You Can't Kill Meme

"Didn't really like this one."

Peter O. (4/5)

Meme magic, if you know you know

"Don’t usually buy documentaries, I enjoy them, but they’re not something I usually like to collect. On the rare occasion, when a topic either hits home or is very bizarre and intriguing I yield. What can I say about this one? For starters it probably is and it isn’t what you’re expecting. Yes, it’s an investigation regarding memes and their social impact/interactions, but it’s also about the wild and obscure topic of meme magic. Yes, magic. For people like me that are terminally online this release presents a not well known subject regarding the impact of memes. Not just political, not just social ideas being easily propagated or manipulated, but a sector behind it that believe it or not does indeed think they’re doing a magic service to society. So, if you’ve ever partaken on conversations or meme rabbit holes, and how various people interact with them, how these have or don’t have social impact or outcomes, or topics regarding esoteric magic. This might be your thing. If you’ve ever partaken believe or not in the supernatural aspect of life, doesn’t matter. Anyone can take from this fine piece. Definitely gonna rewatch it woth some friends."

John R. (5/5)

Somewhat interesting documentary style film

"This release was a bit difficult for me to "sit through" and not because it is a documentary style film. Maybe it was pacing or themes, like practicing non empathy, but there were also interesting and informative parts like the light service workers. Neat slip and sleeve"

Kresh R. (2/5)

You Can't Kill Meme

"I guess you have to believe in magic for magic to happen. A doc on die hard believers, unfocused and one-sided. But I give it three stars for persistence. Nice artwork."

Hansi L. (3/5)

A bit unfocused

"I’m not really sure what the point of this doc was and I’m not sure the filmmaker does either. It’s kind of all over the map and the director assumes we know more about memetic magic than we do. It was entertaining, but just felt aimless"

Brennan B. (3/5)

Great packaging / quality, good documentary!

"The quality of the packaging is top tier as expected. The documentary wasn’t perfect but I still found enjoyment watching it."

Timothy C. (4/5)

Mind blowing

"Mind blowing"

Ian C. (4/5)

You Can't Kill Meme

James T. (4/5)

Me me meme

"This doc attempts to examine memes and meme culture in about 60 minutes."

Douglas A. (3/5)

Poor Matt furie

"Great doc"
