The irreverence and audacity of Adult Swim’s Smalls short films serve up the perfect pallet cleanser between commercial projects with Mike Anderson’s 10-minute epic “Hot Future” providing the latest proof.
A combination of hilarious action trope riffs, retro-future CG, smirky writing, and incendiary choreography, Adult Swim offers this synopsis: “One thousand years in the future, dance is violent and everything is hot. Johnny, a man out of time, hunts for his kidnapped girlfriend, and when the beat drops, no one is safe.”
