I don't think I ever heard of it, which is pretty surprising given the cast.

Also, obligatory:
Office Space - Bushie

I actually saw it in high school of all places. Pretty good film though.although it was controversial even at the time because it basically advocates for jury nullification.

Replace train schedules with election and polling data, and this sketch is basically every conversation on Atlas.

The Gregg Turkington character in On Cinema is basically Atlas's less talented posters except he's obsessed with movies instead of politics.




The way he talks like a film critic while saying nothing substantive closely parallels how Atlasians, myself included, will use pundit talk without meaningful content.

The "beyond the infinite" sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey makes me think of olawakandi.

Multiple people have amusingly confirmed to me that "The Whale" is very similar to the snowguy and foucualf scandal. I have been tempted to write a short film screenplay in a John Waters' style about them, the late actress Divine would be perfect for the lead.

When I watched Girl on the Train about a year ago and at one point cops from Long Island were mentioned, I immediately thought of bronz.

I also frequently think of him while watching the TV series S.W.A.T. since a lot of the background story is about race relations and policing (with the main character being a black sergeant trying to bring people together).

I don't think of Atlas posters.

I just make interesting observations.

1. Everyone with Mike in their name is easy to get along with.

2. Fuzzy always comes out on top when the little band of roaming mosquito's try to bite him.

3. The fear of Trump being re-elected has most people here on edge.
