Joe Dante's "Homecoming"

Ugh. This was so heavy-handed and self-indulgent I wanted to punch him. While I'm totally aligned with his political views, I am now ashamed of it.

A ideologue political adviser inadvertently causes dead soldiers to return to vote for the other party. Mayhem ensues.

The characters and issues were so clearly tied to current events/people (whose 15 minutes of fame is close to expiration), that the episode will make zero sense to anyone in the near future. Like making a movie that slyly mocks the press coverage of the Brittney/Federline breakup (note that this blog entry will be equally relevant now that I've mentioned that....).
