Black and Matt Latham, <em>Don't Call Us Shirley!</em> explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way.</p>\n<p>In this episode, the finale of Season 1, they stray into a combination of Christmas and political waters with David Zucker's 2008 'comedy', <strong>An American Carol </strong>aka <strong>Big Fat Important Movie.</strong></p>\n<p>A lampoon of American politics at the tail end of the Bush Administration and the War on Terror, the film takes potshots at liberal democracy, Michael Moore and a whole lot more.
