This sketch features a couple breaking up, with dialogue constructed exclusively from 154 film titles. (Liar Liar, The Man Who Wasn’t There, Unfaithful, and Whore are included.) The video—made by the Brooklyn-based, five-member comedy troupe POYKPAC—stars Ryan Hunter, Jenn Lyon, and Maggie Ross.
“It started to seem like there was this period where all these movies kept coming out with names like How Do You Know and Rumor Has It…, and they were mostly romantic comedies,” Hunter, who also wrote and directed “Movie Title Breakup,” tells me. It took him two days to write the sketch—staring at his computer, searching through IMDb for applicable titles. “It was almost as if Hollywood was running out of names to call movies, so they started using phrases—like we were trending toward a world where every human phrase ever said was going to be the name of a movie.”
