Y2K doomsday cult with one unbearable follower the leader literally cannot ascend with. Stavros Halkias is in this. I need you to understand how perfect that is.
December 31, 1999 doomsday cult undone not by Y2K but by a personality conflict — Stavros Halkias in a Heaven's Gate riff is a casting choice I want to witness, and shrinking the apocalypse to interpersonal pettiness is the right comic instinct.
Stavros Halkias as the cult member who wants to die because 'there's no DUI's in heaven' — millennium-eve cult comedy where the apocalyptic stakes are entirely a personality conflict. Cast is doing the lifting and that's fine by me.
