Recently, with the The Last Dance airing it's final episode. We decided to give Space Jam a rewatch. Like The Last Dance, it's also available on Netflix. Since neither of us had seen it since the year it was released we decided to load it up. It's a kids movie from the 90's featuring Looney Tunes, how bad could it be we guessed. Oh, how wrong we were. If this movie were to release today it would have been called out for its problematic behavior. Since there is no statue of limitations for outrage. Why don't we look at this movie without hateful preconceptions of race and gender.
Early on it's apparent this movie has an underlying agenda. Every single actor that is on screen is a white male. With the exception of Patricia Heaton and Michael Jordan's wife, Theresa Randle. Who both see a total of one minute combined screen time. So clearly, this movie has a big diversity problem. In a film about basketball the only People of Color in the entire motion picture are athletes. Not a good look. What's even worse, the real diversity hire in this movie is also a white male; Shawn Bradley. Who clearly didn't get selected for this movie by the merits of his talent. The other teammates on The Monstars are a bunch of blubbering Neanderthals. With Shawn Bradley, the only white player, being the only one shown with brains and compassion. The agenda becomes painfully obvious at this point.
Entering the second act I didn't know what to expect. Blatant misogynism, apparently, was the next trangression on the table. In the first act top NBA players (including Shawn Bradley) have their basketball talents stolen from them. To demonstrate how diminished Charles Barkely's skills have become in the second act, they emasculate him by having him lose to a bunch of girls in a pick up game. There are also references of a bunch of grandmothers being able to beat these guys now. I don't need to explain how sexist that is. A grandfather would fare just as badly against prime Sir Charles.
Everytime I calmed down and lowered my blood pressure, there would be a new offense. And, the last act is a doozy. So we have finally gotten to the basketball climax. Lola, the female rabbit who started out a very strong character gets reduced to nothing more then a sexual object for Bugs to have his way with. When the game is over, Bugs basically grabs her by the pussy and forcefully shoves his tounge down her throat. And her reaction is to hoot and holler like some love struck whore. Before that disgusting act takes place, we are greated to our white savior; Bill Murry. Who immediately takes control of the situation and starts dishing out orders for Michael Jordan. So the best basketball player in the world couldn't get it done on his own and was only able to win with the help of a white male. My eyes were looking like the Undertaker's at this point.
Everybody in my family was really enjoying this movie. So I paused it everytime there was offensive content. I had to educate them. So they could see what I see. Needless to say, by the time Robert Kelly started to sing my family was ready to boycott all movies made by Warner Brothers. We are currently in the process of having this movie wiped from existence. Please notify the authorities if you see anybody trying to signal boost this disgusting, hateful film.
If you believe any of this shit. It really is a clown world. Stay safe everyone and have a great day.
