    St. Trinians has always been my favourite ‘this is so fucking dumb I love it’ watch it with your brain turned off and what little remains of your British pride turned on film. It feels like a fever dream and I adore that. Also I’m a sucker for found family and despite the movies whole plot it has surprisingly a lot of that. They’re doing dumb convoluted crime shit BUT they all really care about eachother and I think that’s what really cemented its place in my heart.

    The way I was holding my breath with each category, preparing (even though it would have broken my heart) to fight Mike if he didn't end up picking my favorite out of the three (the same movie that changed my brain chemistry forever) and the vindication in the end when his extremely scientific scoring system declared my favorite movie as the winner. This must be how the male species feel after their favourite team wins the world cup or something. These 37:30 minutes were everything. The validation from the mmcu and Mr. Microphone himself might just have healed my inner child.

    1. colin firth and rupert everett did movies together decades ago at the start of their careers and this is constantly referenced in st trinians (like the lines: 'another time' 'another country') and what makes their relationship in the movie so aaaa!!!! another level!!!
    2. the receptionist is played by jodie whitaker who is??? literally the doctor??? which is like the most british thing ever??? should have got extra points for that imo
    anyway go watch st trinians

    This video made me realize why i like Mike's channel so much.
    It's the references, of course it is! First, the sheer amount of them, then it's the way that they're crossed and woven and built on top of each other in such a insane way (like, structuring a video about 2008 british teen movies around BRAT? sorry luv that's insane) that you are bound to understand something even if you only get one reference, it's so good. And also how relevant they are to the NOW. Rather than giving these videos an expiration date (cause pop references do get stale), it makes each video a snapshot of the pop landscape at the time of release (through the lens of Mike) and like, the internet as well. And that's is VERY pop, and on purpose as well, and that's very Gaga of you Mike.
    Also not to mention the many subversions of the UA-cam video format, you're insane. So yes, your artpop could mean anything, and it means being chronicly online and being pop for pop's sake.
    Love you, love your art, keep it babe, bumpin' that
