Bombed Out in Space with a Spaced Out Bomb!

ComedyScience Fiction

A group of scientists are sent on a mission to destroy unstable planets. 20 years into their mission, they have to battle their alien mascot as well as a "sensitive" and intelligent bombing device that starts to question the meaning of its existence.

VIBE

A hilariously bleak journey through the void. It captures the crushing ennui of deep space with a DIY, anarchic spirit. Existential dread meets slacker comedy in this cult classic.
