238 - Gen¹³

Your Stupid Minds is back with more animation for you! Not anime, but anime-inspired, it's the unreleased in America film adaptation of the comic Gen¹³ from Jim Lee, Brandon Choi and J. Scott Campbell. It's basically if a OVA was slightly less leery and animated like an episode of Batman Beyond. Caitlin Fairchild (Alicia Witt) is a freakin' NERD who is recruited by a shady paramilitary organization. Because of her promiscuous roommate and nothing else, she decides to drop out of college and head to this organization's secret mountain lair, where she learns karate and is yelled at by a Nazi (Cloris Leachman). There she meets Grunge (Flea), a surfer dude, and Roxy (Elizabeth Daily), a smoker. There's also the mysterious Zuko-like rogue Threshold (Mark Hamill) who looks suspiciously like the blonde kid in the cold open. Apparently they're supposed to unlock their Gen¹³ powers, some genetic experiment that killed all their parents and gives them special powers. While snooping in the organization's Secret Files Area, they're attacked by some guards and Caitlin unlocks her powers (gets really strong, boobs get bigger). Soon they all unlock their powers. Grunge turns into whatever he touches, and Roxy can levitate. They fight the Nazi lady in a giant mech suit. Can they escape the facility? Do they even want to? What does this group do? Will Disney ever acknowledge this movie's existence? You'll have to listen to find out!
