I kind of get what they were going for, but I guess I just didn’t find it all that funny or clever. Kind of a dud. The fact that she starred in SOB showing her boobs, and played a drag king in Victor Victoria demonstrates she’s not just squeaky clean Mary Poppins. I also don’t think Gen Z runs around labeling everyone and everything as problematic. Sounds like something someone out of touch from Babylon Bee would come up with.

I suspect you don't get the joke, because you are the joke.

Sounds like the joke wasn't aimed at you.

Holy hell, that cast list. That's a who's who of 1981 movie stars. And damn, I was born the year Julie Andrews showed us her tits. Hmmm...
