"If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?" was a 1971 Christian propaganda movie. Because it was filmed in an actual small town with non-actors it's a neat slice into what 70's rural life looked like. Pretty much everyone dressed like it was still WWII.

Seeing a lot of people clowning on this guy for thinking documentaries tell the full truth but like, most do? Or at least intend to? Most docs like true crime TV shows aren't meta-narrative mindfucks that's actually about the creators

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.
