THE. GREATEST. ACTION. MOVIE. EVER. MADE.

Michael Scott’s masterpiece, Threat Level Midnight, is a movie that defines a genre while simultaneously deconstructing it. In this video essay, I examine how Threat Level Midnight’s use of irony and symbolism makes the social commentary the film offers so impactful.

Fun fact: this was my favorite video I’ve made for the channel so far. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
