Apparently so.

Wrecking the Rising – a new three part drama series from Tile Films filmed at a full sized GPO set constructed inside a hanger at Galway airport. To wit:

The series follows three modern-day Irishmen, Ernest (Owen McDonnell – An Klondike / Single Handed), Tom (Sean T. Ó Meallaigh – The Callback Queen /Vikings) and Seán (Peter Coonan – Love/Hate [currently narrating RTE’s Inside The GPO series]), who endure listless and unexciting lives living in Dublin. Their only enjoyment comes from staging re-enactments of the Easter Rising. After being mysteriously transported back in time to 1916 they cause a huge blunder that has the potential to wreck the Easter Rising before it has even begun. Somehow they must keep history on course – and figure out a way to return to the future.

Wrecking the Rising: TG4, 9.30pm on three consecutive nights from Saturday 23rd to Monday 25th April, 2016

A seamless mashup of a scene from the ‘Rock Bottom’ episode of Spongebob Squarepants and the ‘Royale With Cheese’ scene from Pulp Fiction by YouTuber Innagadadavida.

A few years ago, he did a similarly excellent Bikini Bottom redub of the ‘Jimmy Situation’ scene.

Inspired by Jacob T. Swinney’s compilations of the first and final frames of selected films, Celia Gómez follows suit with her own version, featuring TV series from Hannibal to Friends.

Is there anything to be gleaned from such juxtapositions aside from spoilers?

You be the judge.
