00:00 I would describe Beth as a single mom that is trying to figure out how to take care of her kids,
00:05 like the modern-day black woman.
00:07 Modern-day woman period.
00:09 There's a lot of women out here abandoned by their mens and trying to figure out how to take care of them.
00:14 And make sure they eat every day and that they grow up to be good, productive people.
00:18 This movie is taking place in modern-day "the world," probably like, you know, 20, 30 years from now.
00:26 And we've been invaded by aliens that have been watching the earth for a long time.
00:32 And these aliens, I guess they came in the 50s and they really liked the 50s.
00:36 And so they invade, figure out how to manufacture our products, take over our economic system,
00:43 and basically have us as their workhorses, if you may, or their consumers of their products.
00:50 And which puts a lot of people out of work and makes them struggle.
00:55 And so there's a lot of struggling going on.
00:58 Either you're struggling or you're conforming, basically.
01:02 I would describe the VUB as turkeys.
01:06 Dry turkeys that need to be oiled up.
01:09 They are very litigious, I would say.
01:14 They take over stuff.
01:17 Beth don't know nothing about life on the platform.
01:20 Beth lives on earth.
01:21 She's staying grounded.
01:22 But, you know, the people that conformed or invested in the VUB enterprises and, you know, worked for the VUB,
01:32 they stay on the platform up there.
01:37 And so they looking crazy.
01:40 They shaving off their eyebrows.
01:42 They putting slime on themselves.
01:44 You know, they, you know, they living good.
01:48 They eating real food.
01:50 And VUB manufactured food, but mostly real stuff.
01:54 I think.
01:55 I don't know because I'm not there.
01:58 Beth isn't there.
01:59 She doesn't really know.
02:00 She goes there to -- Beth goes there.
02:03 I go there to, you know, resolve some issues for my kids.
02:06 But, yeah, she's not feeling it because it feels like the '50s.
02:12 It feels like the 1950s.
02:14 It feels like she in a creepy episode of "Mad Men."
02:19 Chloe is Beth's son Adam's classmate.
02:24 And Adam got a little crush on Chloe.
02:27 Adam feeling Chloe and finds out that she homeless and offers up the family basement to Chloe and her family.
02:37 You know, Beth ain't really feeling that.
02:39 But at the same time, Beth does need the help.
02:43 So we going raw.
02:46 We going raw with it.
02:48 Even though she don't want to raw with it.
02:51 So Beth goes ahead and marries a VUB so that she can get, you know, Adam and Chloe out of this financial deficit that they have occurred.
03:04 While they was trying to make money, they ended up getting themselves in trouble.
03:07 So, you know, Beth goes up and talks to Shirley, which is one of the VUB lawyers, and they work out a deal.
03:16 She works out a deal to be, you know, married to a three-month-old VUB.
03:21 And she's grossed out by it.
03:25 But, you know, she does what she has to do for her kids because she's about survival.
03:29 Aliens invade the earth.
03:33 They take over the whole economic system.
03:36 There's a mother, her two children, and her son.
03:40 Her son is going through puberty.
03:43 He is trying to find his way and identify himself.
03:46 And it's very difficult because the family is struggling financially.
03:50 The dad took off, and then Mama, you know, she's trying to do the best she can.
03:55 I think this movie means that, you know, we're so dependent on the making of products, everything being made for us and not by us.
04:08 And so when you give someone that kind of power, well, they can determine how you eat, how you sleep, how you live.
04:19 And, yeah, I feel like that's kind of what's going on.
04:24 I love his creativity, and I love how smart he is.
04:28 And he allows me to contribute, also reels it in when it needs to be reeled in, and lets me fly free when I need to fly free.
04:36 I think that's a sign of a very smart director, personally.
04:40 But he is very, very smart. Like, crazy smart.
04:45 I think it's because he is Sagittarius, like me, though.
04:48 I think audiences, when they sit down in theaters to see this, they can expect some laughs, some tears, some -- what's the word I want to use?
05:00 Edification.
05:02 And they can't expect to be like, "Oh, you know what this remind me of? '87."
05:11 "Oh, you know what this remind me of? Today."
