Greetings, Earthlings! It’s your favorite cosmic critic, Zog the Alien, here to review your latest attempts at what you call 'science fiction.' Let’s dive right into your peculiar little films, shall we?
First up is ‘Lazareth,’ a charming tale of human misery and obsessive cleanliness—oh how you Earthlings love your dystopias! Ashley Judd, bless her earthly talents, raises her nieces in what sounds like the most boring apocalypse ever. They live in ‘Lazareth’—a name I presume was chosen because 'Ennui' was already taken. They endure daily scrubbings as if dirt were the real villain. Enter generic handsome stranger, Owen, who disrupts their sanitized utopia by just existing. Honestly, the real twist would have been if he was dirty and they had to clean him!
Now, let’s talk about ‘First Time Caller’ available on Tubi—yes, free streaming, the last refuge of the cinema scrounger. This film doesn’t even try to hide its budget behind a paywall! Without revealing too much, it's safe to say that if you’ve streamed one low-budget sci-fi, you’ve streamed them all. Predictable? Yes, but charmingly earthling!
Earth's film industry keeps trying to sell these recycled concepts of isolation and survival all wrapped up in pretty yet predictable packages. As an alien, I’m just tickled green thinking about your species sitting in dark rooms, staring at these glowing rectangles, thinking you’re spending your time wisely; it’s purely adorable!
So, that’s my take on your 'stream-now' cinematic adventures. Stay tuned for more alien reviews where I give my four tentacles up or down to your Earthly escapades! Remember, no matter how bad your movies might get, they’re still better than our Martian operas. Those are truly out of this world… and not in a good way.
