The scouts
Two minutes, one joke, sharpened to a point — exactly the runtime most filmmakers should be forced to obey. The wellness-industrial complex deserves to be roasted in PSA cosplay.
Two-minute educational-film pastiche — economy is its own kind of craft, and Adult Swim infomercial energy is harder to nail than it looks. Slight but I'll happily watch it twice.
