I was so excited about this installment of "bullshit" starring penn & teller, known illusionists and bullshit-exposers, that I even suggested to a friend to watch it, though I hadn't seen it. It's the equivalent of judging a book by it's cover.
What a lame fucking show. They almost make the opposite of their point by negation. They could have filled their show with excellent points, but instead have some self-indulgent bender of style and presentation. All they'd have to do is compare cultural attitudes, crime statistics, and the realities of the past to the present, expound upon them, add some magic tricks, and have another classic.
Instead, I don't even know what they tried to do. Most of it is penn ineffectually ridiculing the speech patterns of the 50's and 80's. If I were to compare this installment to past classics like "P.E.T.A." and "the boy scouts", this new one would pale in comparison like and albino to a "black" crayola crayon.
