Why My Friends Are Odd: Case # 383

This was lent to me by Johnny Devil (obviously), which is a modern opera done on the concept that in the future, elective surgery for genetically improved organs is a common practice, and those organs are financed through payments plans. Thanks to a complacent Congress, the company performing them pushes through legislation that allows them to legally repossess those organs from people who default on their payments. To do so, they send out a Repo Man, a sort of bogeyman figure, as a legal assassin to locate defaulters and harvest the still unpaid organs at the cost of their lives.

There's a certain meta element to it now; an unintentional satire of the modern financial meltdown, and how the predatory financing practices offered hand over fist by many financial institutions which has destroyed the finances of so many Americans ultimately lead to self-destruction. There's a sort of wry lens to view it through.

Stars Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino, and Alexa Vega. It's certainly worth a watch for the visuals alone. It's kind of like what the inside of qodarkness head must look like.
