We may not have flying cars, hoverboards, Pepsi Perfect, or self drying jackets, but we do have President Biff!

You clearly enjoyed THIS one, Jeff! Great job (I think). Unfortunately, this film genre is not one with which I have much experience (Hairspray being the notable exception) so I fully appreciate your theory of the case, if not the examples. Someone more familiar than I will have to comment on that.

Thanks for the message. I wish the MAGA bullies their due...

Love it. Some are so accurate. Times, faces and circumstances change, But billies remain in every age. Unfortunately, we are at a time when bullies are worshiped and elevated to deity status. One can only hope that some people will "open their eyes, look up to the skies and see..."

Nailed it! 🤣 Although I’d say drumpf is more like Biff Tannen; they’re both emotionally & intellectually stunted authoritarian misogynists who fail upwards. Really though, there’s a lot of overlap between all of them 😆

I can see that interpretation, as well. Sadly, misogyny was common in all those 80s bullies.
