Goncharov 

A 1973 film centered around the titular character Goncharov (Robert De Niro), a Russian hitman who is currently living in Naples, Italy. Written by Matteo JWHJ 0715 and presented by Martin Scorsese, it was advertised as "The Greatest Mafia Movie Ever Made". Cybill Shepherd stars as Goncharov's wife Katya, and rounding out the cast are Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, and Harvey Keitel. The film was influenced by American Cold War propaganda at the time, and contains heavy political undertones - characters implied to favor communism were portrayed in a far less sympathetic light than those that aren't, and there are allegations that the FBI influenced or interfered with the production with respect to its portrayal of Communist characters. Politics aside, the movie was remarkably ahead of it's time in certain aspects, with a surprisingly homoerotic relationship between Goncharov and Andrey Daddano (Harvey Keitel), and an explicit kiss between Katya and Sofia (Sophia Loren). It has a reoccurring clock motif, the meaning of which has been debated but is generally believed to represent the fact that the characters are running out of time to live. With a story chock full of love, tragedy, death, and betrayal, Goncharov (1973) sure lives up to its tagline.

Person 2: This idiot hasn't seen Goncharov

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
