Randy Rainbow! Steven Colbert! True American patriots, both of them.
The cassowary article used fantasy movie adjectives.
Totally wasted on someone like me, who is an adult and likes grown up movies.
And on that topic, don't think me anti-American, (well, apart from Trump et al, obviously) but have you ever seen French or Spanish movies ?
Yes, yes, I know, you have to read the subtitles as you watch their faces, but if you watch it online you can pause if you have to.
Netflix and all those money grabbers have mainly American movies, some of which are really good, but they also have 'International' or 'Foreign' titles.
Even TV shows, the one about the high I.Q. cleaning women working after hours at a police station who wears short skirts, called High Potential as the American series, but called ....?.... in the original French version.
The French woman is a bit more ... harsh ? ... real ? whereas in the American one she is a bit too ... pretty ? twee ? no, twee is the wrong word ... never mind that, have a look AT THE FRENCH ONE FIRST ... I'll just put you on hold while I go search for it's name.
Here you go, HPI (Haut Potentiel Interllectuel)... that's the title, it's a highly acclaimed crime comedy series.
No idea where you'd find it, I found it on streamlord.to but it has since been replaced with the American version (probably Trump deciding that you watch only American)
