22 Hilariously Mean Burns From the Week of September 4th, 2023

Jeff Nichols, whose films often dive deep into the machinations of blue collar America, is back with a movie about the trials and tribulations of a Chicago biker gang in the 1960s. After its premiere at the 50th Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, a trailer hit the web for the public’s first glimpse of the movie. But nobody’s focusing on Austin Butler’s potential for an Oscar nomination, or the emotionally propulsive clips of Jodie Comer. Instead, everyone is trying to figure out what accent Tom Hardy has created for the role, as he’s known to do things with linguistics that have yet to be understood. 

That said, Hardy’s accent isn’t the only thing getting roasted this week. Other gnarly burns include those about your grandmother’s favorite search engine, a couple of awful professors, and of course, Elon Musk.
