About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a chaotic, punk-fueled cult comedy that values wild detours over tidy storytelling, like After Hours; Not for you if you need a clear plot, grounded tone, or straightforward sci-fi.

Pros: punk attitude; quotable dark humor; rewatchable odd details | Cons: thin meandering plot; confusing late stretch; not for everyone
