If you’ve read my blog before then you may already know that I am a fan of Aqua Teen. Today I’m telling you about the Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm movie. Keep reading below for my thoughts on this movie.
Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm Review
This movie has one of my favorite trios Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad! It has the hilarious touch that I have come to expect from the series and was very entertaining. One thing that Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm had that I was not expecting, was how political it was. The series was never really topical so to find this movie having issues with unionization was surprising. However, it’s unionizing the workers which end up saving the day in an amusingly cathartic fashion. The film’s satire covers a lot of different targets, there are ironic gags about toxic masculinity and environmentalism, and there are even some jokes at the expense of unions relating to their historical connections to organized crime. All in all, this is a very entertaining movie. Get ready to feast your eyes on the all-new mystery adventure with Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad. And get ready to laugh continuously.
Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm is available now on Digital, 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray, from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This is the second film adaptation inspired by one of Adult Swim’s longest-running animated series – Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Synopsis:
Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm features everyone’s favorite rascals, the Aqua Teens: the brainy Frylock, the mouthy Master Shake, the loveable Meatwad, and everyone’s favorite perverted neighbor, Carl, as they split up then get back together to fight everyone’s favorite corporate overlord, Amazin, led by everyone’s favorite tech mogul, Neil (voiced by everyone’s favorite Peter Serafinowicz) and his trusty scientist sidekick, Elmer (Paul Walter Hauser, who is everyone’s favorite).
Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm stars Carey Means (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “The Brak Show”) as Frylock, Dana Snyder (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “Squidbillies”) as Master Shake, and co-creator Dave Willis (“Squidbillies,” “Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell”) as Meatwad. The film also stars Peter Serafinowicz (“The Tick”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), Natasha Rothwell (“White Lotus”), Robert Smigel (“Bob’s Burgers”) and Tim Robinson (“Detroiters”). The movie was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro and produced by Williams Street Productions. In 2023 Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm will also be available for streaming on HBO Max and will air on Adult Swim.
