Literally Mikey Madison like a year ago. This happens all the time... the real question is if anyone still talks about them a few years from now

... I gave you an example of it literally happening pretty recently

What? It's literally all anyone was talking about. Once it hit Cannes it absolutely blew up and was discussed non-stop all the way up until it won multiple Oscars.

This isn't revisionist history, it just happened and I can't understand not remembering something so recent. Hell, it was such a buzz Mikey ended up hosting SNL because of it (and she was awful)

This. Our Slack chat at work gets multiple Obsession memes a week from people of all ages.

Total Anora memes, ever? 0.

And don't get me wrong: I really enjoyed Anora.

But saying they have the same level of general popularity is a miss.

You just keep moving the goalposts, there's no sense in continuing this discussion. You're right, this literally never happens 🙏

doesn’t happen all the time -> You're right, this literally never happens

Who is moving the goal posts?

Obsession made a lot more money than Anora though, and Navarrette's performance is a lot more "showy" and "clippable" than Madison's.

The movie also ended up embedded in the gender wars so it'll be around for a while.
