    Oh man, if you haven’t watched one since then, you missed the whole run and eventual fall of parody movies that propped up in the late '90’s & early '00’s. Not that they were as good as Airplane, but it was a fun ride till it sucked. Personally I enjoyed the first few movies in the Scary Movie series, Not another teen movie, and Don’t be a menace to south central while drinking your juice.

    But then we get to stupid crap like Epic Movie and Disaster Movie and Superhero Movie. All entirely forgettable and just trying to cash in on the success that the Wayans brothers had with the original Scary movies

    Honestly you haven’t missed much, but there are a few movies in that genre I still go back to every now and then.

      It was more of a joke - I have seen those 90s-2000s parodies. They were somewhat funny at the time but I don’t think there’s an audience for them today. But I guess we’ll see?
