It will be about some family who gets stuck in the world of the Onion.

    Honestly, I’d love to see a real, factual documentary about the Onion/Avclub over the years.

    From what I’ve seen, there’s some fascinating stuff there, from the college town founding through the internet highs and the acquisition by Gawker (after the Hulk Hogan lawsuit), with some employee unionization along the way. Maybe they could even interview the clearly unqualified forum dev who jumped on a live chat to talk about how the Gawker system that replaced Discus was a clear improvement.

    I used to be a big Avclub fan until about 2018 or 2019. Then it became way too ad-ridden and clickbaity. The Onon was equally ad-ridden, but felt like it kinda retained its soul.

    You mean a new Onion movie? If it is anywhere near as good as the first one, I’m all for it.
