    Battlefield Earth. I saw a schlocky sci-fi movie. The internet has since informed me it’s the modern Birth of a Nation or something.

      That’s because it’s actual cult propaganda. As in “it’s literally made by the church of Scientology, based on the founding literature of Scientology as written by Scientologist leader L Ron Hubbard, by Scientologist actors”

      In a vacuum? Yeah it’s cheesy sci fi. With context? Hoo boy…
