic mores of Hertfordshire Lizzie, bonnet-less Watches as Darcy heathcliffs towards her "I can't afford to be romantic" Bullshit, Charlotte You'll say I do to anyone Especially Lizzie It falls into the clichés Being parodied two hundred years ago Oh, I'm sorry I thought I was watching Pride and Prejudice Not Wuther-fuck-ing Heights [So don't judge me, Lizzie - don't you dare judge me] (I still love it tho.)
9.
Victor Frankenstein is written by Hipster and consistently disappointing Max Landis About J Mac grooming Dan Rad as his new gay lover Evidence: Saves him Kills a man for him Dresses him Feeds him and homes him Heals his psychological wounds Heals his physical maladies Forbids him to see women Urges him to create an 8 foot, 4 lunged, 2 hearted baby with him Like, he literally wants to create a baby with him Like, together Like, he wants to have cute undead babies with Dan Rad Either I've completely misunderstood the homosexual agenda Or James McAvoy has chemistry with literally everyone

Zootopia 01:01
Zootopia has many beasts The largest of which is the many headed hydra of oppression You will know the beast every day of your life In the dirt In the street In your office (I don't want to fuck a rabbit) You will feel small and scared but you can tame the beast Use it Control it Turn it on others (I don't want to fuck a rabbit) When you serve and protect, who is your master? Is it your city? Your boss? Yourself? (I don't want to fuck a rabbit) Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Hands up, don't shoot Stay woke The revolution will not be televised I dont want to fuck a rabbit I dont want to fuck a rabbit I dont want to fuck a rabbit I want to fuck the fox

When we look back at artifacts of time past, we do not look at the spectacular to tell of life before, but of the everyday, the median, and mundane By this logic three to tango is the single greatest film of the twentieth century Let me summarise the plot Boss meets girl, boy meets boss, boy meets girl, they fall in love, girl thinks boy is gay The thing plays out with a tedious inevitability A budget of 20 million Took half that at the box office It has an occulus rift The swing revival was happening We were untouchable Invincible We built great big things Hot chicks could make 3 noises at once [3 noises at once] Holy fuck And it's fucking funny Got Matthew Perry Mistakably campy They thought We gon make dat Friends money But ultimately despite its thin veneer of relaxed and honest acceptence There's an awful lot of no fucking homo We are fine with the homosexual as long as it is confined, repressed, and as long as you conform And where the fuck are the lesbians?

Bastille Day 00:46
Idris Elba est un policier imprévisible sur les bords Qui auditionne pour James Bond Et pour d'autres américains blancs Et pour une française aux yeux de biche C'est l'histoire d'un soufflé qui rencontre Die Hard Comme les thèmes du fascisme et corruption Supplément explosions J'ai adoré, et toi aussi Nique la police!
14.
Let me tell you about Stranger Things, motherfuckers We start topside, the beginning Matched machinations of the DM pulling in both directions Joyce Byers, who slowly disintegrates While one son dies and leaves the other to drown Madder than Midas, poor choice in men Here's one now! Mixed up and washed out, looks worse cleaned up Lost a girl, we found a girl! Bobby deserved better! But watch these kids, man They know what's good Fucking 12 speed bikes bombing around They're gonna find their friend Without the grown ups With their best friend in a wind breaker Bloodied sleeve, and a stolen dress Assuming, that is, that Mike and Lucas Don't fucking kill each other over her It's fine though Dustbin's on the case Oh and fuck Steve, man Just fuck that guy I know he had the thing at the end But holy fuck

Watermelon Death Cult The two giant women were fighting They were beating each other up Then Jasper fell into the middle of the Earth Now they've gotta drill to save the world Oh shit!
17.
Time runs out We drill We can only drill And wait for the consequences But oh no I guess Cause Steven can hug anything In the universe And make it good Make it good And the green Dorito is happy And I love her (It's a really good episode.)
18.
The world is large, and always changing, never still. Fight no more; rest.
19.
You're cute to think That this life shattering Spirit breaking event Is something that can be disappeared With a pool A floatie A card But that's not how it works That's not how it stands You hurt me I am hurt I am quiet and broken And it is you who did this to me (Despite this rhetoric I still notice that Lapis looks like Lois from Family Guy.)
20.
Oh yeah It's all over We drilled a hole We killed a gem We've finished this goddamn arc And now we just wanna watch Ruby and Sapphire Play a podful of gems At motherfucking baseball Ah it's all over Ah this is so dumb I love it
21.
variation is as beautiful as originality and between king carpenter and the silence of the hills we enter our upside down where the end ends the board joyce byers is our emotionally intelligent heroine when it comes to this other world smarter than brenner more determined than the boy wonder brigade doesn't hop look about 'nam age nam age nam age to you number one benny with a bullet connie the gorgon the spores the necrotic flesh the acids the tumours we are being digested we are being appraised we are being watched like russkie commies in a black room by a scared little a-bomb with adorable eyes don't hide too long has no one ever said when you stare sometimes the abyss comes home with you
22.
Hark and halt as light rains from above Silence for the Click of mighty sacred heel A pinnacle declaration to those undeserving of Mere Pigs who need to be taught to kneel May the alabaster skin be forever uncaring And thy deep brow cement thy iron resolve May the blue eyes match the sword flaring And this petty god’s fabric around you, revolve But thou art not just foul power criminal Thou art Machiavelli’s chosen daughter Thy plans and manipulations a villanelle Leading thy butcher mother to the slaughter Our lady of contradiction mighty roars Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars!
