For anyone unfamiliar with Repo!, it's a dystopian sci-fi body-horror slasher coming-of-age rock opera with strong overtones of both The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Return of the Jedi.

The real Society for Genuine Marriage (Aito Avioliitto ry) is a fundamentalist organization who claim to "distribute true and accurate information" about why only straight people should be allowed to marry, have children, adopt etc. So they are sadly not as amusing as these guys in the comic.

Bernice is such a buzzkill. When I was 19 I was super religious and even still, if I'd gone to an art thing and wound up staring at some dude's dick for an hour that would be THE topic when chatting with my friends about it after. I would not be trying to change the subject or downplay it. Hell, even now as a jaded old lady.

It's definitely one of those movies where you don't want to think about the premise or the plot too deeply. Just roll with it and soak up the weird aesthetic and the soundtrack, and you'll have a great time.

At least, that's my viewpoint. A lot of people detest this movie, so YMMV.

Wasn't Luann romantically interested in Jack for about five minutes at some point? You'd think she'd have some interest in the particulars of his schlong.

I basically gave up on this.
Mennä metsään = to go wrong, to become a trainwreck, to become a mess
Mennä metsään = literally "to go into the woods", "to go into the forest"
In the original, Vesa was bragging about his "holistic nature depictions". I tried to make that work with the English "trainwreck" idiom but... eeeh.

Mark has two dogs, Sassy was the cat that became a dog that still behaves like an outdoors cat. Also this little storyline feels like Jules literally forgot or got bored of what she was doing.

Mark wants to get along with Rusty -> Cryptid Hunt -> Forget any Cryptid teasing -> Crocodile Pile -> Plea to Editor -> No Mark go to Bear Plot -> Oh no all my enemies -> This camp is dangerously lax about Bear safety -> scene missing -> Oh no all my enemies -> we're friends now and I own a dog.

lmao yeah like I said it's not like good but it's a fun weird hangout movie. It's got a lot of talk-singing without clever turns of phrase, nu-goth backing music and melodrama it's perfect for theater kids who like Andrew Lloyd Webber.
