WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Mimi (Hanna) and Luke (Myre) are two young siblings who unintentionally resurrect an ancient alien overlord, who was entombed on Earth millions of years prior following a failed attempt to destroy the universe. Naming the alien Psycho Goreman – or PG, for short – they use his magical amulet to force him to obey their every command, which soon attracts the attention of intergalactic friends and foes who soon arrive for the ultimate fate-deciding showdown…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This hilarious and absurd sci-fi comedy from The Void filmmaker Steven Kostanski sees the fate of the entire galaxy rest in the hands of two young kids in a weirdly endearing manner.
