Spaced

Spaced Definitive Collector's Edition DVD, another reason to get a region free DVD player.

Spaced was created by the people who recently made Shaun of the Dead. The movie was inspired by an episode of Spaced where Tim takes speed and plays Resident Evil for twenty four hours straight. Later he hallucinates that zombies are attacking everyone. Check out the Spaced Out website for more on the series. Including episode guides with loving reference listings like:

11 min, 56 sec. into episode four: The line 'We put them down, all of them' was taken from The Phantom Menace trailer, 'Wipe them out, all of them', when we were all very excited about the new Star Wars film and didn't realise what a bone crushing disappointment it was to be. Summer was so full of promise and yet the creeping hand of disillusionment was soon to clasp its icy fingers around our hearts and reveal to us that George just doesn't have a clue. It still hurts.

It's pretty gloriously geeky. Shameless love of pop culture and kitschy camerawork. and there's slow motion pantomine gunfights. The series is currently playing on Trio regularly. (Also coming soon on Trio, Pilot Season, with Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Andy Dick, Jon Benjamin and director/writer Sam Seder on Feb. 20ish.)
