Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
An uncomfortable kiss prompts a comparison with an earlier screen kiss that the speaker also found awkward. Naming the actors and film makes the insult specific. The humor depends on that personal judgment being offered as an instant benchmark for how strained the present moment looks.
