Those krazed VHS-hunting pupz from Everything Is Terrible! (everyone’s favorite found footage chop shoppe) are back with their third inner-eye-opening feature, containing a feat never before attempted in either human or canine history. EIT! asks but two simple questions, “What if we make a movie composed ENTIRELY out of dog-related found footage?” and ‘'What if this magickal movie, made up of thousands of other dog movies, is also a remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain?” Well, let’s stop asking dumb rhetorical questions because this never-ending spiral of World-Pup winning, sunglasses-wearing, murder-solving, skateboarding pooches is real! No Bonez about it, this is it! Are you dog enough to go fetch it? ARFFFFFF!

Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The film's surrealist structure disrupts heteronormative storytelling tropes. While explicit same-sex intimacy is not evident, the non-linear narrative avoids conventional gendered romance.
Gender Representation
By centering on a canine ensemble, the film bypasses traditional human gender hierarchies. This non-human framework avoids reinforcing patriarchal leadership or standard male/female power dynamics.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
The film lacks human racial representation due to its focus on animal media. However, its use of reclaimed footage serves as a metaphor for redistributing narrative authority.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The film demonstrates high cultural subversion through its anti-capitalist approach to media. It prioritizes surrealist morality and spiritual themes over traditional Western storytelling structures.
Disability Representation
There is no discernible evidence regarding the portrayal of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. The focus remains on canine behavior and experimental editing.

AI Analysis
This experimental collage functions as a structural defiance of mainstream media institutions. By repurposing thousands of clips into a canine-centric remake of a surrealist masterpiece, it deconstructs anthropocentric gazes and traditional narrative authority. While the film lacks direct human intersectional data, its methodology aligns with progressive values of reclaiming and repurposing cultural artifacts. The chaotic, non-human framework provides a neutral space that avoids reinforcing standard social hierarchies. Ultimately, the work's diversity is found in its subversion of storytelling norms rather than human character studies.
