Mad God
It’s a pea, I know. I’m just posting to let everyone know that Mad God is currently on Channel 5’s catchup service. I’ve been waiting a long time to see it.

Saw it last week, coincidentally.
It belongs in the so bad it's good category. The storytelling style is challenging, as is the story itself which seems aimless at best. It has approximately 17 natural endings, each sequentially less satisfying.
Reminded me of Zappa's animations a lot, and the themes and imagery are stolen from several other familiar places like 2001, The Incal, Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Giger, Dark Crystal, Gilliam, etc....
It's very interesting to look at. Quite frustrating if you try to follow the story, such as it is.

Perhaps it suffers for being so long in the making.
