the reason Trump is renovating the Kennedy Center is that ticket sales tanked and they could only book Kid Rock and Gene Simmons

So basically Melania is trying to do the goodfellas directed by the guy who did rush hour lol?

This was overall really not funny nor informative

The real casualty of the east wing wrecking is that we are never getting another indie horror White House decor

November bringing up spilling food and Juniper not talking about spilling her cheese in the theater is disappointing

we had to save some of the good stuff for the KTC episode!

See if nova really wanted a visa to the USA she'd have bought tickets to 3D IMAX Melania. At the bottom of the popcorn bucket there is a personally signed diplomatic invitation into the USA

Have we considered that the big "R" dress might actually be a "Я"?

Is Melania team Rocket?

I heard they hired the camera crew on Hench

That feels like it should be a Venture Bros reference, but l'm not sure

"You look nervous, is it the accent? Do you want to know how I got the accent?"

if only there was an accent specialist among the hosts

Renewing my call for Riley to guest on Worst of All Possible Worlds to talk about Warhammer.

Ratner “like a fly around shite” was too obvious I guess.

Andrew Davis · February 14, 2026

If we can't do the Slovenian voice, what are we even doing here? Next Riley will be telling me I can't make fun of Estonians. *Russian accent* It is political correctness, gone mad.

FreeBard42 · February 14, 2026

I reject the notion that making a propaganda film about a fascist w/a nonce fascist husband would make folks *forget* about Ratner's crimes, especially as I'd mostly forgotten about them by forgetting he existed for 5+ years, but do accept that he'd be dumb enough to assume that.

J. Haskin · February 14, 2026

The reason Gimme Shelter is in the movie is because it’s Scorsese’s signature Rolling Stones song (he used it in at least 3 movies) and Brett Rattner is desperately trying to steal his direction signature

John Leavitt · February 14, 2026

Not only was Musk really trying hard to be on camera, any camera during the inauguration but that was when he was visibly gakked out or rolling and just high as a fucking kite before dong a tee hee Nazi salute and I think we all just forgot that until now. Also a blue Maga people were real into Be Best being proof of Russian influence cause it has Russian word order or something

j
jamin · February 17, 2026

I forgot about the X jumping but not the Nazi salute.

It's baffling to me how miserable these people are. Like obviously "money and power doesn't make you happy" is a universal truth but they have people to take care of every want or need they could possibly ever have, even the really awful ones, even the really weird ones, and they still seem more fucking miserable than the like 30 queer people I know toughing it out in a world that very literally wants them dead. It's so baffling.

Wawawawa · February 14, 2026

Also Nova makes white south africans sound significantly less cringe than they actually do.

Anggg · February 13, 2026

I did a Short Google searches where I can see this movie here in Germany, and literally the only thing that come up was a online newspaper article about a single movie theater director who was literally quoted saying he searches 100 volunteers who „are willing to pay for this shit“ , saying he will donate the money from that (I searched probably to late though, I assume some tried showing it for a few days)

I remember during the 2020 campaign a recording came out of Melania ranting about how much she hated Christmas and Christmas decorations, and within hours of that news breaking Trump announced that he had COVID.

I love the "she doesn't really talk like that" theory but what I was imagining was more Mom from Futurama than "what if a Slovenian woman was South African?"

K
Kate · February 13, 2026

Riley: “we’re at the bottom ten minutes” 30+ minutes of runtime remaining. Hell yeah.

K
Kate · February 13, 2026

And it’s mainly Melania with different accents, which is time well spent.

d'egg · February 13, 2026

somebody I'm sure has made this joke but the Melania Donald dynamic is giving Jennifer Coolidge in Best in Show. "we both love soup, and...snow peas...talking or not talking...we could talk or not talk forever"

Ronin Fredricson · February 13, 2026

Like it's not that I expected the Melania doc to be GOOD! I didn't expect it to be CRITICAL about much of anything, especially not the modelling business and how it treats women and OBVIOUSLY ESPECIALLY not critical of Donald Trump but I at least thought it was gonna be about more than 3 weeks of her life! I expected it to be a very reductive very doctored story about a girl born in a Gray Ugly Socialist Hellscape who managed to make it all the way to First Lady of the Glorious United States through the power of Being Beautiful as a way to inspire little girls everywhere to become beautiful wives as well. And while it would have been bad there still would have been... a story?

I'm losing my mind realizing that reality tv has also ruined fascist propaganda. These people don't know Julius Evola, they know E! Network.

I keep reading it as like a Roman 3. Total Warhammer Ill. I guess that's the Kugath campaign.

Does Riley intentionally confuse Slovakia and Slovenia? Aaaaa

M
MatterWiz · February 13, 2026

Theres something very fitting that Trumps Leni Riefenstahl is Brett Ratner

James Rule · February 13, 2026

I've never been so fascinated to learn about a movie I have less than no interest in watching. I'd rather go dancing with the Hellraiser Cenobites than watch the trailer to this movie.

I never thought about the fact two of my favorite podcasters are named after months
