I don’t totally agree with that, because we aren’t just making fun of the crap problems with the film (like with TPM), part of it is making humor about alternate situations, character voices, facial expression or anything at all. It comes more from being very familiar with something serious, and turning that into something funny. Office Space failed not because it’s a good movie, but because it is a funny movie. It stands on it’s own as funny, and is more quote worthy, than commentary worthy.
I get what you mean, there’s no argument about comedy vs drama as fodder for this stuff, and obviously there’s way more to the SOS vibe than just taking the piss. I guess what really happens is when it’s a poor film all those alternate situations, funny voices etc aspects of the SOS commentary can be taken as spoofing when it’s not being done with that goal. And actually I don’t want to overanalyse it or make you guys overthink it because the magic works better when it’s more off-the-cuff and if you’re second guessing yourself the fun can be squeezed out of it. The best way to find out what different things work is to try everything out.
Either way, I’d still be into hearing a big breakdown discussion of the Matrix the same way as the EP93 Star Wars one.
