Hi, I'm Kahle McCann of Research.

And Sudden Death!
And I'm Dan Prevette. The voice of Mufasa from Disney's The Lion King.
That wasn't you.
Simba...
And this is I Hate It!
The show where we hate movies, so you don't have to.
This week, we'll be talking about Elysium, starring Matt Affleck.
In the distant future, mankind is torn in twain.
With the poor living in District 9 and the uber rich living in Deep Space 9.
How much did you hate this movie?
Enough to notice the thinly veiled metaphors for our own social hierarchy.
A hierarchy, I might add, that seems based upon Marxist rhetorical theory.
How do you know those words?
Furthermore, there's no sickness on Deep Space 9,
or, as they call it, "Elysium."
Which, in the original Latin, means "Heaven."
Dan, Latin is a country. Not a language.
Kahle, you ignorant ***.
OK, they abandoned the impoverished to live a life of squalor and disease.
It's clearly a metaphor for our own failed economic system.
Well, I give it four hate thumbs down!
I'm done hating things, Kahle.
No, Dan, I am still picking up pieces from the last time.
We just sit around criticizing and stewing and hating
as the ashes of our once proud cities plume around us.
Enough!
No, I'm not driving back to Latin to quell another one of your revoluciones.
It's time to stop wishing for change, hoping for change... we need to make a change!
Shelly, you need to get the other interns out of here.
Enough is enough!
Dan, those chairs are super expensive!
AARGHH!!!
(SOMETHING IN UKRAINIAN)
Everybody get out, everybody get out!
(MORE UKRAINIAN)
AAAHHH!!! AHH!! AH!!
Shh shh shh shh... shh...
Big bear... yeah. It's ok...
Remember...
...who you are...
...Simba...
There you have it. We hated it so you don't have to.
I killed Mufasa...
AHHHH!!!!!!!
