I won’t watch this but is the single flower the crack pipe flower thing that is ubiquitous in gas stations?

Back in 2016, Turner Classic Movies had Jonah Goldberg on to talk about a political movie of his choosing. He chose A Face in the Crowd because of its similarities to…the Bernie campaign.

Really enjoyed how Will said, “or _did_ it??” about Pusser killing his wife.

I'm going to give them The Incredibles because I've heard Brad Bird is into Ayn Rand and think his style influences back it up. Also the bit giving out about participation trophies.

Really showed your Canadian-ness when you riffed about ketchup chips being in a Texas convenience store, they’d consider that flavor foreign degeneracy

The Incredibles is one of my favorite movies but it is very reactionary.

Guys, you have to tell the curator of the Buford Pusser Museum - he's living a lie!!

I came here (a bit late) to see if anyone commented on this. The Incredibles is quite reactionary, and not just because of Brad Bird’s stupidity or Craig T. Nelson’s deserving the death penalty.

Joining the others in saying that yeah The Incredibles at least has libertarian/conservative coded ideas about personal responsibility, individuality, and corporations + law keeping the best of the best down

If I may don my cultural historian hat (not the one in the avatar), I think the ‘network television aesthetic’ you mention tells us something significant about these sorts of films to be explored on another occasion. (Sorry, now I sound like the editor I once was.) Pretty sure GROUNDHOG DAY was on a list of ‘Catholic films’ issued by some Vatican-adjacent cleric in Wojtyla’s day, or not long into Ratzinger’s time. Zahler would be quite interesting to review more thoroughly. BLOOD TOMAHAWK offers a curious compromise of early 19th-century views of the ‘savages’ that seems unexpected in the context. This suggests that conservative attitudes towards the indigenous have been truly transformed by the efforts of Kevin Costner and Robert Bly thirty years ago.
