"Falling Down" is another one.

I love that movie.

I also realize it's totally on some pre-MAGA shit..

Which reminds me of the the bit from Random Acts of Flyness about the white anti-hero/white devil in which the pattern of championing the emergence of the white male antihero in pop culture as a sort of reclaiming of the white male's masculinity and dominance. I believe Breaking Bad and Falling Down were both referenced among other shows/films.
