This is a Must See!

Many people on her talk about SJWs, our changing culture, media brainwashing, and this is a movie that addresses those topics in a clever way.

I have seen this many times and I'm always looking for it to pop up, but it doesn't too much.

The actor who plays Johnny Twenties is great and he didn't go on to do much, which is a damn shame. If they could make a sequel in today's social climate, it would be awesome.

It's too bad though because I have become bored with movies lately since nothing creative and out of the box like this is being made. There was as also a great French movie from around this time called Thomas et Amour (Thomas in Love) about a rich guy who lived in a high tech near future bunker and lived entirely through the internet, to stay safe.

It was also great and original.

Check this and that out ASAP!

It's certainly one of those obscure gems that merits a lot more attention.

This film is criminally underexposed and needs a wider audience.

On YouTube, there's a show called Report of the Week.

A young guy who reminds me of Johnny Twenties, the main character of this film, reviews fast food.

The host tends to wear retro clothing and speaks in the clipped tones of a 1930s, 40s reporter.

I have no idea if there's a connection between him and this movie but it's all fun if you like the concept.
