this was the kind of bad i needed this week. still thinking about that hipster-sounding opening music. i take it back, it wasn't REM it was BECK i should have said was emoting during the opening credits. like, a BECK with early DAFT PUNK collaboration. and yet the movie sucked. hard. like a giant octopus *snort*

thank you @Taweret@octodon.social and the rest of the monsterdonian gang. it was fun!
