It's the fact that they're so often wildly inappropriate as well.

I mean, to mix up Kes, with a films called Mental and Mental Police.

The former is, I think, an Australian black comedy wherein Toni Collette lights her own *****.

That is not Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

It's Andrée Melly and Tony Hancock.

I tried to find out whether that Wild West font you see in films is actually authentic, without much success.

It would seem that the RT people are confusing it with the 2016 film The Novice.

I'm not convinced that plot summary is correct.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

They seem to be mixing it up with a 1967 film of the same name.

It's not the first time they've made that exact same mistake.
