Except he lives in a dark and dangerous future where who the Omniframe says you are is exactly who you are and always will be. Until an access protocol that can change all of that is put on the table. Then all bets are off... and a tough guy who's just been poured a sparkling glass of brain damage doesn't have half a chance... does he?

You know that picture of you in high school with the feathered hair and the Dexy's Midnight Runners T-Shirt that your Mom keeps showing to people? That's kind of how I feel about this very goofy pilot / mini-series made about 5 years before Decoder Ring Theatre began these podcasts. But it took our fans about a day and a half to realize that I had left them off the new website completely and object. I suppose it's just as well, as we enshrine this silly world as an official Alternate Universe in Red Panda Adventures 24: The World Next Door. So enjoy with a nostalgic ear, and don't hold your breath for another crossover!
