Movie Dumpster

Pack up the Butterfingers, Dumpster Dwellers, because we're headed to the Amazon this week with Mr. Lobo to MEET THE APPLEGATES!

Unbeknownst to the outside world, a race of giant insects with shapeshifting abilities plot to infiltrate Small Town USA and execute a nuclear holocaust in retaliation.

Join Dick, Jane, Sally, and Johnny as they try to navigate the American dream and the trials and tribulations of life as humans.
