Cinefix ftw. Want to learn about something specific, find a cinefix list, write down not just the list, but all the quick fire mentions during it, and watch em all. That’s a focused course everytime
Robocop and Starship Troopers are great action movies and I think when they first came out, the satire got lost in the action. But over the years, the message they conveyed became more and more relevant. Now, it’s hard not to see the satire in both movies.
With Robocop being a satire, and Starship Troopers being a sometimes misunderstood satire, was Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls also supposed to be a satire misunderstood, or was it just crap?
I watched that this morning. I love their lists because of all the extra movie titles they throw at you for every category.
I really wanna watch that one with the Bosnians faking ethnic amity for the Clinton visit.
That’s a pretty great list. Can’t argue with any of it.

I only need to see the thumbnail to know I agree with this list. 😀
Love The Player, Altman was the king of satire.
Somewhat off topic but does anyone know who the narrator of the video is? His voice is very familiar.
Honestly meber realised that there were so many good satire/black comedy films to begin with. Great list as usual.

The self-aware snark in the commentary is perfectly balanced. Superb narration!
