Can confirm. I was born in 91 and I thought Beiber mic as well.

I am unfamiliar with Paul Reiser and his work, but for whatever reason, when I hear comedy genius, I think Brendon Small. Must be a generational thing.

Your memory goes when you get older, you can't remember lines. He was like 50 years old in the Godfather,dude. His generation was people born in the 20s. He is an old man in these movies, he doesn't care. That holds true in most walks of life. As an actor he isn't protecting his legacy, he needs money for something. Notice how little work he did in this film? It is just a pay day

The movie is allegorical. Think Lost ,but done very poorly. The initial film adaption being called " Island of Lost Souls" really tips this off. A Doctor, physician of the soul in a philosophical and religious sense, takes animals,who represent people dominated by their bestial nature, and makes them more human. New lost souls appear on the Island who upset the balance, and the beast-men who have never fully overcome their animal side take advantage and rebel destroying the doctor. The beats are lost after this point in Dr. Moreau, because it was handed off to people who didn't care. However, if you put lost in Chronological order, which I won't do to avoid spoilers, it is essentially the same story, without the heavy handedness of making the people controlled by the baser part of their nature literal animals. You could essentially reverse engineer the beats from Lost to Dr. Moreau.
