You’re Simply Not Ready for Adult Swim’s “Hot Future”

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.”
