>>111608521They already tried to shit on Hero movies and it fell flat
Shitting on heist movies gets laughs from the 30-45 crowd who were teens and 20-somethings during the heist movie revival of the 00's, and let's teens to 20s feel intellectually superior to anyone who says "I lIke heist movies".
There were also some pretty forgettable heist movie that came out last year I think, maybe they thought it was the start of a new wave when they wrote the episode? Idk. This is the writers showing their pop culture addled hand in a bad way, the loud and overbearing geek way, instead of the savvy insider geek they try to channel
