“Hilariously offbeat, uniquely stylized and surreptitiously profound.”
– Variety
“Eye-catching and hypnotic, funny and bizarre..”
– Vulture
“An unexpectedly poetic and profound film….A mesmerizing work of art.”
– Seattle Times
Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett), a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company.
The voice cast — which also includes Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Joe Pera, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.
Director: Julian Glander (US 2024) 89 min.
