John Edwards

Though I am not a fan of the director/lead actor and not ordinarily a fan of satire, I loved this movie. But I am of an age (65) at which I lived through the birth of the many, many cultural references in the film, including and especially Kellogg's Pop Tarts and Post's Country Squares (later called Toast'em Pop Ups). So I was able to appreciate the references and connections, despite some of those references being extremely obscure. Those under 50 or so are very unlikely to remember Jack LaLanne and his iconic jumpsuit with upturned collar, the Stingray bicycle with banana seat and wheelie bars, the necklaces made of candy pearls, the "reducing" Vita Master electric massage roller machine, how very popular Tang really was, and so many other oddities from the 1950s and 1960s. Even the inclusion of the "Mad Men" characters Don Draper and Roger Sterling will likely be lost on anyone under 40. I am not even sure that contemporary audiences will "get" all of the comedic references to "January 6," though Tony the Tiger dressed as the Q-Anon shaman was pure comedic gold and made me spit with laughter.
