Heavy Meta
Banes at 12:00AM, June 20, 2019
I'm not generally a fan of ‘spoofs’ or parodies. There are a few greats of course, like Young Frankenstein, but even the well-regarded ones like the Naked Gun series back in the day aren't ones I was ever crazy about. There are some funny jokes and good performances ...

The Midpoint doesn't have the “dragged into a new world” of ...
