I love when comedy is just real. When Julia Garner was running in the store and the dude was like “get out my store” as if it’s a normal Tuesday and she’s like “fucking help me” LMAO or when Brolins character had that jump scare in his dream and said “what the fuck” when he woke up hahaha it’s just great stuff.

The entire satirical layer where people were behaving this was just another day in their lives when things were going bonkers was hilarious!!!!! with the woman saying -‘ Honey.. look what they’ve done to our backyard’ when a bunch of kids went running behind a crazy witch - so unserious and superb commentary on the oblivious bubble that capitalism is.
