Well I am definitely going to take a look at Final Offer, based on this!
Enjoy! It came out of nowhere for me. The director seems to specialize mostly in sci-fi shorts and then co-directed a well-received queer coming-of-age feature a couple of years ago, which I will have to check out.
And I'll be checking out Other Other, too--thank you!
Welcome! The writer-director was similarly new to me, but is currently involved with the second season of Severance (2022–) and seems interested in questions of identity across technological lines. I would be interested to see what he did with more films, short or otherwise.
The other three, not so much, but I loved your write-ups, especially of Once in New Moon. Your intro for that had me giggling, and Deus ex runtime made me laugh out loud.
Thank you! I really did have fun with Once in a New Moon, it just really does not have either the time or the license to run itself out to a real conclusion—including the love triangle, which resolves by such default that John Clements just disappears. There isn't a ton of screen science fiction coming out of the UK in that decade besides the landmark of Things to Come (1936) and I was intrigued to find it. I feel no compulsion to encourage anyone to watch the sci-fi sitcoms except out of morbid curiosity.
