This movie is bonkers. If that’s appealing, you’ll probably like it. If not, you’ll be as confused as my wife was. I love the low-tech way they portray virtual reality. Reminds me of New Order’s music video for “True Faith,” which I totally didn’t pick up on at the time.

Do I have a cult movie for you: Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway. Cult in the sense that not too many people seem to have watched it. I promise it’s not religious.

It’s a spy movie filled with retrofuturism, Afrofuturism and absurd humor.

Spanish director Miguel Llansó filmed it in Ethiopia with actors from Eastern Europe filling in for Americans. No need to do their parts in English, the dialogue is just dubbed like in a Japanese monster movie.

It has a really unique low-budget representation of virtual reality combining live acting and stop motion animation. They even found a clever back door way to get Robert Redford and Richard Pryor into the movie.

In JSYTWTTH, the Soviet Union Virus threatens to take over the virtual world known as Psychobook. CIA agents are sent inside to stop it. Agent Gagano, a dwarf who dreams about retiring and opening a pizza restaurant, ends up trapped in another virtual world called Betta Ethiopia.

I really wish I could get people to see this movie so I can talk about the ending. I think I understand it, but I could be wrong. it’s an interesting puzzle.

It’s free if you have Amazon Prime.
