Review of Supercon (2018) by Martin C — 28 Apr 2018

This movie has a subtle subversiveness that the reviewers I have read seem to have missed. They appear not to perceive the humor inherent in con fans watching a movie to see con fans pretending to be con fans.

They are going to get all the jokes. They also seem to not appreciate the unabashed playing with the industry's hypocrisy of feigning extreme offense at every type of awful stereotype while building and maintaining a business model that uses those stereotypes as their stock and trade.

Some people don't take offense in the abstract. But what they seem to miss most is that there's an actual twist ending that makes the whole much more than a prurient bagtag slapstick heist caper.
