Remember when Chappie fever swept the country, with all those pet Chappies, and tickle-me-Chappies? Meanwhile, Elliott describes a literary-technique-based dystopian future, Stuart continues to explain the Internet, and Dan just checks out for a while. Like, he totally doesn’t talk for seven minutes or something. Sorry, it was a long week.

Wikipedia synopsis of Chappie
So the most famous example of Zef music would be Die Anterwood, a rap group featuring Yolanda Visser. Hey, wait, wasn’t she in this move? Yes, yes she was. Their music is so weird and intense that it sort that it becomes interesting. Kisser’s voice is babyish and disturbing, but for whatever reason I actually like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMK0prafzw0
Also, when Stuart asked what the selling point of Robot Carnival, I thought about how one would pitch Ninja Scroll…
-“So like there’s this gold mine that everybody wants, and then this group of ninjas goes to find what happened to a nearby town where everybody died, but then this rock monster kills them all except for the only female, who he kidnaps and graphically rapes and…”
-“Wait, and this is a cartoon?”
-“Yeah yeah, it’s animated. So anyways, he graphically rapes her and…”
You guys should totally do the new Fantastic Four next!
