You cinephile in black and white

Uncle Jerry references the movie Misery (1990) when discussing how the cinephile passage evokes someone who wants to stand up in a theater and yell 'it's fake, it's all fake,' comparing it to the character in Misery who wanted to stand up and yell 'that's not what happened.' The reference is used as an illustrative parallel for the fake/counterfeit theme rather than a direct allusion in the lyrics.
