I laughed all the way through this and then I laughed at the reviews! Mark Ruffalo's bit had me in tears by the end. I wish I would have seen it when it came out, I could have used a laugh in 2021. Regardless, it is eight minutes well spent. Don't be deterred by the "ratings" left by those completely missing the point or those failing to understand parody. This was hilarious from start to finish. It hits many of the far right talking points and if you have ever been to the websites this short is satirizing you might be hard pressed to distinguish the film from actual content found on several. Thank you to everyone involved in this production.
