This may be the last time you ever get to see him admit he was wrong! |

Screaming Queens!I Know What You Did Last Spring Break! - Being peerless in its use of fantastic, obscure, and campy film references, you'd think Popular would avoid making a parody of the most picked-over genre in the history of film: the teen slasher flick. I mean, what's left to say now that the Scream trilogy pretty much deconstructed the genre to death and then Scary Movie deconstructed the Scream trilogy? Two words: Mary Cherry and a banana peel. |

Black-eyed pea-brainsFag - There's no such thing as discrimination when Gustave looks for a substance that will dull the pain of having to recap this antediluvian episode, in which everyone suffers some form of social oppression. |
