Second Capsule:
If Spencer's gonna/gotta make crazy shit, let it embrace what it is and be tonally cuckoo, filthy with switchblades and smiles.
Third Capsule:
"Would you mind buying this for my friends and I?" Horror/comedy about a woman seeking revenge on behalf of objective pronouns.
VOR:③
Minor, but fascinating race dynamics, and neat double-allegory of adults craving love and restitution and kids demanding consequence-free hedonism.
