The Liberty Hotel in Boston has suspended the guard and promised staff retraining after forcibly removing a cisgender lesbian from the women’s restroom.
i love movies like that, too, but it definitely wasn’t popular when it was released. and pat was always the butt of the joke. i also have to check my “but we cured racism in the 90s” indoctrination sometimes. fresh prince made me think things were a lot better than they really were back then.

Fresh Prince had a lot of references to the fact that racism was alive and well in the 90s. Many of those episodes also focus around the theme that even though the Banks’ were wealthy, it still didn’t stop them from being discriminated against, and even caused discrimination from other black people.
The second statement is true, and yet hyperbolic. That was the same time that they made the Coneheads movie, another bomb about SNL characters that had not been on screen in like 20 years. And like five other bombs on the same model.
Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World were successful enough that people forget that they originated as SNL sketches. And, because they were the first, they kept on trying.
Yeah, I was a kid when SNL was still airing those skits and they didn’t feel enlightened to me at all. Like, this is the same show that “joked” that Brandon Teena (who was already known to be murdered at that point) deserved to die for reporting his rape. Like, not as a shocking thing a heel would say, just a crass joke. It was hilarious to people then, that’s the environment It’s Pat is in.

The white cops were ready to pepper spray the Banks’ until his white partner shows up
It’s Pat, the movie, was a notorious commercial bomb, and sold basically no tickets.
It was made, though, because the recurring SNL sketch was popular enough to attract the investment.

The category as a whole isn’t exactly very impressive, as movies.
But the originating sketches that developed the characters were…fine.

The 90s were fucked up, y’all.
