I actually had the misfortune of watching Iron Sky on Netflix (thanks to my teenage boys). While it was a satire, it was full of the standard Hollywood leftist propaganda push. It had a Tina Fey type actress portraying Palin as the president. I couldn’t help but think that the only reason this dreck got funded and green lighted was because it was ridiculing Palin. If so, the filmmakers understand how Hollywood really works as far as what gets made into a film.

I tried watching it, and was even more disgusted with the racist portrayal of the token black astronaut. I gave up about the time they came to Earth and encountered the gang.

It's not a Hollywood production. It's mostly Finnish, with some German and Australian money.

I'm guessing that this was a direct-to-streaming-video production, as I can't see how anyone would've approved the cost of even a bargain-basement DVD distribution.

It did contain an interesting echo of "The Watermelon Man", though. Nearly as subtle as last week's Mad Men episode, which featured a segue into "Planet of the Apes" footage during the midst of the Harlem riots that followed MLK's death.
