A late-stage capitalist hell is the setting described by the creators for this animated satire.
A Dystopian Future as the Setting
The story is set in the year 2127, in a world transformed into a late-stage capitalist hell. The plot follows a group of workers who can't stand each other and operate within the gig economy. They travel through the neo-Midwest taking on the strangest and riskiest jobs assigned to them by a job app, also called ODD JOBS.
Promising Humor and Visual Style
McMahan and Dierkes are preparing a project that parodies extreme working conditions in a hypercapitalist future. The concept allows exploring, with a comedic tone, how a diverse and reluctant team faces absurd and dangerous missions just to survive in that system. Titmouse's animation is known for its dynamic and detailed visual style, very suitable for this type of satire. ✨
