So I should watch it? And never heard of Shock Treatment...

[–] 1 pt

Definitely watch Demolition Man, I can recommend that movie to anyone. Shock Treatment might be a little more niche, but I think people should watch it- it's actually a sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show, with a lot of the same cast/writers, and it flopped BADLY when it first came out.

But Shock Treatment 100% accurately depicts modern "reality TV", medical tyranny, psychology as a psuedo-science, and so much more. It is a musical, but most of the songs are pretty good. Here's the title track/scene from the movie (context for scene: couple has gone on a sort of proto-reality show to fix non-existant problems in their marriage. "Doctors" blame their "problems" on the husband's emotional problems, and this is where they end up): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuNRopIJRgo

And here's the whole movie, free and unedited it seems, on YouTube (shows how badly it flopped, a true "cult classic"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U226KDXA9Y&t=3285s
