Is Popeye the Sailor a deep Jungian archetype? Did Sweethaven's tax-and-spend government lead the way for Reaganism? Is mankind divided between Blutos and Wimpys? These and other pressing political questions will not be answered in our discussion of Robert Altman's POPEYE (1980).

Apologies for the non-Popeye post (loved this ep) but I’m watching Castaway and in the opening scenes there’s literally a shot of Russian workers taking down a picture of Lenin while Tom Hanks parades around Moscow. Michael and Us treatment needed urgently!

I never thought I'd be offering a quasi-defense of 'Mr. Mom' to Michael and Us nation, but here goes! :-D For starters, many Midwesterners like myself grew up with the film as an '80s/'90s fixture, especially given what a star Michael Keaton was during that time (hence why I immediately knew of it when Will played the trailer, versus Luke's unfamiliarity with it). But more importantly, I think the reason my own mother (and her sisters) so loved the film is because it 'lightly' satirized the complete idiocy and hopelessness of working dads when it came to anything involving domestic work – Keaton's struggles at merely buying groceries was, to them, their lives projected on the screen. Hardly a classic, but hey, we do get some corporate satire with a company obstacle course! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCWpD8MSRKQ

Yes this millennial ignorance of Gen X glows sometimes with these two. Like you said, not a classic but at least an acknowledgement of what the male species got and get away with.
