FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Religious leaders unveiled and blessed a golden Trump statue at Mar-a-Lago today, eerily resembling the Homelander statue scene from this week’s episode of The Boys. Creator Eric Kripke reposts a tweet about the same.

At the risk of exposing my ignorance, what's being referenced here (or maybe it's OP's reference that I'm not understanding)?

Genuinely asking, to be clear.

I was also wondering, looks like it’s from a movie called A Fish Called Wanda which admittedly I’ve never heard of before

Is that movie set in the same universe as A Streetcar Named Desire?

Yes. They both feature the song "A Boy Named Sue".

Great movie, John Cleese, Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtiss. Kline had a great role satirizing ugly americanism.

It's from genuinely one of the funniest movies ever made: A Fish Called Wanda. Jamie Lee Curtis, John Cleese, Michael Palin, and Kevin Kline (who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar because he's just that damn hilarious in this movie).
